October 20, 2019 is the 15th anniversary of the current most popular version of Linux. It all started with the official release of Ubuntu 4.10, which debuted as Ubuntu 4.10 ‘Warty Warthog’ on October 20, 2004. It is the first version of Ubuntu.

Ubuntu is an open source GNU/Linux operating system based on desktop applications. Ubuntu is based on Debian GNU/Linux and supports x86, x64, ARM and ppc architectures, built by a global professional development team (Canonical Ltd). Its name was derived from the word “ubuntu” in Zulu or Hausa in southern Africa, similar to the Confucian “benevolence” idea, meaning “humanity”, “my existence is because of the existence of everyone”, is a traditional African one. Cool!

Ubuntu has achieved good results since the release of “Warty Warthog”. Currently, the distribution is the most popular version of Linux in the market. According to data from w3tecs.com, Ubuntu leads the other Linux distributions with a market share of 37.4%, while Debian ranks second with 21.2%.
