Set GA kernel 6.8 as default in Zorin 18

[Forpli]

Then it is clear. I wondered why to get 6.17 or 7.0 with GA.

Is kernel 7.0 actually the last HWE kernel for Zorin 18/Ubuntu 24, or will a further new HWE kernel be released during Zorin 18 support period?

I suspect it's the last one, since Ubuntu 26.04 is based on the GA kernel 7.0, but I'm not sure.

It depends on Ubuntu. Normally they come with Point Releases. So, when the next Ubuntu 24.04 Point Release will come, we will see if it includes a newer Kernel.

After I've installed the GA stack and removed the HWE stack, I didn't see any updates for kernel 7.0. When I updated the system, a message appeared stating that everything was up to date (with running the latest 6.8 kernel). I don't think, that the kernel will automatically be upgraded to kernel 7.0

Because You have removed everything, it shouldn't come. When You would have saved the 7.0 Kernel then it would be different. So, You should only get Updates for the 6.8 Kernel.
