Linux ubuntu all version

Ubuntu Wiki

Ubuntu Flavors are a distinct experience relative to the «plain» Ubuntu Desktop, whether it be a particular desktop environment, a specific intended use case, or a particular theme. The difference between the flavors are in the set of packages installed.

However, all flavors of Ubuntu use the same repository for downloading updates, so the same set of packages is available regardless of which flavor you have installed. In other words, everything that’s available on Ubuntu is available on all the other flavors. Similarly, all flavors share a core set of packages with stock Ubuntu.

In these two ways, each flavor is Ubuntu, while also being unique relative to it.

New flavors have to go through a process to become a Recognized Flavor.

These are not to be confused with unofficial derivatives.

Flavors

All of these flavors distribute installation images that are nothing more than curated groups of software packages to be installed over the Ubuntu base, producing unique computing experiences for users. The images remain in the form of ISO files sized to fit CD/DVD optical media, but are increasingly stored on USB flash drives or served via the internet. Each image is constructed from a master file listing the packages to be included, known as a seed, with robust tools that allow anyone to replicate them using a program called germinate.
