KDE Neon updates from Kubuntu/Ubuntu

Sat May 15, 2021 10:30 pm
I'm sorry if the question is stupid, i'm new to Linux. Just a curiosity, Ubuntu/Kubuntu LTS is now version 20.04.2 ,where ".2" is just a point release, right, to fix bugs, security issues, etc. So the question is, since KDE Neon is based on the latest LTS (20.04), so KDE Neon doesn't get the updates that come with the .2, right? In other words, Neon would keep the latest KDE plasma, but with the 20.04 updates only, and would not get the updates that come with 20.04.2, right?

I faced that doubt, when I saw the kernel version from both, KDE Neon which is 5.4, and Kubuntu which is 5.8, kernel that came with the ".2" (20.04.2) updates, if I'm not mistaken. Of course my main concern is not the kernel, but the bug fixes and security updates that came with the ".2" updates.

Thanks a lot.

Other than the kernel, the security updates in both are identical. For whatever reason Neon has not enabled the HWE stack that brings in the newer kernels in 20.04.2, though this is easy to do if desired.

Both the 5.4 and the 5.8 kernel in 20.04 receive security updates
