You can change the kernel if you want through update manager.Linux mint doesnt always follow with ubuntu.

It’s been available for a while.

In the software updater select View > Linux Kernels.

Linux Mint do not use the HWE kernel like Ubuntu. However, be on the lookout for a Linux Mint 21.2 Edge ISO. It's not released yet, but that ISO will use a newer kernel.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
