There are three types of Ubuntu releases published to the Microsoft Store:

Ubuntu 20.04.x. This will always be 20.04 and upgrades won’t be proposed.

Ubuntu without a version number. This is the latest LTS version of Ubuntu after the first point release. At the time of writing, it is Ubuntu 22.04. It will remain Ubuntu 22.04 until the first point release of the next LTS release of Ubuntu, for example 24.04.1 in 2024.
Ubuntu Preview is a daily build of the latest development version of Ubuntu. You should install it if you want to live on the edge but not for production workload as it doesn’t receive the same amount of QA as stable releases and may break at any time.

for this tutorial I am going to choose Ubuntu without a version number.
