Kubuntu is a community developed and supported project. Since its launch in October 2004, Kubuntu has become one of the most highly regarded Linux distributions with millions of users around the world.  Our mission is to provide the latest stable KDE software, which includes the flagship project Plasma, our desktop environment on top of a stable Ubuntu core.  We release in 6 monthly cycles, following the same freezes/milestones as Ubuntu.

Kubuntu will always be free to download, free to use and free to distribute to others. With these goals in mind, Kubuntu aims to be the most widely used Linux system, and is the centre of a global open source software ecosystem.

Ubuntu Server brings economic and technical scalability to your data centre, public or private cloud. Whether you want to deploy an OpenStack cloud, a Kubernetes cluster or a 50,000-node render farm, Ubuntu Server delivers the best value scale-out performance available.

Agile, secure, deploy-anywhere technology for fast-moving companies

It doesn't matter whether you want to deploy a NoSQL database, web farm or cloud. Certified by leading hardware OEMs and with comprehensive deployment tools, so you can get the most from your infrastructure.

Our regular release cycle means access to the latest and most performant open source. A lean initial installation along with integrated deployment and application modelling technologies make Ubuntu Server a great solution for simple deployment and management at scale.

Stay up-to-date with regular updates and upgrades

Long-term support (LTS) releases of Ubuntu Server receive standard security updates for around 2,500 packages in the Ubuntu Main repository for five years by default. Every six months, interim releases bring new features, while hardware enablement updates add support for the latest machines to all supported LTS releases.

Ubuntu Pro subscriptions expands security maintenance to over 30,000 packages for 10 years and provides optional, enterprise-grade phone and ticket support by Canonical.

Multi-cloud orchestration

With the option of a command line or browser-based interface, Juju enables you to design and deploy entire workloads in just a few clicks. It works on public clouds like AWS and Microsoft Azure, private clouds built on OpenStack and even directly on bare metal, via MAAS.

Bare metal provisioning

MAAS is a time-saving provisioning system that makes it quick and easy to set up the physical hardware to deploy complex services, like Ubuntu's OpenStack cloud infrastructure. Just plug in your servers, connect them to the network and let MAAS do the rest.

Machine containers

Economics are directly tied to compute density. LXD, the Linux container hypervisor, merges the speed and density of containers with the manageability and security of traditional virtual machines.

Community-driven, featuring Linux Mint's Cinnamon Desktop with Ubuntu at the core, packed fast and full of features, here is the most traditionally modern desktop you will ever love.

Ubuntu Cinnamon is a community-driven flavor of Ubuntu, combining Linux Mint's flagship Cinnamon Desktop with Ubuntu, packed with everything you need to go with it. Keeping stability, speed, and elegance is our top priority.

Cinnamon takes the more traditional approach of a GNOME 2 and MATE-like desktop. Similar to Windows 7, it is easy to transition from your Windows system to Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix, and even if you still prefer to keep Windows on the side, you can always dual-boot Windows and Ubuntu Cinnamon.

Keep everything simple

With Ubuntu Cinnamon, you get the traditional default Cinnamon desktop along with most GNOME Desktop applications. The LibreOffice suite also comes pre-installed.

However, all of these are utilities, so if you want to install an application that will do something for you, such as a firewall of your choice, you can simply uninstall the old firewall, and replace it as your choice.

In other words, Ubuntu Cinnamon gives you the most standardized and traditional software, that allows the user to remove the application and then choose a different application over it as they wish.

Personalization

In Ubuntu Cinnamon, personalization is as easy as ever. You can change whatever your heart desires and it will be accessible.

From changing your desktop appearance to your panel layouts and icon sizes, Ubuntu Cinnamon has it all. Install your themes, enable them, and click away!

Cinnamon Spices

The Cinnamon Community has made plenty of spices, to "spice" up your desktop. From applets that allow you to add more panel entries, to desklets to add more to your desktop, to extensions, to extend your Cinnamon, along with the power of themes, the sky's the limit.
