Kernel 5.19 released as stable just a few hours ago. Notable features include further Zen 4 APU support, further support for the Intel DG2/Alchemist GPU, idle driver support for Alder Lake processors, initial support for Raptor Lake P processors, Apple M1 NVMe controller support, and tons of other features/bug fixes/performance improvements.
