I find myself fairly regularly hearing about new features in the Linux kernel (the core of Linux operating systems), getting excited, and checking to see if my distribution's repository of packages has the latest kernel built. Unfortunately, Ubuntu's repositories don't have the most recent versions of the kernel available for some time.
Fortunately, the Linux kernel is open source, so we can freely download the kernel's source code, compile it, and install it.
This article details the steps necessary on a fresh install of Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine).
