I voted for 10.04. The world has moved on, but man. For one golden moment I could have everything: a polished, consistent desktop, the latest version of MS Office running in WINE, a well-maintained GTK MAME frontend. It was pretty nice.
14.04 was as good as unity ever got. 18.04 is pretty great, too.
For desktop, the newest is always best for me. USB C docking. Thunderbolt support. Multiple monitors.
Gnome is better than ever, nice new theme etc.
Apps actually working well now. Nice support for Spotify, slack, etc
16.04 .. the newer ones I can't get my programs I like to work..
You should have made a poll for the worst release like we'll the introduction of Unity, killing Gnome2 or the systemd bloat.
Using ubuntu since 8.04 LTS. Windoze drove me away to linux. Back then, canonical even sent free installation CDs anywhere in the world. I haven't left since that time.
IMHO, Unity was one of the best things that happened to ubuntu. I still run 18.04, with unity 7 on it. Can't leave yet.
16.04 was a very polished release without contraversies like the Amazon app / plug in like in 14.04 (?... am I right with the release number). I was most satisfied with it, and felt like making the least compromises in that release
wily werewolf. Simply because I started using Linux with fedora 8 werewolf.
I used Ubuntu’s OS from 12.04 to 16.04, sticking with the LTS versions when they were released. Unity was what pulled me in, and when I saw GNOME it did not brush me correctly. I still use Linux, just a different version, but I Ubuntu a great amount of thanks.
While 19.10 is absolutely the best, and very similar to 18.10 (Lubuntu), any version above 18.10 has severe desktop issues when trying to run 2 or more Nvidia GPUs, and enable fan control or overclocking.
The desktop crashes multiple times, and I was forced to revert the nice looking 19 back to 18(.04 as 18.10 is no longer supported).
16.04 all the way. It's the most stable and reliable Linux distro I've used to date, and it marks the point where I switched to using Linux full time and started recommending it to others. It works out of the box on every computer I've tried installing it on, and things like wireless and suspend work every time. For some reason newer distros can't manage this. I don't know what changed, but hopefully things gets sorted out before 16.04 goes out of support.
16.04 global app menu HUD ????
Too important of a release to me due to it being my introduction to the land of Linux
12.04
8.04 hardy heron
12.04 LTS
10.04 was the last Ubuntu that worked and felt like Linux should.
Since then, Canonical has been distracted by init systems, different GUIs, screwing with resolv.conf, snaps and network configs. I won't fault them for all thei Really wish Canonical would stop pushing alpha code like netplan, wayland, systemd ( which had another remote exploit announced last week). Why would any init system be involved with a remote exploit?!
Snaps are stillborn. The team won't accept the idea that shared documents won't be in a HOME directory. We need a way to override the locked down file access locations. Workflows between different programs have been broken due to snaps as well. snaps need to be deployed in a "watch and see" mode that captures how users do things, then allow the user to accept working settings later to lock down access. At this point, sudo apt purge snapd is the only solution.
10.04 didn't have any of those issues. It worked as a Linux system should. config files worked as expected. No surprises. It was a phenomenal LTS.
10.10 all the way, the final good version of Ubuntu before unity ruined it :(
Bring back 1604 bt far the best irs the only release i never had to reinstall had all the features needed apon installation haven't been completely satisfied since
10.10 Netbook Edition was bulletproof.
