Publisher's Description
Ubuntu is a Linux distribution that starts with the breadth of Debian and adds regular releases (every six months), a clear focus on the user and usability (it should "Just Work", TM) and a commitment to security updates with 18 months of support for every release. Ubuntu ships with the latest Gnome release as well as a selection of server and desktop software that makes for a comfortable desktop experience off a single installation CD.

A great OS but the 32 bit version as been dropped.

Worth it to install; I only install LTS versions so this is the one to do so imo. :)

Not Ubuntu.

Nice to see I was right, too bad they wasted 7 years on trying to shove Unity up everyone's a$$, now they are are abandoning the idiotic idea altogether.
Gnome is, and always was the right choice for them, ubuntu is a great server and dominates in the cloud space, but for desktop I still recommend Debian. With Debian you never have to worry about Canonical having some retarded idea that forces all their users to change to some new stupid thing that they inevitably abandon leaving all those users stranded. My distro of choice right now is Deepin, an amazing desktop distro which leaves ubuntu behind in every way imaginable.
So ya Im never touching ubuntu ever again because they burned me too many times, but at least now they are taking some steps back in the right direction. Having said that, I have seen the pattern now and Im sure they will repeat the Unity debacle in some other form and go down this road all over again.

Hookay disregard Gnome too, all the Linux devs have basically missed the boat on UI and recently 2 new changes have taken place that will change everything.
Remix OS is now free, its a linux based version of Android that can be installed on any dekstop computer. Amazing.
And if you just want the perfect desktop running on Debian, Deepin Linux i now has hands down the bast UI on the most stable distro on Earth. Goodbye Ubuntu, you missed the boat completely.

You can run gnome on any distro now, and gnome allows customization, ubuntu does not. Not allowing people to change their desktop is the exact opposite of what Linux was meant to be, Ubuntu is therefore the exact opposite of what Linux was meant to be.
4 years after they forced their users to have a dock on the left side that no on wanted, they are finally allowing those of us that dont have a 42 inch wide screen or tablet to move the dock to the bottom. If it takes you 4 years before you listen to your users, you are not worthy of being a linux company Ubuntu. And their other insane quest to get Linux on phones and tablets is not going to work, I mean if a multi billion dollar company like microsh!te could not get their OS on to those devices, what hope does Ubuntu have when they cannot support the android apps and have almost no apps of their own? No one wants this! What we DID want was a replacement for Windows on our desktops, but then they lost that too by trying to capture phone and tablet market.

Why use Ubuntu whe you can use Mint...?
FatBastard reviewed v15.04 (Vivid Vervet) on Apr 23, 2015
Linux Mint is to much better than this.
Aegis69 reviewed v15.04 Alpha 2 on Jan 22, 2015
Love the distro, HATE the DE. Glad that Gnome finally is looking good and since it has extensions its a very linux like DE, unlike UNITY which locks you into everything and allows No customization whatsoever.
Check out this one simple extension on Gnome that allows the dock to be moved;

See Canonical, was that so hard? You are losing massive numbers of users due to your insane desktop policies.

Pros: Great OS.
Cons: No 32 bit
Bottom Line: A great OS but the 32 bit version as been dropped.
lylejk reviewed v18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) on Apr 28, 2018
Pros: Surprisingly fast to install (64-bit in a Virtual Machine) and very fast to boot. Like it that the interface is more like Windows than Apple. :)
Cons: Not sure calling this a con, but this is not Ubuntu; it's LUbuntu. Definitely a difference since LUbuntu is more like Windows (bar on bottome) whereas Ubunta has the bar on top like Apple.
Bottom Line: Worth it to install; I only install LTS versions so this is the one to do so imo. :)
AlphaBetaGamma reviewed v17.10.1 (Artful Aardvark) on Jan 18, 2018
Pros: Wrong one.
Cons: The link downloads Lubuntu 17.10.1
Bottom Line: Not Ubuntu.

the biggest change in 15.04 is not in Ubuntu, but in Kubuntu - this one comes with Plasma 5 as default.
Take the latest from here and enjoy (unetbootin + usb):

Until top panel remains riveted, Linux (Ubuntu flavor) will remain ridged, un-Linux.
Unity panel is acceptable.
As usual, LinuxMint will surely enjoy this "make" to offer us a better build.

roj well said ! Mint or Zorin
