I saw something about that. I've got 21.1 installed on my little Dell
Latitude 3180. It's currently got the 6.8 kernel, but the 6.14 kernel is
available in the Update application if I want to install it. Everything is
working well on 6.8, so I see no reason to do this (except maybe as an
experiment). On my main computer (the one I'm using now) I'm at kernel 5.15
(using Linux Mint 21.3). I can upgrade to kernel 6.8 if I want but (again) I
see no reason to do so.

I don't know what machines you're installing this on, but if they're newer,
kernel 6.14 "might" work better. (It's easy to drop back to 6.8 if the new
kernel causes issues.)
