It’s just my newer AMD Ryzen APU based hardware that’s getting the HWE Kernels as that’s still getting some features enabled and supported in the Kernel so I’m more than Likely to be keeping the Latest Mint Edition on the newer hardware rather than hardware that’s as old as 10+ years since release and will not likely need any significant feature support other than bug/security fixes and some minor API Updates! I’m still on Linux Mint 20.0 on my older Intel Core i series laptops that are Ivy Bridge/Sandy Bridge and one First generation Intel core i series based laptop that will probably do fine on Kernel 5.4 until 2025 anyway. But I’m never one to move right away to any new Mint “Point” release before that’s been out for a few months just so see if any regressions or bugs show up there. I’m also running a Ryzen 3400G Based Mini Desktop PC that’s running fine so far with Linux Kernel 5.11. But I’m waiting to see if there will be a Mint Cinnamon “Edge” ISO with Kernel 5.11 as that’s a little newer there for that AMD Ryzen APU Hardware that’s getting more features supported with the Newer Linux Kernels. So when Linux Mint 20.1 was released there was a vetted HWE Kernel 5.8 “Edge” ISO offered by the Mint Maintainers and I had been using that but have since updated my Kernel to 5.11 and have had no issues that I have noticed there. I’ll have to wait for the Mint 20.2 HWE Kernel vetting and see what Kernel will be used there as Kernel 5.4 is just not going to work out well for My Ryzen 5 3550H APU based Laptop that has to have Kernel 5.6 or later to operate it’s cooling fans properly.
