20th anniversarry of Ubuntu and 20 years of Desktop Linux
I am a member of the Ubuntu Japanese LoCo team, where I contribute by addressing issues related to the Japanese language and providing translations. Professionally, I work as an embedded engineer in Japan, specializing in the development and optimization of Linux-based embedded systems. In addition to my engineering work, I also author a commercial series related to Ubuntu, sharing insights and expertise with a broader audience.

It has been 20 years since Ubuntu was introduced in 2004. During these two decades, the adoption of Linux in the desktop field has become more active, and nowadays many users use Linux regularly not only on servers but also on desktops.
For example, according to StatCounter, the share of Desktop Linux, which was 0.64% in January 2009, grew to 4.44% in July 2024, an approximately 8 times increase over 15 years.
At this rate, it is expected that in 400 years, all desktop OS will be Linux.
In this talk, I will introduce the 20-year history of Ubuntu Desktop and look back on the trends, especially in the Japanese environment.
