Hi there!
I am new to Linux.
I am using Zorin 17, and I recently ran apt update and apt upgrade to update the system, and this is what happened:

So I wanted to be sure that things went smooth, and checked what kernel I was running (I rebooted before doing this):
uname -r
6.5.0-14-generic
and checked what kernels I have installed:
sudo apt list --installed | grep linux-image
linux-image-6.2.0-39-generic/jammy-updates,jammy-security,now 6.2.0-39.40~22.04.1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
linux-image-6.5.0-14-generic/jammy-updates,jammy-security,now 6.5.0-14.14~22.04.1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
linux-image-generic-hwe-22.04/jammy-updates,jammy-security,now 6.5.0.14.14~22.04.7 amd64 [installed,automatic]
So, my question is: am I really running the updated kernel version (with the updated NVidia driver?). If not, how can I use this kernel?
As a side effect, I run apt upgrade again and received the following message:
sudo apt upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
dnsmasq-base
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
I read that this means that there are two or more packages that need different versions of dnsmasq-base, and so the installer decided to keep them both. Is there something I can do about it? Or should I keep it the way it is?
Thanks for any input.
