And if you need more specific Ubuntu flavors, we still have Ubuntu 17.10 in i686 for Kylin, Studio, Mate and Budgie

How do you say this is the most interesting release? Users have missed the chance to have Unity in the future, Canonical projects have failed, have folded down on Gnome Shell for desperation, and do you think this is positive?
When it finishes an open source project I'm never happy ... the only good thing is that I've discovered openSUSE and Plasma 5!
Ubuntu and Canonical have lost credibility, users switch to other distributions.

interesting != good

All he's saying is that a lot has changed. Wayland is in, Unity is out, Gnome is in, and the 32-bit desktop image is out. Mostly, I think he's reacting to the look & feel stuff. And he did say "arguably".

Yeah, I remember I quite liked it too when I used it. I just haven't had a reason to run it in years, since KDE seems to run fine on virtually anything. At least when you don't hit a bug or something

I'm a pacifist, I don't hit bugs

Actually, the only downtime you get on Windows is because of updates. But that's exactly when you have to reboot Linux too.

Stop kidding. Windows 10 does bsod more often than Windows 7. Furthermore, Windows updates are quite often a culprit.

Eject the disc drive while it's reading and there you go. Instant blue screen. Try it.

Nope. Just tried. I remember last seeing that particular way for BSOD in Win98.

Do you mean a floppy drive, a USB memory stick, a CD/DVD/Bluray?

Or do you mean pulling the SATA cable off of the primary system drive while it's running? I wouldn't be surprised if that did cause a blue screen.
