Bug #1 for Ubuntu was listed in 2004 as Microsoft Windows being on the majority of retail computers. They’ve decided that bug is closed with Ubuntu’s dominance in cloud servers and the increasing availability of “factory” Ubuntu from multiple major laptop OEMs. On most laptops, Ubuntu “just works”, with the exception of just-released laptop new generation hardware. A large number of spinoff Linux distros are based on Ubuntu, which is based on Debian. Over the years, Ubuntu has been a relatively stable but more aggressively updated distro than Debian stable. Like any distro, there are bugs in a few of the large number of packages made available by Ubuntu.
