Ubuntu (/ʊˈbʊntuː/uu-BUUN-too) is a Linux distribution based on Debian and composed primarily of free and open-source software.123 Developed by the British company Canonical and a community of contributors under a meritocratic governance model,14 Ubuntu is released in multiple official editions: Desktop,5 Server,6 and Core for IoT7 and robotic devices.89

Ubuntu is published on a six-month release cycle, with long-term support (LTS) versions issued every two years.1011 Canonical provides security updates and support until each release reaches its designated end-of-life (EOL), with optional extended support available through the Ubuntu Pro and Expanded Security Maintenance (ESM) services.1213

Ubuntu can be installed directly on hardware or run within a virtual machine. It is widely used for cloud computing, with integration support for platforms such as OpenStack.14 It is also one of the most popular Linux distributions for general desktop use,1516 supported by extensive online communities such as Ask Ubuntu, and has spawned numerous community-maintained variants.17

The name “Ubuntu” comes from the Nguni philosophy of ubuntu, which translates roughly as “humanity to others” or “I am what I am because of who we all are”.1
