Ubuntu is already immune to the 2038 bug. The Linux kernel even supports using a 64 bit time_t on 32 bit systems now. Of course some poorly written software could still be affected, but that’s not the fault of the kernel or operating system.

The 2038 bug will certainly cause problems in some embedded systems that still use a 32 bit time_t if they are still running by then.
