Debian-based Ubuntu is the starting point for many other distributions, including Linux Mint and OS SORIN. There are at least two builds for the desktop version: the so-called LTS (Long-Term Support) build, which has received at least five years of support since its release, and the BreeDing-Edge version, which comes with nine months of security and maintenance updates. In each case, in the case of this review, the build number is 23.10 – indicates the year and month of release, so 23.10 will be supported until July 2024 and until April 22.04 LTS. New versions appear every six months for shear builds, and LTS versions every other year.

Both 23.10 and 22.04.3 LTS require 4GB memoryalthough in different cores (6.5 vs. 5.17) and desktop environments (GNOME 45 vs. GNOME 41/42), 25GB of driver space and 2GHz dual-core processors, despite running on different cores (6.5 vs. 5.17) and desktop environments. Build 23.10 also runs more latest versions in its default application, FirefoxLibreoffice and Thunderbird. Of these, perhaps the most important is Thunderbird, which is 91-bit in LTS version and 115.2 in 23.10. Thunderbird 115 has made significant interface improvements, and even if you have the LTS version installed, we recommend that you update Thunderbird to at least 115 yourself.
