<P> Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver is a long term support version and will be released on 26 April 2018 . </P> <P> On 5 April 2017 Shuttleworth announced that this release, a year away at that time, will abandon the Unity desktop and employ the GNOME 3 desktop instead, as Canonical moves away from its ambitions to produce a unified mobile and desktop operating system and concentrates on desktop, cloud computing and IoT platforms instead . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Version </Th> <Th> Code name </Th> <Th> Release date </Th> <Th_colspan="2"> Supported until </Th> <Th> Initial kernel version </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Desktops </Th> <Th> Servers </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 4.10 </Td> <Td> Warty Warthog </Td> <Td> 2004 -
