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 ?
P.S. Storage is reported as 256.1 GB which is correctly displayed as 256GB in Jammy.
In Jammy with same device, memory is correctly reported as 8GB .

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.
