The "amd64" version of this version means that it is designed for computers using 64-bit processor architecture. "Desktop" means that this is a version suitable for desktop environments, including a graphical user interface (GUI) and a series of pre-installed applications, allowing users to use Ubuntu directly on the desktop.
