Hi,

this is an excellent question, since 5.15 is a longterm kernel and 5.19
isn't supported by kernel.org [1]. I suspect that the Hardware
Enablement Stack kernel is the same as the kernel of the next release,
since it is maintained by Ubuntu developers for this non-LTS release. If
your hardware doesn't require a newer kernel, it might be smarter to
stay with a longterm kernel that is maintained by kernel.org and Ubuntu,
instead of using a kernel that is maintained by Ubuntu developers only.

Just my 2 Cents,
Ralf
