Ubuntu Server versions.

What's the difference between 21.04 and 20.04.3 LTS?

 

I'm trying to create my own personal web server with a raspberry pi 4 and trying to figure out which one to use.

 

Thanks in advance.

LTS means long term support

 

I think Ubuntu states they give 5 years of support for that current version. Other's only get 8 or 9 months

For a server you should pretty much always pick LTS (Long Term Support).

21.04 will have slightly newer software package, but odds are you won't need them and the extra stability and ability to set it and forget it for much longer will be much more useful to you. For a server, LTS is the go-to. On a desktop, it depends on how much you value newer software and having to do a distro upgrade every ~6 months.
