A lot of times you may see when installing packages that apt will recommend packages, a lot of times when doing things like upgrading or install a new kernel, it is very smart at recommending related packages (eg. modules, headers, extras etc..)

All you need to do is add this flag to your "apt install" command:

--install-suggests

As you can see below, when we add this flag, it then installs all of the "Suggested packages" from above:

sudo apt install --install-suggests linux-image-5.15.0-119-generic
