Hi everyone,
Today in this post I
like to share something about ubuntu.
Ubuntu may be a
funny name for those who don't know actually what it is. It is a free
and open source operating system. It is well known of its usage in
Iot and in robotics. It is a great medium for cloud computing. It was
released in three editions Desktop, Server and for Core.
It was invented and
designed in 2004 and funded by canonical Ltd.
The secret behind
the name ubuntu is revealed. It was named after the African
philosophy of ubuntu which canonically translates “Humanity to
others” or “I am what I am because of who we all are”.(thank
you wikipedia)
Now lets see why
Ubuntu is still remembered as an operating system.
The first thing is
the pre-installation of necessary softwares. Here are few softwares
that have pre installed in Ubuntu LibreOffice Writer, LibreOffice
Calc, LibreOffice Impress, Firefox, Thunderbird and many more.
Security is the
another major advantage of Ubuntu. Most developers prefer Ubuntu
because of high security.
And lesser system
requirement is enough to install ubuntu. For example to install ubuntu
16.04, 700MHz dual core processor, 512MB of ram and 5Gb of free disk
space is enough. To install Ubuntu.
And another
advantage regarding ubuntu, it can be used without installation. Hope
it will be a great part of ubuntu. It is not important to install
Ubuntu to have an user experience. We could easily run without
installation.
There are some
disadvantages too. Lets discuss some of them.
First of all the
user interface. While shifting from Mac or Windows we may not like
the interface on the first sight. Might be take time to get familiar
with it. And for beginners it is little bit difficult to handle the
terminal too.
The second big
problem is this is not for gaming and entertainment purpose. It
doesn't offer great features for them. But anyhow they feed the basic
needs like playing songs and small games.
So all of all it is
very much useful for us as developers. And gives us a great
security.
In the next post we
shall discuss about the main commands in Ubuntu.
