I don't know how or why, but i have HWE installed. At least, apt
claims there is an update for it:
# apt list --upgradable -a
Listing... Done
linux-headers-generic-hwe-20.04/focal-updates,focal-security 5.13.0.28.31~20.04.15 amd64 [upgradable from: 5.11.0.46.51~20.04.23]
linux-headers-generic-hwe-20.04/now 5.11.0.46.51~20.04.23 amd64 [installed,upgradable to: 5.13.0.28.31~20.04.15]
linux-headers-generic-hwe-20.04/focal 5.4.0.26.32 amd64
But used kernel right now seem to be a shipped version:
# uname -ar
Linux host1 5.4.0-91-generic #102-Ubuntu SMP Fri Nov 5 16:31:28 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I've tried to remove the HWE package, but it seem to install the 18.04 version...on a 20.04? As this doesn't seem right, I've stopped the process:
# apt remove linux-headers-generic-hwe-20.04

Abort.
What is wrong here? I want to stick with the 5.4.0-xx version only, and not use any HWE version on this system.
