See where Ubuntu has made its mark


Authentically open source

Ubuntu is a story of many hands. Its transparency and community ethos has made it the successful project it is today. With a foundation of fully public code and an evolving repository of community knowledge, Ubuntu is the natural choice for collaboration and innovation. When you choose Ubuntu as your OS, you're building on the work of thousands of contributors.

A single platform for the entire compute spectrum

Nimble. Versatile. Straightforward.

Ubuntu offers you a unified Linux OS experience across desktops, servers, IoT and public clouds.

Choose the OS that is certified with leading hardware OEMs, giving you the peace of mind that Ubuntu has been rigorously tested to give you the best experience.

Setting the standard for security and support

Ubuntu is secure by design and dependable in a fast-paced security environment.


Security in-depth, at the platform level

Ubuntu gives you a secure platform to build on from the ground up. We use available hardware roots of trust, such as TPMs, for full disk encryption. Combined with hardening for the early boot process, and Apparmor for confinement of applications, we ensure a reduced attack surface and security throughout your stack.

Ubuntu also supports the latest confidential computing technology, helping you protect data while it’s being processed.


A release cadence you can depend on

Benefit from always knowing when updates are coming: an interim release every 6 months to test the latest features and a new Long Term Support (LTS) version every 2 years. With Ubuntu, you know where you stand.


Stability through long term support

Our LTS releases are supported for 5 years as standard, allowing you to focus more on innovation and less on maintenance. Upgrade to Pro to get a total of 12 years in expanded security maintenance.


A single subscription for security and compliance

Ubuntu gives you secure access to the widest open source software library. Reduce your average CVE exposure from 98 days to 1 on average and comply with the most stringent security regulations.

With an Ubuntu Pro subscription, you receive enhanced security and automation tools for compliance and hardening.

Why innovators prefer Ubuntu

"Moving to a Debian-based OS might require a change of mindset, but I think Ubuntu might be the right choice for all businesses that need to migrate off CentOS. I can't think of any other alternative that is as production- ready and as smooth."

DevOps Lead, Pentera

"Some deals would have been challenging to close without Ubuntu Core. Ubuntu is a brand that enterprises trust. Selling to them would be much harder if we were using a less well-known OS or if we'd rolled our own."
