    Lubuntu site download links wrong

    UPDATE:
    Turns out I was at an unofficial site. The official site is:
    https://lubuntu.me/

    Or you can find all "flavors" at:
    https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours

    ORIGINAL POST:
    Not sure who to contact as it's not clear from the site, but when on the lubuntu site (lubuntu.net) the following happens....

    - Main page has links to x86 and x64 images of 19.10
    - Downloads page shows "Latest" as "19.04" and has links for x64 19.04 (but it should be 19.10)
    - About page has x86 18.04 and x64 19.10 (but they should both be 19.10)

    I think someone needs to go back through and correct these things, but again, not sure who to contact.

    Can someone tag or alert the right person (or tell me where to put this info)

    Thanks.

    lubuntu.net is an unofficial website.
    The official site is lubuntu.me.

    I always use http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ which has all the flavors.

    Not a technical support question. Thread moved to Ubuntu, Linux & OS Chat.

    @realmx2, this comes up fairly regularly. Here is a recent relevant thread: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2435678

    Which has a link to this earlier thread: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2360662 . There is a link in post #6 in that latter thread if you wish to know more about the unfortunate background to this.

    I'll add this.

    If you're unsure which site is official, it's best not to ask search engines, but seek answers from ubuntu.com itself as it's under Canonical/Ubuntu control. Searching there you'll eventually end up at

    https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours

    which will send you to the official web site for each flavor.

    You'll find other Lubuntu resources there too, such as http://manual.lubuntu.me/ (Lubuntu manual), https://discourse.lubuntu.me/ (forum), https://lubuntu.me/blog/ (blog) to development (phabricator) and other resources...

    Not trying to resurrect an older post, but for some reason I wasn't notified there had been responses. Thanks everyone, I see now that this isn't an official website, unfortunately when searching for "lubuntu" though it is first in the list. I've edited my first post with the answer most of you provided. Thanks again!!
