General Information about Ubuntu

Look: Ubuntu Desktop Guide

There seem to be a lot of Linux operating systems; which operating system do I choose?

The applications that a home user needs are email, web browser, pdf file viewer, video and
music playback software as well as office program including spreadsheet, word processing and
presentation graphics. Today, cloud services, web calls and other social media applications are
also often needed.

Although Linux has many different operating systems (distros), the above mentioned
applications can be found in all these systems and look the same. In this sense, the home user
can choose any Linux operating system.

There are plenty of tutorials of Ubuntu, as well as a very useful forum where you get advice very
quickly.

The previously mentioned applications are similar in appearance on the screen, whether you
are running Windows or Ubuntu. Ubuntu does not need antivirus protection. The firewall has
also been built inside Linux itself.
Ubuntu with all its applications is free.
Ubuntu needs much less memory compared to Windows.

When you start using Ubuntu instead of Windows, perhaps the most significant difference is the
folder structure. These differences are presented in this guide.

Ubuntu is updated annually and the so-called ”Long-term support” (5 years) versions are
published every two years with the symbol of year and month and the letters LTS (long-term
support). For example, version 22.04 LTS has been released in April 2022 and will be supported
until 2027.

If you have an old computer running Windows XP or Vista, for example, you can install
Ubuntu Mate or Lubuntu (distros). Both are exellent with an old PC like XP or Vista.
You can work with XP or with Ubuntu distros, and distros can use files from the XP area.
Very useful! And you can use this guide with distros too!

How to open Ubuntu?


To unlock your computer, raise the lock screen curtain by
dragging it upward with the cursor, or by pressing Esc or Enter.
This will reveal the login screen, where you can enter your
password to unlock. Alternatively, just start typing your password
and the curtain will be automatically raised as you type.
When you lock your screen, or it locks automatically, the lock screen is displayed. In addition
to protecting your desktop while you’re away from your computer, the lock screen displays the
date and time. It also shows information about your battery and network status.
