Canonical is looking to eliminate use of its Ubuntu ISO Tracker that has been relied on the past 15+ years and in turn 30+ releases. Their ISO Tracker has grown unreliable and difficult to maintain. But without any proper solution ready, for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS the ISO Tracker may be replaced by a temporary spreadsheet and Discourse thread

Wait, they expect people to start installing Linux by creating a Google or Discord account? I have to read this article now, because the title and subtitle are hinting at this.

Ok damn, what a misleading name!

The Ubuntu ISO Tracker has long been used by the Ubuntu QA team and the community for tracking the Ubuntu Linux ISOs and their pass/fail results and other build/testing related information

It's an ISO test result tracker.

I thought it was the tracker for the torrent downloads and I was like can't we just create magnet links?

Result tracking for the isos makes more sense.
