Hi Fritz and Israel,

I can confirm that Kinetic is a 5.19 now. Today I installed Lubuntu via

kinetic-preinstalled-server-amd64.img.xz

and lubuntu-desktop, installed into it when running in an external SSD 
according to

"Ubuntu Server amd64 compressed image (when extracted) boots in UEFI and 
BIOS mode",
