Which version do you use?

[Linux_junkie]

Hello,

As I am currently still using Ubuntu 10.04 and with other versions still being supported by Canonical I was wondering what versions other people are (still) using.

[Dragonbite]

For right now, I'm stuck with something pre-12.04 becuase of the errors I get when trying to run it via Live USB. But that is for another (support) thread after this weekend.

[jerrrys]

Got 12o4 installed, but won't be giving up 10o4 till 12o4o1 comes out I think.

[isaacj87]

Kubuntu 11.04 64-bit (with KXStudio packages) on my studio comp
Kubuntu 12.04 64-bit on my personal laptop
Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit on my developer laptop (System76)


I started with Ubuntu 7.04; moved over to openSUSE for a couple of years; had a brief love affair with Fedora; and ultimately returned back to Ubuntu. I really like the package availability on Ubuntu, but I do like RPM very much.

[Xourii]

12.04 desktop. I'm already hyped for 12.10.

[PaulW2U]

Kubuntu, Lubuntu and Ubuntu. All 12.04.

I always use the latest version, often before it's officially released (alpha/beta version).

[synaptix]

12.04 x86_64 desktop.

[KiwiNZ]

12.04 Desktop
11.04 Server

[IWantFroyo]

12.04 amd64 Ubuntu.

[codingman]

I'm using 12.10 but if you count that as 12.04, i voted for that one.

[trekrem]

The poll is missing 10.10 by the way. That was a good version!

[synaptix]

The poll is missing 10.10 by the way. That was a good version!

OP only listed versions that are still supported.

[trekrem]

OP only listed versions that are still supported.

Oh I see, thanks! (I guess that's what happens when you reply before you've had your first cup of tea for the day! D'oh!)

[GameX2]

12.04 LTS is awesome ! :D

[wolfen69]

Ubuntu 12.04-64 on my laptop, and Lubuntu 12.04-32 on my netbook.

[pqwoerituytrueiwoq]

10.04
doing throe test of 12.04 bore replacing 10.04 and going to to be putting 12.04 on my laptop tomorrow since there are only 4 min left today

[Linux_junkie]

I'm using 12.10 but if you count that as 12.04, i voted for that one.

I didn't even know that 12.10 was available never mind supported by Canonical. So have they already started development on 12.10? Daft question really.

[phendrome]

Lubuntu 12.04 (i686 version) on my netbook.

[lisati]

I have a machine with 6.06 on it, but that one is seldom used.... :D

[Vietnams]

I have just up to 12.04. I haven't much experience. But I think It is great!

[wewantutopia]

9.10 Desktop

[forrestcupp]

Surprise, surprise! Most people are using the latest desktop version.

[Dragonbite]

Surprise, surprise! Most people are using the latest desktop version.

And the previous LTS version (10.04) is #2.

[CK000]

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx


I do not envisage ever updating further as I personally do not like the unity desktop environment.

[Stanwilliamsmusic]

The poll is missing 10.10 by the way. That was a good version!

I agree!

I have been using Ubuntu since Dapper Drake, and Maverick was my fav. version.
I had a couple issues w/ Lucid and Audigy sound cards, and just yesterday I downgraded my Precise 12.04 , (formatted over it).

I had to because Precise 12.04 had more errors and crashes than I could tolerate, and almost constant nearly 100% CPU usage even with nothing open.
Although It may be ok if I bought a brand new computer for it?, but I just gave my new computer away to my sister.

The box I tried Precise on only had 2 GB RAM and an AMD64 3700+ though, but,
I have Fedora 16 and openSUSE 12.1 running on it great though, SUSE even ran good with kde desktop from the live CD, though I installed the Gnome 3x desktop for it, (still haven't fixed that) can't put anything on desktop with that so... I will install a better desktop after while, or tomorrow maybe, but Natty works ok on it.

I Still have two Maverick 10.10 installs, and still use them, for some stuff, but like I said earlier, 10.10 was my fav. Ubuntu version of all time (so far), so I couldn't vote in the above poll.

[chugtairizwan]

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 .

[Dragonbite]

I just installed 10.04 LTS via Wubi on my laptop.

I didn't go with 12.04 because this system's purpose is to run a web server and internet bridge from others' coming through the wire and connecting to the local wi-fi for internet.

While I don't remember the details of how to do it right now, I am pretty sure I documented it from when I did the same thing last year (w/10.04). So rather than risk uncertainty with 12.04 (since I'm running this Saturday) I went with the tried and true.

Chances are I'll replace it with 12.04 LTS for next year(s) when I have a chance to tinker with it and make sure it works as I want it to.

[CharlesA]

Was using Lucid up until a week ago when I decided to do a reinstall to clean out some of the junk I have installed on my server and went with Precise.

So far, so good.

[bcaperton75]

I use 11.04 desktop_x86, as much remote- and terminal- connections as I use, and as many breakages since this version, it really is my only choice without reverting to 10.x:KS:guitar:

[Cavsfan]

I am using 10.04 Lucid Lynx and love it. I will switch when 12.04.1 comes out on July 19th or maybe later.
10.04 is supported until April 2013, so there is no rush.

[Old_Grey_Wolf]

For the machines I have that run *buntu, I use the LTS releases for production computers/VMs. I install the other versions of *buntu on test machines. I currently have one production machine running Ubuntu 12.04 with the Xfce DE installed. After 12.04.1 is released I will migrate my other *buntu 10.04.4 machines to 12.04.1; however, I don't know what DE I will decide on using.

[Ceiber Boy]

I'm pleasently supprised that 12.04 holds the majority share, this is in stark contrast to propietory operating systems, it's also good to see in light of the controversy concerning Unity.

[Linuxratty]

Not decided what to choose next,aside from it not being Unity or Gnome3, so still on 10.10.

[robbie 348]

Still using 10.04 netbook remix. I guess I'll have to update sometime soon though.

[whatthefunk]

it's also good to see in light of the controversy concerning Unity.

But the poll makes no distinction between DEs. For all we know, every one using 12.04 might be running LXDE.

[georgelappies]

12.04 - Unity edition

[sobakasu]

I'm back on Mint 9/Ubuntu 10.04

[Benjamin Schizophrenia]

11.10 desktop

[viperdvman]

Actually had to select two in this poll, as I run two computers. My desktop is currently running 11.10, but not for much longer as I'm going to do a clean install of 12.04 very soon after I repartition my Linux spaces.

My netbook is already running 12.04, having performed an upgrade rather than a clean install. So far it's working pretty okay. Haven't run into any post-upgrade problems yet.

And both run regular Ubuntu.

[Hylas de Niall]

10.04.04 desktop on my ....um ...desktop, and 12.04 on my netbook and laptop.

[Linux_junkie]

But the poll makes no distinction between DEs. For all we know, every one using 12.04 might be running LXDE.

I just wanted to know what version people were using not bothered about which DE they are using.

With the recent release of 12.04 I wanted to see how popular the previous (supported) versions were (are).

For those wanting to know what version of Gnome people are using I have also created another poll. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1970526&highlight=Gnome+poll

[CircuitLord]

I'm currently using Ubuntu 12.04. I'm just about to switch over to Xubuntu today though.

[scouser73]

Using Ubuntu 12.04 and loving it.

[VE6EFR]

12.04 LTS. Brand new install and relatively new user. I tried 9.04 when it was released a few years ago but found that Ubuntu didn't quite do what I needed it to do. But I have recently decided to try 12.04 LTS and found that it now works just as well if not better than windows 7 on my machine. Now if only I could convince the rest of the family to give Ubuntu a try on their computers...

[MasterNetra]

Using 12.04 (using Gnome Classic instead of Unity though) and probably won't change until the next LTS. I'll probably poke around the development releases via live-cd though.

[DogMatix]

12.04 on desktop & netbook with Unity.

[MadsRH]

Where's the Windows 7 button in this poll? :lolflag:

[MasterNetra]

Where's the Windows 7 button in this poll? :lolflag:

Didn't realize Windows 7 was a version of Ubuntu. :P

[Cavsfan]

Didn't realize Windows 7 was a version of Ubuntu. :P


There of course is none, however I don't understand how MadsRH could still be testing Karmic Koala. :p

[MadsRH]

*LOL* I'll update my profil right away! Thanks for the heads up :)

[ArtLaForge]

12.10 I'm getting pretty old, hope I'm still around when 13.04 hits the toolchain.:p

[viperdvman]

Well, my vote's inaccurate now. I now run Ubuntu 12.04 on both computers :D

[Cavsfan]

I see many reasons why I believe it is a good idea to wait on 12.04.1 to come out on August 23rd. I have jumped in to fast before
and learned my lesson.

Just wondering if at that time it would be good to just do an upgrade or a clean install from 10.04.
I have read where it will be presented to me in an update when 12.04.1 is released.
I have done both but, ended up doing a clean install after an upgrade.
My entire Ubuntu OS takes up < 30GB.

[Cavsfan]

Well, my vote's inaccurate now. I now run Ubuntu 12.04 on both computers :D

You should update your profile as it says you are on 11.10. Just thought I would mention that.

[-jay-]

i went back to 10.04 i'll wait & see how 12.10 & 13.04 are before i make the step forward

[Dragonbite]

I have a friend who has stuck with 10.04 LTS for all of this time, and after trying 12.04 LTS is happily upgrading all of his systems.

I've gone to Xubuntu 12.04 which is pretty nice but I suspect I'll really need to try 12.04 w/Unity for all its goodies though I cannot run it live due to the PAE part in the kernel (Xubuntu and Lubuntu are keeping this out since it effects older systems comprise a fair amount of their users).

[HansKisaragi]

I'm using 12.04 Desktop 64bit ~w~

[deltaRedge]

I'm using 11.10 since Last year, but I was wondering, should I upgrade it to 12.04? I've read few people having trouble with Pangolin, no?

[Cavsfan]

I've been trying out Linux Mint 13 Maya Mate on another partition which is basically 12.04.
It even has ubuntu and precise listed in many or most of the repository names.
I'd rather poke myself in the eye with a fork than switch over to that!
I may just hang onto Ubuntu 10.04 until it nears EOL in 2013.
I don't like Unity or Gnome 3 either one. I hope it improves immensely.
IMO Lucid is the best thing Ubuntu ever put out.

[daimaru]

it seems software is going down the drain.. its getting worse by the minute. new desktop environments seem to cater more and more to the non power user...
I never understood people that use ICON view as their default in explorer/window manager

using xubuntu now.. Xfce 4.10 seems to be good alternative to old gnome 2.x , before all that unity / gnome shell etc crap

[MG&TL]

I never understood people that use ICON view as their default in explorer/window manager


...I never understood people that use a file manager. ;)

Jokes aside, I have a laptop touchpad. Precise clicking is difficult, to say the least. So I much prefer stroking, keyboard shortcuts, and yes, big icons.

[HalfNote5]

Hello,

As I am currently still using Ubuntu 10.04 and with other versions still being supported by Canonical I was wondering what versions other people are (still) using.


12.04 Xubuntu on the new desktop, Lucid on the lappy, and (Ahem) Feisty Fawn on the SSH server.:tongue:

[ranger12]

Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop
Ubuntu 12.04 Server

[Lucradia]

I don't use any, because I don't like the default Ubuntu variation.

[kagashe]

Changed from 10.04 to 12.04 last week.

[Linux_junkie]

I upgraded to Xubuntu 11.10 last weekend because I wanted to set up my HP printer and under 10.04 it wouldn't use both ink cartridges at the same time so thinking that a newer version would be improved I upgraded only to find that the printer driver would still only use the colour cartridge even when printing black. Now I have it setup as a mono printer because most documents I print only use black anyway.

With support for 10.04 coming to an end April 2013 and with the large amount of updates I would need to get it to how I had it before removing it, I'll stick with 11.10. Might upgrade to 12.10 because I like the look of XFCE 4.10.

[Cavsfan]

Trying out Xubuntu 12.04 on a separate partition and it's looking a lot better. I don't like Unity or the way it had the buttons on the left.
When I installed XCFE 4.10, it turned Ubuntu into Xubuntu with the buttons on the right like I am accustomed to.

If any one is interested, I updated the How to in my sig. to tri-boot Lucid, Precise and Windows 7.
And I know about the grub customizer but, this method is totally maintenance free once it is setup.
It doesn't matter when a kernel is added to either 'buntu. The menu does not change and never will have to be touched.

[sakamoto]

still on 10.04 \\:D/

[codingman]

still on 10.04 \\:D/

Then change your profile, it still shows 8.04...

[Cavsfan]

still on 10.04 \\:D/

Your profile says you are still on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. Jus saying...

[Old_Grey_Wolf]

sakamoto can't change the profile with only 11 beans.

[matt_symes]

Although it's not on the list, i am running 12.10 and loving it.

For a development version it's been pretty stable so far. There's always time for that to change though :p

[codingman]

Oh, I see, the rule was set after he changed it. #-o

[DingusFett]

I use 12.04 desktop on my PC, and have a VPS that came with 11.04

[alelinuxbsd]

Actually i use Ubuntu 10.04, but i recently installed Xubuntu 12.04 and today i installed even Ubuntu Server 12.04.

I installed today even Ubuntu Server because Xubuntu have only 3 years of support so if i can put a GUI (using a simply windows manager) on Ubuntu server (today i have make a question because i don't understand where i'm wrong) i can have 5 years of support.

[Cavsfan]

sakamoto can't change the profile with only 11 beans.

My bad. I thought I noticed he had more than 50.

[CharlesA]

Ubuntu desktop gets 5 years of support starting with 12.04.

If you are still running 10.04 and installed a GUI on the server base, then the desktop bits have 3 years of support, while the server bits have 5 years.

[kagashe]

Changed from 10.04 to 12.04 last week.

I am also happy to note that it will be supported for 5 years.

[Cavsfan]

I am now running Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity on a separate partition and it is going to take some getting used to.
Xubuntu was too much trouble.
But, I like it. It will make the transition from 10.04 to 12.04 easier.

[deadflowr]

12.04
12.04
12.04
12.04
All default normal Ubuntu.
One will upgrade to 12.10 when beta1 is release.
One is on the fence for upgrading after 12.10 final release.
And the other two will probably die with 12.04 installed(sorta old)

[Dragonbite]

Just tried 12.04 on a recent company cast-off computer (Core 2 Duo) and I have to say that on a powerful enough system and a large enough screen, Unity is almost comfortable for me. Tempting.

[ibozzie]

12.04 Desktop on my main comp, and 11.04 on an older laptop.
