Announcing Flavor Renaming

I have been called back from my one-week break to announce the re-naming and repurposing of some of the longest-tenured Ubuntu flavors.

This was inspired by and done at the subliminal request of Thomas Ward (Community Council, Technical Board, Developer Memebership Board, Chalk Board, Cork Board, Ring Council, Mad Hatter) who, during every video meeting, has referred to various Ubuntu flavors by their first initial plus “Ubuntu”. We took this to mean he was not happy with the current naming scheme surrounding these old flavors. Well, Thomas, your wish is our command.

Introducing…

Kay Ubuntu

Every Kiss Begins With Kay

In the United States, we have a certain jeweler called Kay Jewelers. Kay Ubuntu will be repurposed for jewelery design. Still running the KDE desktop, it is now the shiniest of flavors.

Ed Ubuntu

A Horse is a Horse Of Course

Mr. Ed was a talking horse in early television. Now Ed Ubuntu will be around to help you speak to animals using a breakthrough AI engine. If you could talk to the animals, just imagine it! Chatting with a chipanzee?

Ex Ubuntu

The Flavor That Is Your Ex

Everybody gets into bad relationships, and Ex Ubuntu is the one you tried to divorce but you were never actually married to. As such, it’s part of your life in weird ways. Maybe you had a child together? Who knows. Either way, they’re living rent-free in your head now.

El Ubuntu

The Spiciest of Flavors

El Ubuntu, literally translated as “The Ubuntu”, will be exclusively targeting our Spanish-speaking audience. Culturally, it will be rebranded with pictures from Spain, Mexico, Argentina, and other wonderful countries!


We hope you enjoy this revamping. Remember to contribute to your favorite!

But I prefer the Stainless Steel Edition for extra stability (or more segfault fun?) …

We are considering renaming the Ubuntu Stainless Steel Edition to S Ubuntu – resembling the S from Superman.

Kay Ubuntu? Er… Jewelry?! Does that mean we’re getting back that sorely-missed and absolutely delightful Cube Effect? I, for one, would pay a hefty premium for that.

Funny names! “El Ubuntu” sounds great targeting Spanish speaking users.
