I was just browsing this page:
https://itsfoss.com/ubuntu-hwe-kernel/
And it suggests running:
sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04
To get a HWE enabled Kernel. I ran it but the output said I was already on Kernel 5.3 (Obviously, because this was fresh install of the latest Neon snapshot. Don't ask )
It did, however suggest to install the following packages, I cancelled wondering if there was any benefit to installing them since I'm using a near ten year old Thinkpad:
Recommended packages:
xserver-xorg-input-wacom-hwe-18.04
The following packages will be REMOVED
xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-input-all

xserver-xorg-video-qxl xserver-xorg-video-radeon xserver-xorg-video-vesa

0 to upgrade, 15 to newly install, 16 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.
Need to get 2,634 kB of archives.
After this operation, 565 kB disk space will be freed.
