Does Ubuntu MATE 22.04.2 LTS uses Python 3.10.6?

Does Ubuntu uses Python for something or it is a pre-installed application like other? I am asking because I would upgrade it and don't want to damage my system.

Hi @Juandev,

Ubuntu is using preinstalled Python. Try this command in terminal to check reverse dependencies on Python: apt-cache rdepends --installed python3 python3.10. Ubuntu 22.04 is put together and tested with Python 3.10, and /usr/bin/python3 shall point to python3.10. You may have different Python versions installed simultaneously, but keep /usr/bin/python3 untouched.

Hope this helps.
