Ubuntu

Debian-based • LTS releases • Desktop/Server/Cloud

Ubuntu is one of the most widely used Linux distributions and is often the default recommendation for people moving from Windows or macOS. Built on Debian and maintained by Canonical with a large community, Ubuntu focuses on predictable releases, security updates, and a polished experience. It ships with strong hardware compatibility, excellent documentation, and a massive package ecosystem through APT repositories, Snaps, and third-party PPAs when needed. Ubuntu is used everywhere: laptops, workstations, servers, containers, and cloud images across major providers. Long Term Support (LTS) editions are maintained for years, which makes Ubuntu a common choice for production servers and enterprise deployments where stability matters more than the newest versions.
