Ubuntu 18.04 has been released. I see lots of questions about Ubuntu 18.04 from Linux users in various Facebook groups and forums. I have tried to answer those frequently asked questions about Ubuntu 18.04 here. I hope it helps clear your doubts if you had any. And if you still have questions, feel free to ask in the comment section below.Ubuntu 18.04: Your Questions Answered Just for clarification, some of the answers here are influenced by my personal opinion. If you are an experienced/aware Ubuntu user, some of the questions may sound silly to you. If that’s case, just ignore those questions.When will Ubuntu 18.04 be released?Ubuntu 18.04 LTS has been released on 26th April. All the participating flavors like Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Budgie, MATE etc will have their 18.04 release available on the same day.It seems Ubuntu Studio will not have 18.04 as LTS release.What are the system requirements for Ubuntu 18.04?For the default GNOME version, you should have a minimum 2GB RAM and 25 GB hard disk. However, I would advise having 4 GB of RAM for a comfortable use. A processor released in last 8 years will work as well. Anything older than that should use a lightweight Linux distribution such as Lubuntu.Can I use Ubuntu 18.04 on 32-bit systems?Yes and no.If you are already using the 32-bit version of Ubuntu 16.04 or 17.10, you may still get to upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04. However, you won’t find Ubuntu 18.04 bit ISO in 32-bit format anymore. In other words, you cannot do a fresh install of the 32-bit version of Ubuntu 18.04 GNOME.The good news here is that other official flavors like Ubuntu MATE, Lubuntu etc still have the 32-bit ISO of their new versions.In any case, if you have a 32-bit system, chances are that your system is weak on hardware. You’ll be better off using lightweight Ubuntu MATE or Lubuntu on such system.Where can I download Ubuntu 18.04? Download Ubuntu 18.04 Directly You can get the ISO image of Ubuntu 18.04 GNOME from its website. You have both direct download and torrent options. Other official flavors will be available on their official websites.Can I download Ubuntu 18.04 via torrent?Yes. you can. If you have an inconsistent or slow internet, you can download Ubuntu ISO image via torrent as well. Just go to the Ubuntu download page and look for alternative downloads. Scroll down a bit and you’ll see the torrent options.For your comfort, I have provided the link to the alternative downloads (i.e. torrents) page here.Do I have to pay for Ubuntu or purchase a license?No, Ubuntu is completely free to use. You don’t have to buy a license key or activate Ubuntu like you do in Windows.The download section of Ubuntu requests you to donate some money but it’s up to you if you want to give some money for developing this awesome operating system.Can I install Unity on Ubuntu 18.04?Yes, you can.Canonical knows that there are people who simply loved Unity. This is why
