If you do install LL 2.6 and use Lite Upgrade to upgrade to LL 2.8, you'll be on the 3.13.x long term support kernel. As with the operating system, that kernel is supported until April 2019. Unlike the 3.x series which installs kernel security updates as part of the Install Updates utility, in the 2.x series, you have to update the kernel manually. So every so often (biweekly to monthly), I run the following in a terminal:
And then I remove the old kernels using Lite Tweaks. Right now, I'm on kernel 3.13.0-107-generic, which is the newest version.
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-generic
