Ubuntu is a free, full-featured Linux operating system with extensive support from both professional and community sources.
The Ubuntu community is built on the ideas of the Ubuntu Manifesto, which promotes the availability of free software tools that are usable by people in their local language and despite any disabilities. Additionally, Ubuntu is fundamentally different from traditional proprietary software because it gives you the freedom to customize and alter your software in whatever way you see fit.
The team behind Ubuntu goes above and beyond by publicly committing to its users with the following guarantees: Ubuntu will always be free of charge, it includes accessibility infrastructure to make it usable by as many people as possible, it's released regularly and predictably, and it's entirely committed to the principles of free and open source software development.
Ubuntu is also versatile and suitable for both desktop and server use. It supports Intel x86 (IBM-compatible PC), AMD64 (Hammer), and PowerPC (Apple iBook and Powerbook, G4 and G5) architectures.
As for software options, Ubuntu comes loaded with over 1,000 pieces of software, including standard desktop applications like word processing and spreadsheet programs, internet access applications, web server software, email software, programming languages and tools, and even several games.
Overall, Ubuntu is an excellent choice for those seeking a robust, customizable, and free operating system.
