What is the difference between Ubuntu and Ubuntu 18.04 in the Windows Store?

Question

linux

It is necessary to install the Linux subsystem in Windows 10. Following the official instructions ( https://docs.microsoft.com/ru-ru/windows/wsl/insta... ) I entered the word "ubuntu" in the Windows Store in the search and there from the necessary options in the search results were:

• ubuntu
  
• Ubuntu 18.04
  
• Ubuntu 16.04
  

The most rated (number of stars) is simply "Ubuntu". If you go to its description on the Windows Store, it says that it seems to be based on Ubuntu 18.04 and was released on July 10, 2017 (what does this mean? The date the product was first uploaded to the Windows Store or the product was last updated in Windows Store?).

Actually what is the difference between the product "Ubuntu" and "Ubuntu 18.04" in the Windows Store?

Answer 1

1. take 18.04 LTS - long support cycle and higher reliability
2. try to use the Windows Store less often
