The article refers to the popularity of Linux as an operating system.
One of the excellent features of Ubuntu is that it is always free of charge; no licensing fees are imposed. It can be downloaded, used, and shared with others at no cost at all. Moreover, a new desktop and server version are released every six months. Therefore, users are ensured that they have access to the latest and greatest applications that the open-source world has to offer.
Security is also a top priority for Ubuntu. Security updates are provided for free, for at least 18 months, for both desktop and server versions. Ubuntu is designed to be very user-friendly; it has everything the user needs in a single CD, which provides a complete working environment.
Furthermore, Ubuntu's graphical installer makes setting it up easy and fast. A standard installation should take less than 25 minutes, and once installed, the system is immediately ready-to-use. On the desktop, Ubuntu has a full set of productivity, internet, drawing, and graphics applications, including games. On the server, users get precisely what they need to get up and running, without any excess software.
Overall, Ubuntu is a reliable and robust operating system that is not only user-friendly but also secure. With its broad selection of applications, it has proven to be an excellent alternative to other more expensive operating systems.
