Ubuntu


Last Update: 2024-10-08 21:20 UTC

Ubuntu is a complete desktop Linux operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. The Ubuntu community is built on the ideas enshrined in the Ubuntu Manifesto: that software should be available free of charge, that software tools should be usable by people in their local language and despite any disabilities, and that people should have the freedom to customise and alter their software in whatever way they see fit. "Ubuntu" is an ancient African word, meaning "humanity to others". The Ubuntu distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world.

Popularity (hits per day): 12 months: 6 (1,149), 6 months: 5 (1,186), 3 months: 6 (1,106), 4 weeks: 5 (1,176), 1 week: 7 (1,066)

Average visitor rating: 7.71/10 from 293 review(s).

Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)
  • Select view:
  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

 Was not impressed with first release 24.04 but I installed 24.04.1 on a couple Dell PC’s a Inspiron laptop 12th gen Intel and a Optiplex 3060 8th gen Intel. At least on the surface since I do not really go much beyond running a couple web browsers and watch some YouTube so far have been pretty satisfied. Like any OS these days I have noticed a tick up in RAM from cold boot. Doing a little browser testing using Speedometer 3 I did notice a significant drop in score from around 17 with Windows 11 and Ubuntu 22.04 to 10 with Ubuntu 24.04.1. Firefox and Chrome don’t appear to be slower using them but I do notice more overall lagginess overall. Just get some micro pauses a lot opening apps and launching menus and folders. Could be that it needs a little more tweaking to get that better.

 I've been using Ubuntu off and on since 10.04. My kids cut their computing teeth on Ubuntu. One of them still uses it as exclusively as she can, the other one still uses it for steam games and Minecraft. I can't say I have especially challenging uses for it, but Ubuntu has always been easy to install, more free of annoying quirks than other distributions I've tried, and easy to use. I just upgraded from 22nd.04 to 24.04 on four machines without any significant issues. There's a tremendous amount of documentation and help out there when needed.

 seems to be a major version. it installed well on my 7840 amd ryzen laptop and is fluid without bugging. the possibility to benefit from the pro security updates is great, it's my personnal laptop at home and I'm really happy so far. only regret, the file manager can not be setup with 2 columns like the one of mint. Also I guess I'm using the wayland version, which runs without noticing the change. Maybe for developments, I'd like to stay with the deb version felt some bluriness with some of the snap versions. I don't know if they are the future but they still have some work ahead. debs are great. Last but not least, Ubuntu is one of the easyest to install, configure and maintain because so many website's article and news to follow. Ubuntu deserves a big 9. (PS I've used it as a full replacement of windows since 2010)
