In Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, the "GNOME" version comes from the version of gnome-desktop3, not the version of gnome-shell. At this point, we are very unlikely to update gnome-desktop3 for that minor issue.
Similarly, we aren't going to update a 4 year old Ubuntu release to adjust how RAM is reported in gnome-control-center. The difference you noticed might be seen if your system has integrated graphics (like with Intel) and some of the RAM is used by the graphics card. I am closing this bug since there is no action we will take here and the issues are minor. If you still experience this or similar issues on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or the development version of Ubuntu, please open a new bug. Also, please open one bug per issue. You mentioned multiple issues in this bug. ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2056209 Title: Incorrect Info In About Section Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: In Ubuntu 20.04.6 , the control-panel's About Section reports my memory to be 7.5GB instead of 8GB and the gnome version is mentioned as 3.36.8 which i believe should be 3.36.9 as the gnome-shell package is at 3.36.9 ?
