Say it isn't so... gotta have my Ubuntu. What could replace it?

Hi, I'm 61 and I hope I never stop learning. I went to a VMware class and virtualized most of our servers then got in a motorcycle accident. Took me 6 moths to get back to work but they saved my job. We're now into VDI. I like new tech. I rooted my Android phone and Gtab tablet. Don't know if this goes for others but I'm eager to take on new technology.
