I decided I wanted the 5.19 kernel for a number of reasons, and when I
ran the usual LTS update (I run Xubuntu22.04.2), it did not show up.

I enabled it via installing the HWE kernel (' sudo apt install
--install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-22.04').

I was quite delighted to find it came up without any issues, I have
yet to see one, and the whole system runs quite a bit faster - visibly
so. FTR, I run a home-built Ryzen 9 5950X with 32Gb RAM on an ASUS
570X mobo. I chose this because I do a fair amount of video
conversions and occasional editing, primarily with ffmpeg, and even
that runs slightly faster.

I have occasionally timed the boot sequence on my machine from the
boot beep to the login screen. It used to run around 40-46 seconds. It
is now 30-35 seconds.

I did not need the new kernel per se, I just really like the speed better.

Just my $0.02...
