Ubuntu used to be animals!

It still is. There's an animal "codename" and a number for all releases.

So many memories, dapper drake with the LTS. For some reason I used karmic koala which is 9.10 until 12. I played thousands of hours of minecraft and ksp because other that valve games those where like the only two that ran naively without fucking around with the abomination that wine was at the time.

Sorry, that was the best link I could find at that moment. Since the word "ubuntu" means something like "humanity towards others," Canonical really leaned into that concept with their tagline "Linux for human beings" in the early days. This involved shipping some controversial wallpaper images and using less risque shots from the same photo shoot on things like the CD-ROM cover.
