With the announcement of the Ubuntu Phone OS I'd like to know what phone (and tablet) models are supported at this time.  Note from foss &amp; Oli: We are making this the master question for all future "Will this work on &lt;insert random tablet/phone/device here&gt;?!" questions

So I've a feeling this is a very noob question but...   Is the only difference between flavors of Ubuntu the graphical interfaces and installed packages? Will they all be equally capable of running 3rd party programs, i.e. Chrome, Dropbox, Android Studio, Steam, etc?  I've a new PC on which I live tested Ubuntu 16.04 and it runs fine. However, I don't care for Unity and if Xubuntu/Lubuntu are lighter weight does that just mean I'm just sacrificing visuals for performance? Ubuntu 16.04 is the commercial release(?) so is its specific set-up just a little more reliable? Don't quite get Linux yet,there's so much choice I'm confused!

My office is going to buy a bulk number of desktop PCs (for developmental purposes).  I encouraged them to buy PCs without a pre-installed OS and then install Linux. My colleagues agree with me but they are not regular users of any Linux-based OS, so they want to choose a Linux OS which is best for our purposes and user-friendly and I suggested Ubuntu.  Now I want some data to support my position, what's so good about Linux and specifically Ubuntu?

I can buy Dell Latitude E7270 through my employer. It will come with Windows, but I would like to install Ubuntu (most likely 14.04). This model does not appear on the list of certified hardware, however. Does anyone know whether I should anticipate any problems with his laptop? Thanks!

I'm considering to upgrade my PC to Ubuntu v17.10, but I'm afraid because there's a BIOS issue has been confirmed for several different lines of Lenovo laptops also the reports of it affecting a few Acer, Toshiba and Dell laptops.  Should I upgrade or not? Also I can't download the Latest Ubuntu 17.10 ISO, the official website download link is currently discouraged.

What ubuntu applications provide support? (guides, how to's, status) Also, specifically, details on support for syncing music to iPhone's and iPod's with the latest OS version:   Can you sync music to apple devices using >iOS4? (iPhone &amp; iPod) What applications allow you to do this and how? (guides, how to's, status)    What has already been established is:   Apple does not support Linux and has no plans to.  provides some support, however it currently does not support music/video synchronization with devices &gt;iOS4. Go to  and scroll to the section titled "" to see if your device version is supported.

I was wondering what web browsers exist for Ubuntu; I don't want to use wine. I just want the ones written for Ubuntu.  I've never liked the Ubuntu Software Center because it never has all of the programs that I might want to install and therefore it's not perfect.   I just want a list of all the browsers for Ubuntu and their advantages.  Example:     Firefox: open source, and is pre-installed.    Please give me only one browser per answer or this will be confusing.

I am used to install and remove various operating systems in my PCs, even having several at a time.  Usually, to install a new OS means:   Burn the ISO to a CD/DVD/USB. Insert it. Boot. (Maybe you have to tweak a bit the BIOS first).   The only difference between PCs is its CPU architecture: x86, x86_64, arm, etc. Depending on that, you have to download one ISO or another. But I never have to worry about which graphic card, mouse, keyboard, screen, network card, etc. it has. The install wizard automatically detects that and installs the corresponding drivers. Sometimes, if they are not bundled, the installer also downloads them. Anyway, the key point here is that the ISO is always the same.  Now, many mobile OS come out: Ubuntu, Tizen, Firefox OS, the omnipresent Android, and why not any Linux ARM distro out there!. Sadly I have a random chinese mobile, that surely will never get official support in any platform, and I will never be able to test them.  But... Are not today's phones just tiny ARM PCs? Why is installation that different? Why do I always need to have a precompiled monolithic ROM specific for my phone model? Why not just a single "ISO" per OS for any phone that detects and installs automatically the needed drivers, just like always has been in the PC market?  Note: I understand the problem with privative drivers, but I remember Debian asking me for those when there were no libre alternatives at installation, and I could install them then or later. I suppose that workaround could be used in those cases too. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Ubuntu can't be installed on my system because of what the title says. This is because support Intel HD Graphics 530 was only just added in Linux kernel 4.3 and all versions of Ubuntu only have kernel versions up to 4.2 as of 15.10. My computer's processor is the new Intel Skylake 6600K if you need to know, everything else is generic. It has a UEFI BIOS motherboard. Help?

I've always been an Ubuntu lover, but the only thing that holds me back from installing ubuntu on my laptop is iTunes. I have an iPad and an iPod touch and managing them without itunes is almost next to impossible, mainly because of ios upgrades.  Is there any way out?

How can I find out if Ubuntu supports a particular hardware component, that is, if it works in Ubuntu?  I am going to put together a computer and I am choosing components.   How do I know if Ubuntu supports this or that motherboard, or this or that sound card, or this or that graphics card, etc? How do I know that there is no conflict in Ubuntu between this and that hardware component?   What resources are there to help with such situations?  I know that there are computers with Ubuntu pre-installed and that there are  for whole computers but this is not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for resources to find out support for particular hardware components and conflicts among particular hardware components.

I recently found out about Ubuntu for Android Multi-Core Smartphones and was digging around on the Ubuntu website as well as the Canonical website but have yet to find any information on if it available to the public yet ?  I am very interested to try it our on my Android and if it is available for the public am wondering where and how I can get a copy of "Ubuntu for Android" ?  If it is not available then perhaps someone can shed some lite on what sort of timeframe it will be until it is available to the general public?

Is there an easy way to check a notebook's hardware compatibility with ubuntu before you buy it?  I really don't want to buy a notebook home and find several bugs caused by the hardware.  I know that DELL has some notebooks which are pre-installed ubuntu12.04LTS, i.e. the new xps. But what about other notebooks? isn't there a way to quickly check a notebook's compatibility with ubuntu?  A way I can see is using a LiveCD/ubuntu stick and boot in ubuntu first, then run some tests. But the problem is: how to make these tests in a short time automatically??? and how can I check the hardware compatibility? I know that I can use lshw or hardinfo to get informations, but only having the information is not enough, there are still some possibilities that your hardware has a bug. For instance, Lenovo T410i's wireless driver has a bug which causes extremely low speed internet connection, I googled a lot and recompiled the driver to fix that bug. So this is the kind of situation I'm trying to avoid.  Any help is appreciated.
