Regarding the JVM, we recommend running the latest version of JDK 1.8 with the G1 garbage collector: http://docs.confluent.io/current/kafka/deployment.html#jvm
And yes, Kafka does run on Ubuntu 16.04, too. (Confluent provides .deb packages [1] for Apache Kafka if you are looking for these to install Kafka on Ubuntu.)
