   Not if it works. It came up on r/linuxmint today that if you upgrade to   
   22.3 you don't necessarily get the 6.14 kernel. Apparently the 22.2 iso I   
   installed had it but if your original install had 6.8 that what it will   
   stay.   
      
   For the library program we'll use the 22.3 isos. Windows refugees won't   
   know any difference.
