Ubuntu (Linux)
Ubuntu is a Linux distribution based on Debian. With Ubuntu, the developers pursue the goal of creating an easy-to-install and easy-to-use operating system with coordinated software. This is to be achieved, among other things, by providing exactly one programme for each task. After the first version was released in October 2004, Ubuntu quickly became well-known and within one to two years became one of the most widely used Linux distributions.
