   Do I know anyone working on #Ubuntu?

   Whenever I look up Ubuntu LTS this is always the first result:

   https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS

   It hasn’t been updated for 8 years, isn’t responsive and doesn’t really help me find what I’m looking for which is the latest LTS release of Ubuntu.

     @johnefrancis that’s good to know but that page that comes up when I search “ubuntu lts” should probably have something on it that’s not from 2017

     @magicfab not sure I do. I just want to know what the latest LTS version is and this page is unhelpful.

     @mattl I think you want "Ubuntu Wiki Releases"

     @johnefrancis I don’t even know what that is. Search engine? A distro?

     @mattl In hindsight, it's obvious that they should've used a temporary wiki.

     @stinerman @johnefrancis weirdly if I go to the results page I get that too but the suggestion is that wiki page.

     DDG is the best choice of the list of choices I have.

     @mattl @johnefrancis engine. Using Startpage (another engine) I get this page as the first result.

     @stinerman @johnefrancis I guess I’m curious where iOS gets that page from. I guess from Apple’s own secret not so secret search thing. It’s not AI as they define it now as my phone is too old.

     @mattl @johnefrancis

     Interesting. Yeah they should probably maintain that page, but I'm not seeing the same results. Weird.

     @kittylyst this is searching on my phone so it’s probably coming from Apple’s own search engine I guess.

     @mattl I am fairly certain it's there. Ctrl-F "LTS" : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

     @magicfab that’s a different page though.

     Also Ubuntu wiki pages really could use a responsive stylesheet in 2025 :/
