This version of Ubuntu is the latest one (As on JAN 2023). I have made efforts to integrate all essential ICT based software inside it, so that no need to be troubled by low internet in remote areas, if this OS is installed. [You need internet only to download this version once to create a single installer, and not on each installed computer.]
I have put the list of apps already included, but that will change during every update, a bit. That also includes all the apps in https://dsert.kar.nic.in/learning_materials/ict_course/ICTStudentCourseSoftwaresInstallationGuide.pdf and many more added later on. Some tweaking and new commands such as apt-fast upgrade to overcome slow server problems, and apps like grub customizer for better GUI at boot screen are worth mentioning.
Older apps like TurtleBlocks are still included in 22.04LTs build, which are not possible to install directly after 18.04 LTS. This was done contineous and some improvements are not documented.
Since this is a test phase, I request, not to try by anyone who has trouble in understanding these things on regular basis. ???? However, you need not be discouraged by anything, if you want to try any way; just go ahead.
Once determined that the OS is stable and found fit to be used on daily use computers, the password will be removed, and links will be made public. Till then, anyone can read how to install these and also use previous versions from here.
