Lots of single sentences, poorly structured, although reasonably well referenced. Might be salvageable if somebody wants to take it on. Jamesx12345 13:43, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There hasn't been any significant progress, so I'm delisting it. The article really needs one person to bring it together to a coherent whole, as it is there is a lot of redundant information and a large number of single sentence paragraphs. Jamesx12345 15:09, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

New Ubuntu Logo, not yet updated[edit]

https://ubuntu.com/ https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/03/ubuntu-has-a-brand-new-logo

Not updating the logo yet, as neither the home page nor the brand guidelines have been updated. https://design.ubuntu.com/brand/ubuntu-logo/

Leaving this here for the moment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:ce:6f13:c400:92e:440b:1ad3:a84e (talk)

PIE and buffer overflow protection[edit]

These were relevant in 2010, but nowadays seem to be used pretty much everywhere? --Gert7 (talk · contribs) 23:37, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Primacy of name is wrong[edit]

As the article states, the Etymology of Ubuntu software is derived from Ubuntu philosophy, which precedes it by 20 to 40 years. It is therefore counterintuitive that the software is given the primacy Ubuntu title, rather than the philosophy it is named after. Babakathy (talk) 17:55, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
