Lilbits: What to know about Ubuntu 22.04 and Intel Alder Lake, and a Chromebook with AMD Ryzen 7 5800U
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is set to launch next week, but if you’re planning to run it on a computer with one of Intel’s new 12th-gen Core processors, one of the first things you might want to do is upgrade the Linux kernel.
In other tech news from around the web, Amazon Kids+ has launched its first two original games, the Nokia C2 2nd-gen budget smartphone that HMD unveiled in February just passed through the FCC on its way to launch, and while you can’t go out and buy a Chromebook with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800U processor yet, the folks at Chrome Unboxed got their hands on a pre-production model and put it through the paces, showing what a Chrome OS laptop can do when equipped with the sort of processor you’d typically find in a premium Windows thin and light notebook.
Most Chromebooks with AMD processors are using older chips, but @chromeunboxed managed to go hands-on with pre-production Chromebook with a Ryzen 7 5800U processor and 16GB of RAM. Unsurprisingly it’s fast. https://t.co/CpaxNQ5tJ8

Ubuntu 22.04 launches next week as a Long Term Support release. It uses Linux kernel 5.15 by default, but if you’ve got a 12th-gen Intel Core chip, you may want to update the kernel to 5.16 or later for improved performance and efficiency. https://t.co/JJzxxamzEH
