So it looks like overall the Lu 20+ install is "OK" . . . except for
the issue with Chromium ID in the drop down menu??
Having just done a couple of upgrade moves to get to 20.10 in both of
my ubuntu distros, I do recall seeing a wiki that seemed to suggest
going from LTS to the next LTS, in this case 18.04 . . . and then to
20.04 . . . you may have gone through that process, but it wasn't
spelled out . . . **possibly** if you jumped from 16 straight outta
compton to 20???? that may have got some stuff "mishandled"????
Usually if there is some issue, even "bug report" level stuff, after a
few updates they often "just disappear . . . gone . . . just like
that, gone . . . ."

OK, well, that might be "exclusive," as in my lxde desktop
session I have a visual listing of it . . . . Did you run
another "apt update/dist-upgrade" subsequently to your install?

It does appear in the menu when using the Lubuntu, or lxqt
desktop. It just doesn't appear in the menu when using the
lxde desktop.

I originally installed Lubuntu as a test system, and I kept
updating it to the latest version. I'm not sure which level I
started with.
When I upgraded to Lubuntu 20.04 (in a terminal session, using
"sudo do-release-upgrade -d"), things seemed to be working well,
and I was able to install my Eclipse Java development environment,
and things were working well.
My Ubuntu 20.04 upgrade (which I was thinking of switching to),
didn't end up with a working Eclipse development environment.
Using the LXDE desktop on Lubuntu 20.04, I was able to even use my
strange color scheme, which I like a lot, and things were working
in Eclipse.
So I restored my production files from 16.04 to the 20.04 system,
and started working with that.
That process proceeded without many problems, so I 'transferred my
flag' to the new system.
I'm just now cleaning up the last few 'rough edges'.
The thing I like most about the new system, is that Rosegarden now
loads channel recording filters (which it didn't on 16.04, and
LibreOffice Writer, once again allows you to produce HTML files
where graphics images are linked-to in the HTML file, rather than
forcing you to embed them as data within the HTML file.
I've been using an old copy of openSUSE Linux for editing HTML
web-pages, because of the need to keep the graphics images
separate. But now, I can use my production system to do it once
again.

Probably, the system I used, was a fresh-install of Lubuntu 18.10, to
which I added my MIDI music & KeyMusician Keyboard test applications,
and did my testing.
That system was upgraded (and tested) through 19.04, 19.10 (which I set
up to use the LXDE desktop), and finally to 20.04, recently. The
release notes say you can't upgrade from 18.04 to any of the later levels.
I took that test system, installed a lot of applications (including the
Eclipse Java development environment, which is a snap-package), with the
idea of evaluating it as a production system.
I then restored all my home directory files, using the Backups
application (deja-dup) from a backup taken on my Lubuntu 16.04 system.
I installed a number of other applications I realized I needed
(including Chromium), and started using the new system. I tried out
both the LXDE desktop, and the LXQT desktop.
Surprisingly, there were few problems. Chromium not appearing in the
menu being one of them.
I have gone nearly a week with the new system now, and am able to do all
the things I normally do.
