This is from 5.10. Warty 4.10 was the first Linux distro I actually installed, after only using a Knoppix live CD previously. I miss those days. A lot has improved for Linux but it seemed like Ubuntu was onto something. Then in 2010s they lost their way.

They were unbearable the second they started sending every search request to am*z*n in 2012. They enshitified their OS years before Microsoft.

    I've been (mainly) using Linux since 1996, but I can still acknowledge that Windows 7 (which was still recent in 2012) was peak Windows. As far as I know, Microsoft didn't put ads in their start menu until Windows 10, a decade after Canonical.
