Ubuntu pages
I have been using Ubuntu LTS versions are many years after abandoning CentOS and Fedora. Soon Ubuntu 26.04 will be released (April 23, 2026). I usually wait till the 26.04.1 is released. Let someone else work out the bugs. I have been watching videos on Linus Torvalds. He uses Fedora. Ubuntu is known for being stable. Fedora is cutting edge. I don’t use GUI based Linux. Everything I have is server CLI based. I don’t mind working on the command line. As you go through by pages, you will see CLI based commands. Even in the Ubuntu setup, I will switch from automatic DHCP to manually addressing IPv4. IPv6 uses the mac address and FFFE EUI-64 format for addressing.
Why Ubuntu over CentOS or Fedora?
Ubuntu LTS are long supported releases. Supported till May 2029. With Ubuntu Pro support is April 2034 on break/fix. The community is huge. So finding solutions to issues is much easier. I am in no rush in upgrading to the new LTS version. In the past, I waited over 2 years. Kernel 6.8 is stable for my HP Z840 workstation.
