It was decided to support "legacy software", i.e. select 32-bit i386 packages, for Ubuntu 19.10 (since out of support) and 20.04 LTS. [43] On 9 August 2024, Ubuntu announced a change in policy to always use the latest upstream code of the Linux kernel at the time of each Ubuntu release, even if the kernel code hasn't seen a stable release.

In June 2020, a benchmark with 173 tests with an AMD Threadripper 3970x shows good performance with WSL 2 (20H2) with 87% of the performance of native Ubuntu 20.04.0 LTS. This is an improvement over WSL 1, which has only 70% of the performance of native Ubuntu in this comparison. WSL 2 improves I/O performance, providing a near-native level. [51]
Ubuntu releases are also given code names, using an adjective and an animal with the same first letter – an alliteration, e.g., "Dapper Drake".With the exception of the first two releases, code names are in alphabetical order, and except for the first three releases, the first letters are sequential, allowing a quick determination of which release is newer.

Its main differentiation from Ubuntu is that it uses the MATE desktop environment as its default user interface (based on GNOME 2 ), instead of the GNOME 3 desktop environment that is the default user interface for Ubuntu.
Snap is a software packaging and deployment system developed by Canonical for operating systems that use the Linux kernel and the systemd init system.

A light-weight Linux distribution is one that uses lower memory and/or has less processor-speed requirements than a more "feature-rich" Linux distribution. The lower demands on hardware ideally result in a more responsive machine, and/or allow devices with fewer system resources (e.g. older or embedded hardware) to be used productively.
