I am planning on dual booting a windows 11 laptop with an AMD Ryzen 5 processor, 8 GB RAM, and 512 GB SSD with Lubuntu. I planned on using Lubuntu because it is lightweight, and I wanted to use a distribution that is well-supported (I assume this since Lubuntu is an official flavor of Ubuntu). However, if for example I wanted to install MATLAB on this laptop, the MATLAB Linux System Requirements list several distributions, including

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

but will software distributed for Ubuntu work with Lubuntu? I am sure this is very much a noob question, but this is my first time looking into dual-booting.
