A non specific reply:

I found 22.04 running on an 4xi7 NUC iffy in so many ways that after 2-3 weeks I replaced with openSuSE.
I was running fixes/32 and to my query Stephen Worthington opined that one should avoid LTS until .1.
EG (of many) I use backintime, but it has python issues and wont run on 22.04

In answer to your rsync query the general answer is yes, but the reverse is no ie an executable compiled on 22.04 will not run on 20.04.  

The HES of ubuntu makes 22.04 sort of redundant and I did not find any SW that was availble on 22.04 that was not available on 20.04

PS I find a myriad of ting glitches on fixes/32 that I never saw on fixes/31. EG watching everything I think is relevant on nmon, I get eg .4s pause in 10 min. Both opseSuSE and 22.04 were the same (for other reasons 24M ram on m2 (using trim!)
