Following my previous post: How do i make my Intel GPU (9a78 rev 01) compatible
I decided to create a different post since it got a different plot twist.
It started with my machine not knowing about my GPU and I got to understand that my kernel isn't updated.
The thing is - I upgraded my machine in the past from 20.04 to 22.04, and I want to believe that the kernel get's update too (?), but seems like the kernel didn't upgrade? or got downgraded?

trying to follow: https://itslinuxfoss.com/check-update-ubuntu-kernel-version-ubuntu-22-04/
There's a list of kernels which I don't know which is the most recent stable: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
What are the best practices or your routines to automatically check for STABLE updates and upgrades (OS, kernel, packages, other[?])
I usually use:
sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade; sudo apt dist-upgrade
but apparently this isn't enough, and i want to add to it some more.
Are there any more automated safe ways to do that?
Please help me understand the concept of all of this?
