So while working on remembering how the human body is supposed to move, I realized something that will haunt me forever as an Ubuntu user and remix developer. I come here with a simple question for Canonical, why do the x.10 releases almost ALWAYS have the better names?

Accident? Because the first whole Ubuntu release was in October (4.10)? Or am I just looking to hard into this because I am 99% sure someone at Debian who knew I finally got a package working stole my nervous system while I was asleep, and I woke up at 4:40 AM with pains comparable to being shot in the liver while giving birth for 2 hours packed into 5 minutes?

Who cares! Let's just prove x.10 names are better than the x.04 names.

Note: This is all 100% personal preference and just meant to be done for fun! Don't take anything I say seriously.

Let's set the scene

Ubuntu has a place where they have all the code names listed in a nice neat little thing! Using this I will confirm my theory by writing out every x.10 release name and every x.04 release name in a table which I may or may not have put below.

Descending by oldest to newest, with a preference for that 10 / 04 release pair.

04 Preference Count: 6
10 Preference Count: 11

I will reference every year by the 10's title (adjective) because 4.10 came first so they get the name setup. Because before why we talk about why my preference, I need to talk about the distros themselves too.

Why?

The 10 names more often than not make sense, and only twice did 04 win because it was "better" (Natty and Raring) while the rest won because just slightly easier to remember/spell.

This is scientific proof that Canonical prefers the October releases.

... took me an hour to write this mess.
