Ubuntu


Last Update: 2024-08-18 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 (1,124), 6 months: 5 (1,182), 3 months: 6 (1,025), 4 weeks: 7 (1,015), 1 week: 7 (1,141)

Average visitor rating: 7.69/10 from 288 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.

 I really like gnome and the ubuntu distro. I am fairly new to Linux and tried various distros. I stopped distrohopping at Ubuntu. For me everything works, so no need to change.
I experience some freezes, or apps that do not open, mostly logging out helps.
The look of Ubuntu and the ease of use make me stay and I use it for work and private life. Gaming works (I use the steam deb file). I have tried some snaps with various results. Some work perfectly, others load very slow, sadly.

I have no more reason to change. Also the fact a company like Canonical is behind is gives me a bit more of secure feeling rather than that it pulls me off.

 "9/10 since it has been a bouncy road getting here, might review after the laptop install this weekend and if that is OK, it gets a 10."

Back after install.

Install on Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 7 went very well.

Everything is working and updated. Tried snap and flatpak version and not really much difference between the two on both my devices now. Hardware is all recognized and working, even picked up my 4G modem which was nice. No complaints, just enjoying stable and smooth experience.

Ubuntu is good again. Chuffed.

10/10

 After a few years of hopping between distros, I installed my first acquaintance from 2008 last week. Ubuntu was my first contact with Linux and unfortunately it somehow never worked as well as other distros. But I never lost sight of it and kept trying it out... and 24.04 has been running perfectly on my 3-week-old PC for a week.

I can't really say more, because everything really works, and that despite Snaps, extremely fast, smooth and stable, and playing on Steam or Lutris worked out of the box! What I'm particularly excited about is that the visual experience with 24.04 is breathtaking, I think. The games and films run in excellent quality and detail, thanks to the Nvidia driver that was installed.

But I don't want to rave about it any longer now... try it out. 10/10 with a very satisfied smile on my face. :-)
