Trusty

Trusty refers to a specific version of the Ubuntu Linux operating system, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. LTS stands for Long Term Support, meaning that Ubuntu 14.04 LTS received security updates and maintenance for a significantly extended period compared to standard Ubuntu releases. This extended support was crucial for enterprises and users who prioritized stability and reliability over having the latest software features. Trusty was first released in April 2014 and its standard support period concluded in April 2019. However, Extended Security Maintenance (ESM) was available for paying customers, further prolonging its usability. The release of Trusty marked a significant milestone in Ubuntu's LTS cycle, and many systems remained on this version for years due to its stability and the extensive software ecosystem that had matured around it. While no longer supported by Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, its legacy is acknowledged within the Linux community.
