My Laptop is very old and doesn't need support for new hardware. Updating to new kernel releases has made me 2nd monitor not to work. How can I opt out of HWE and stay with 5years supported kernel? I don't need new Linux kernels every 6months or so. In server installations GA kernel is the default, is there any option like that in desktop(laptop) version. Please help.

If you want the ga kernel, install the linux-generic kernel packages and then remove the linux-generic-hwe-16.04 kernel packages.
