I have the basic question: should i "sudo do-release-upgrade" to go from, say, Kinetic to Lunar, before or after installing the corresponding kernel from here?

I suspect the answer is somewhere in the discord channel (this won't have been the first time I wanted to know), but it ought to be included in the upgrade section of the readme

Im not sure if understand the question. sudo do-release-upgrade is just an ubuntu command to upgrade the distribution from kinetic to lunar for example. Once the upgrade has been finished, you just need to runupdate_t2_kernel command to update the t2 kernel.

I see, thank you for the reply. I was updating my kernel by manually downloading and then using "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" to install them. in that scenario, the order isn't enforced (possible to download lunar kernel and install it before doing "do-release-upgrade").

that said, after running the ubuntu release upgrade, update_t2_kernel does not seem to be updating to a lunar kernel. does it need to be installed manually, or does it not matter? 2023-06-27 - 10-38-41

You seem to have done just fine. No issues at all.
