It is understood that the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is code-named Bionic Beaver, and Canonical will support this operating system until May 2023. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS uses the 4.15 version of the Linux kernel, which supports some new features, such as AMD Secure Memory Encryption, and improvements to SATA Link power management.
In addition, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS sets gcc as the default compiled application, but no longer installs Python 2.x by default. The version of Python 3 has been updated to 3.6, but if you need to install Python 2, you can install it manually.
On the desktop side, the default display service used by Ubuntu is X.org, and Wayland, which has been very popular before, is used as a technology preview, which can be switched on the login interface. It is expected that it may become the default display service on 20.04 LTS.
