There's a super long list there, but most everything has been updated or superceded.

The standard (updated) kernels are:

  * Focal: 5.4.0-174.193
  * Jammy: 5.15.0-101.111
  * Mantic: 6.5.0-26.26

And if you haven't updated, apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade.

Can you help me with reading that page? What's the difference between the `linux-kvm` vs `linux-hwe-6.5`? They both list different release fixes for Jammy, 5.15.0-101.111 and 6.5.0-26.26 respectively.

Edit: Oh it looks like the generic kernel is the one named just "linux" and also has 5.15.0... as the patched version on Jammy

FWIW, hwe is hardware enablement, so bleeding edge kernel on older distro. KVM is specifically focused on KVM virtual machines.
