Debian -based Ubuntu is the jumping point for many other distributions, including Linux Mint and Zorin OS. The desktop version is available in at least two brings: the so -called LTS (long -term support), which receives support for a period of not less than five years of the version, and the edge of the bleeding, which comes with nine months of security and maintenance updates. In each case, the construction number -23.10 indicates this review-to the year and month of the version, so 23.10 will enjoy support until July 2024 and 22.04 LTS until April 2027. new versions appear every six months of advanced construction, and every year for the LTS version.

Each of 23.10 and 22.04.3 LTS requires 4 GB memory, 25 GB drive and 2 GHz dual -core processor, although it operates on a different nucleus (6.5 versus 5.17) and desktop environments (GNOME 45 against GNOME 41/42). Build 23.10 also runs more recent versions of its virtual applications, Firefox, Libreofice and Thunderbird. Among them, perhaps the most important thing is Thunderbird, which is located in 91 in the LTS version and at 115.2 at 23.10. Thunderbird 115 provided significant improvements in the interface, and even if you install the LTS version, we recommend that Thunderbird update to at least 115 yourself.
