Looking for Lubuntu 20.04 User Manual

cn flag

I'm looking for the Lubuntu 20.04-specific manual, and I can't find it anywhere. Any help appreciated.

FYI: As @Terrance said in comment on the first answer, Lubuntu has it's own infrastructure (*even if parts are owned by Canonical (web addresses) so as to prevent issues like have happened in the past, like all flavors it's under flavor control*) thus sites such as https://lubuntu.me/links/ can allow you to reach members & other users quickly. Yes they have people allocated to check various sites (*eg, now*) but if asked on a site where Lubuntu members are around you'll have the chance of faster responses

@Terrance provided the latest link

The word stable in that link/URL refers to the latest stable release; thus is the Lubuntu 21.10 manual.

The lts manual can be found at

ie. it's just the word stable replaced with a lts so you can view the latest LTS manual instead of latest stable (non-LTS) manual.

Terrance noted that changing the link of the URL can be problematic in some browsers (using the same firefox I use too) so it may require you to copy & paste the link in a new tab; make change in the address line then press enter to view the page. The comments are currently viewable below this answer.

FYI: If you want to view the latest we have; replace the *stable* or *lts* with *master*...

Just don't try to replace the word `stable` with `lts` after you have already opened it or you will pull your hair out. ;) It kept changing it back to `stable/lts` on mine and UGH! I had to open it in a new tab for it to work right. +1

:) It works for me, and I do it very often.. but the results may vary on the browser that you're using.. The way this [stable/lts/master/..] works is common with other Ubuntu projects/doco (as I recall it was a Canonical/Ubuntu person who suggested it as a means for manual version control, but we had many *standards* to choose from..)

Well I was doing it in Firefox for me. So I'm thinking when I get home here I'm going to go ahead and delete my answer because yours is way better than mine. :-) and I'm honestly not here just for upvotes so it's all good with me I think your answer is is great. :-)

I'm using `firefox` too... maybe I get better reactions as my firefox history already has entries for `manual.lubuntu.me/lts` & `manual.lubuntu.me/stable` ... thus you're experiencing what more readers of this site will get rather than what I see. Yeah the 'upvotes', &'awards/achievements' on this site really feel like *spam* (*annoying distractions*) to me...

Excellent answer. `/lts` gets me there whether pasted or typed over `/stable`. I use Librewolf by the way.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
