Ubuntu is a free and open-source Linux distribution based on Debian. Ubuntu is officially released in three editions: Desktop, Server, and Core for the internet of things devices and robots. Download the latest LTS version of Ubuntu, for desktop PCs and laptops.
LTS stands for long-term support — which means five years, until April 2023, of free security and maintenance updates, guaranteed.
