The idea is to install HWE kernel.

For desktop:

sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04

For servers:

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04


Do note that HWE is enabled for people who downloaded and installed Ubuntu 18.04.2. So these users will get Kernel 5.0 without any trouble.
