Research direction

The issue points to Update Manager's View > Linux kernels screen and asks for notification behavior when a new kernel series becomes available. Start by tracing how that screen detects or presents kernel series and how existing Update Manager notifications are handled. Done means users can be notified about a newly available kernel series instead of finding it only through that view.

Description

FEATURE REQUEST

Hi LM team,

Is it possible to add a notification pop up when a new kernel series is available? For example, there is HWE kernel now available with 6.14 kernel (LM 22.1), but you can only noticed it if you go to "View > Linux kernels" in update manager.
