What is Ubuntu?

Ubuntu is a free and open-source Linux operating system developed by Canonical and the global Ubuntu community for desktop computing, software development, enterprise servers, and cloud infrastructure. Built on Debian, the distribution combines an extensive software ecosystem with graphical administration tools, predictable releases, and support for a wide range of hardware. Ubuntu Desktop provides the GNOME desktop environment, including an application launcher, file manager, system settings, notification controls, and customizable workspace features. Users can install applications for web browsing, document editing, multimedia production, gaming, programming, and artificial intelligence development. Its APT package management system supports software installation, dependency management, security patches, and system updates, while Snap provides an additional application packaging and distribution framework. Ubuntu releases updated versions every six months, with Long-Term Support editions published every two years for users who prioritize stability and extended maintenance. Standard LTS releases receive five years of security maintenance, while Ubuntu Pro provides additional security coverage, compliance tools, and optional enterprise support. Ubuntu Server enables organizations to deploy web applications, databases, file servers, virtual machines, containers, and Kubernetes clusters across physical and virtual infrastructure. Canonical provides optimized Ubuntu images for AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, and other public cloud environments to simplify application deployment and infrastructure management. Security and administration features include disk encryption, AppArmor access controls, firewall configuration, automatic security updates, Kernel Livepatch through Ubuntu Pro, and centralized device management with Landscape.
