title: Is there a way to connect to Google Colab instance with Ubuntu 20.04 pre-installed?
body: <p>I can upgrade a Colab instance to Ubuntu 20.04 using the commands below. However, it takes about 30 minutes every time so would be a huge timesaver if there were a way to not have to do this. I require Glibc 2.29 or greater, and as far as I can tell, this requires Ubuntu 20.04.</p>
