Fifteen years. It was the first Linux I trusted on servers I cared about, the first one that made hardware support feel solved, and for a long stretch it was the obvious answer to &ldquo;what Linux should a sane person install?&rdquo;</p> <p>I don&rsquo;t run it on my desktop anymore. I don&rsquo;t run <strong>Ubuntu Server</strong> either — though that&rsquo;s a personal-taste call and not a knock on the product, which is still a perfectly good distribution that I&rsquo;d happily recommend to most people. <strong>Ubuntu has split in half</strong>: the server side is still strong, the desktop side has gone somewhere I&rsquo;m not willing to follow, and the two halves deserve very different treatment. Especially because we just got <strong>Ubuntu 26.04 LTS &ldquo;Resolute Raccoon&rdquo;</strong> on April 23, and the headlines are mostly cheerful about features that don&rsquo;t fix the things that actually drove me away.</p>
