I’ve been seeding many Foss things for years but for some reason, people keep downloading Ubuntu versions that are more than 3 years old.

Any ideas why there is always someone downloading the ancient stuff, especially Ubuntu?

    Right, that sounds like a good guess. That makes sense, bots are everywhere.

      Some of it may be, but the fact that the LTS versions (20.04 & 22.04) are downloaded overwhelmingly more than the others seem to indicate it’s more intentional.

        Do old versions of Linux (Ubuntu in this instance) run better on really old hardware? That might be a reason if so.
