Apr 3, 2020 at 12:04 comment added terdon @MarkKirby sure, but there has long been a debate on whether or not that should be done by tags or simply by mentioning the version in the question. There has never been a very clear conclusion, but I always thought the consensus was leaning towards only using version tags for things that are version-specific (e.g. "what version of gnome ships with 18.04"), so you wouldn't add the tag just because you happen to be using a version unless your question is specifically about that version. It is certainly not a subject everyone agrees on.
Apr 3, 2020 at 11:49 comment added Mark Kirby @terdon In this instance the OP did state they had 18.04 in the question, so adding that tag seems appropriate.

Apr 2, 2020 at 16:38 comment added terdon I've been away for a bit, have we really decided that this is a valid use of version tags?

Apr 1, 2020 at 17:55 comment added Byte Commander Mod If your question is specific about the default Ubuntu flavour's desktop, you could also use gnome (on 18.04 or newer) or unity (16.04 or older). Don't add it if the desktop environment is rather irrelevant to your question though.
