Ubuntu is one of the most popular Linux distribution that is devolped by Canonical, primarily due to its ease of use. It is probably the number one choice for newcommers to Linux. The server version is also one of the most popular versions used in internet servers today. What is a Linux distribution? It is a particular version of the Linux operating system which was created in 1991 by Linus Torvalds that has been customized by a company or group of people. Each distibution has it's own partucular customizations. Linux can be an excellent, and free, alternative to Windows and Macos. In the past, it was true that Linux was mostly for the tech savy who could use the commandline and didn't need applications to accomplish their tasks. No longer! Today there are over 60,000 applications and climbing in a huge array of categories. Need the basics? Email, calendar, the ability to open and save Microsoft Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)? Not only are these available but they come installed by default. Need modern browsers? The latest version of Firefox is installed right from the start and if you don't like that, Cromium, Brave, Opera, and Chrome are all available. Password managers like Keepass and Bitwarden, email from Thunderbird, and much more. Today if you can't get it done under Linux, you probably don't need to get it done. Feed your artistic nature with GNU photo editing, 3D packages such as Freecad and Blender, video players like VLC, converts like handbrake and matroska-tools. That's right, you can edit 16bit color images and 4k videos, all while designing 3D objects to print on your 3D printer. This wasn't possible just a few years ago, but it is today!
