I was wondering why everyone is using ubuntu Server 22.04.3 LTS instead of 23.1?
Didn't see u for ages, pal. How are you?
Look, 22.04.3 is not important, but "LTS" (= Long Term Support). LTS means Ubuntu will keep updating and maintaining this version for some more years. What is an Ubuntu LTS release? | Ubuntu So, at least we can rest assure on the internet security update. That just fits your style. (joking) Of course, from time to time, you still have to manually press the "OS update" button in SO menu under "System" , to enjoy the coverage in coming years. As LTS is not smart enough to update itself automatically.
Remember to use the Ubuntu SERVER 22.04 LTS, and choose minimal installation during installation process. Enjoy.
