Comment 68 for bug 2034477

Thanks for the kind answer

*Are you sure you have downloaded the right kernel from kernel.org
<http://kernel.org/>?*

Er.... What's this kernel download all about. ?.. Is my ubuntu 22.04 system
*obsolete* already... Why can't a patch meant to provide access to such
basic things like mouse/ touchpad rely on good old solid code fitting every
system for laptop...?

I hadn't bothered downloading the latest kernel, but it seems to be
important so I've dowloaded linux 6.5.9, and extracted with tar

*****NB: NOT simple to do... I had to look for the info then copy/paste the
code in order to launch the tar program... Nothing like a right click on
the file and it'd show the "extract to..." option... WHY !? I ask, because
the hardest part of the job = the extracting program, was done.
Programmers are obviously capable of adding a right-click option and save
time for everyone. The only reason I see is, linux would be designed for
those for whom the very use of a terminal is *the ultimate fun****

... I've entered "sudo su" and have that "#" root sign. My next step is
trying to figure out what "enter [the new kernel]" means. Do we enter
kernels ?
