Ubuntu Unity aka Ubuntu 16.04 It's not really a different Ubuntu flavor but rather the older Ubuntu version. Ubuntu Unity used to be the default interface till 2016. In 2017, Ubuntu dropped Unity as the default desktop in favor of GNOME. The following old releases of Ubuntu are available: Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger). Oct 28, 2020 Version: Supported Packages: Start of ESM # of Years: End of Life: Ubuntu 18.04 ESM: To be announced: April 2023: 5 years: April 2028: Ubuntu 16.04 ESM: To be announced: April 2021. I want to create VMs of old versions of Ubuntu, such as 10.10, 8.04, 4.10 and more. But how do I download old versions of Ubuntu? My main idea is The Wayback Machine. On Ubuntu, here is how to downgrade package to previous version. Users can easily downgrade a package in Linux Ubuntu; install older version of package on the system. Downgrade Package To Previous Version. Before you begin to downgrade a package to its previous version, you must list all the available versions of the specific package.
