    according to this in the release notes:

    HWE kernel issues

    To provide support for newer AMD processors, Linux Mint 22.2 ships HWE Kernel 6.14.

    This kernel however has issues with:

    Virtualbox
    Old Intel GPUs which use the i915 driver
    Old NVIDIA cards which use the 470 driver (this driver is no longer supported by NVIDIA and thus doesn’t support newer kernels)

    If you are affected by one of these issues, we recommend you install Linux Mint 22.1 instead, which ships with LTS kernel 6.8.

    You can then perform an upgrade towards 22.2 without switching towards the HWE kernel.

    i ran lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display' and i confirmed i was running i915 but i’m also currently on 22.1 with kernel 6.8; so does that mean i can upgrade normally and not worry about the kernel?
