Choose this if you have a computer based on the AMD64 or EM64T architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon, Core 2). Choose this if you are at all unsure. The server install image allows you to install Ubuntu permanently on a computer for use as a server.
Next,
All normal releases (13.04 and later) are only supported for 9 months. All LTS releases (12.04 and later) are supported for five years on both the desktop and the server. Older versions had slightly different support cycles, but they haven't been included as they're all unsupported now. See the Ubuntu Wiki for historical information.
Likewise, However, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS will be supported for 5 years both for desktop and server releases. Canonical provides security updates for the LTS releases for 3 years on the desktop and 5 years for the server version. The normal release is only supported with updates for 18 months.

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS users noticed minor visual changes with a touch of dark on Nautilus. There is no option to remove the Dock at users’ discretion. Compared to Ubuntu 18.04, it takes less time to install Ubuntu 20.04 due to new compression algorithms.
Consequently,
An estimated 95% of all Ubuntu installations are LTS releases. Every six months between LTS versions, Canonical publishes an interim release of Ubuntu, with 21.04 being the latest example.
