Ubuntu is a popular distribution of the Linux operating system that is based on open source software. It is one of the most popular and easily accessible Linux options for users around the world.
My acquaintance with this distribution was in my teenage years, when I found a forum on the Internet with information about goods that were sent to you by mail for free. It was an interesting experience. I received several telephone directories of European cities, samples of various sleepy goods. But the best thing that came to me was the CD from Ubuntu 8.04. It was then that I became interested in what software is.
Still remember the default desktop picture:
It's a shame, but after a while Ubuntu stopped sending free discs because some fool ordered a bunch of discs and posted a video on the network in which he throws them out of the window.
After some time, when the speed and price of the Internet changed for the better, the need for CD/DVD disappeared. Now ISO image can be downloaded in minutes from the official website of Ubuntu. But it was a cool initiative to distribute free software.
Ubuntu was developed with the goal of creating a free, open and simple operating system that could replace existing commercial operating systems. It enables users to use and configure their computers with complete freedom, and has an active community of developers who support and improve the system.
One of the key features of Ubuntu is its simple and intuitive interface, which allows even new users to quickly master the system. It has a large number of popular programs and applications, such as office packages, web browsers, multimedia tools and others, which allows you to use the computer in full.
In addition, Ubuntu is actively supported by a development community that provides system updates, support, and security. Users can receive software updates, including patch security and new features, allowing the system to remain up-to-date.
Ubuntu is also used in a variety of fields, including home computers, laptops, servers, cloud infrastructures, and embedded systems. It offers multifunctionality, stability and security, making it a choice for a wide range of users.
Please note that Ubuntu stops supporting the 32-bit architecture and focuses on the 64-bit .
It used to be very difficult to run games on Ubuntu. In recent years, this has changed for the better.
For work I switched to Mac years ago. But Ubuntu Desktop installed on mom's laptop. She was an office worker for a while and used Windows. She was more than happy with Ubuntu being installed on her home laptop. Virus type problems have disappeared.
Ubuntu is an operating system where all the basic functionality for a regular user is available. And for a professional user, it will not be a problem to pump something.
