Why we use Ubuntu 18.04 for our Dolibarr ERP? A free and open source operating system and Linux distribution. Offered in three official editions: Ubuntu Desktop for personal computers, Ubuntu Server for servers and the cloud, and Ubuntu Core for Internet of things devices. New releases occur every six months, while long-term support (LTS) releases occur every two years. All the editions can run on the computer alone, or in a virtual machine. Ubuntu is a popular operating system for cloud computing, with support for OpenStack. Ubuntu aims to be secure by default. User programs run with low privileges and cannot corrupt the operating system or other users' files.
