Imagine: The first time people see your desktop, they ask in surprise why it looks so different. “It’s Ubuntu, an effective, lightweight Linux operating system that’s…” \u2013 you start replying, and this is where the people stop listening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those too slow to flee the drop of technical knowledge find themselves in an hour-long rant about the advantages of Ubuntu. Without wasting anyone’s time, you can show them this article \u2013 here are six reasons anyone should consider using Ubuntu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some people obtain their Windows version from the nearest torrent site. Yes, Windows 10 was free for a brief time. However, you often have to pay for Windows services or even more for Apple products. Torrenting puts you at malware infection risk and lacks crucial real-time support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ubuntu has always been free since its release in 2004. It’s an open-source OS, so you get all the advantages everyone else enjoys. Moreover, you get to pick free, open-source software alternatives, such as MS Office alternative \u2013 LibreOffice<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ubuntu has a different way of handling its security. Root-level administrative access is disabled by default. And there’s a password requirement to gain system administrative privileges. It prevents malware from spreading uncontrollably throughout the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Linux is not 100% secure, but it outshines Windows by a long shot. Because Windows is the most popular operating system, more malware threats are targeting it. Cybercriminals don’t focus on developing Ubuntu malware because profiting from it is too much effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are still common threats to be aware of. For example, Linux won’t protect you from password dumping or social engineering. A password manager<\/a> is still the best option to protect your online accounts. And a reliable open-source Firewall will prevent infections from Phishing attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a long time, Linux was primarily for coders and developers. It’s a common myth to think of Linux as an overly sophisticated operating system. Ubuntu is a perfect example of why this myth is insubstantial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you can install Windows 10, you can operate Ubuntu. Moreover, Ubuntu comes with pre-installed drivers and simplified driver installation procedures. This is an improvement much valued by older Windows OS users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2.
