Ubuntu is a free desktop operating system. It’s based on Linux, a massive project that enables millions of people around the world to run machines powered by free and open software on all kinds of devices. Linux comes in many shapes and sizes, with Ubuntu being the most popular iteration on desktops and laptops.

Ubuntu includes thousands of pieces of software, starting with the Linux kernel version 5.4 and GNOME 3.28, and covering every standard desktop application from word processing and spreadsheet applications to internet access applications, web server software, email software, programming languages and tools and of …

What Ubuntu means to me personally, is to have respect for other people regardless of their colour, race or creed; to care about others; to be kind to others on a daily basis whether I’m dealing with the check-out clerk at the grocery store or the CEO of a large corporation; to be considerate of others; to be …

“Putting personal files on Ubuntu” is just as safe as putting them on Windows as far as security is concerned, and has little to do with antivirus or choice of operating system. All this has no relation to antivirus nor operating system – these concepts are exactly the same for both Windows and Ubuntu.

Ubuntu is secure as an operating system, but most data leaks do not happen at the home operating system level. Learn to use privacy tools like password managers, which help you use unique passwords, which in turn gives you an additional security layer against password or credit card info leaks at the service side.

Re: Can I be confident in secure banking using linux mint 100% security does not exist but Linux does it better than Windows. You should keep your browser up-to-date on both systems. That’s the main concern when you want to use secure banking.

The answer to both of those questions is yes. As a Linux PC user, Linux has many security mechanisms in place. Getting a virus on Linux has a very low chance of even happening compared to operating systems like Windows. On the server side, many banks and other organizations use Linux for running their systems.

It is one of the best OS for hackers. Basic and networking hacking commands in Ubuntu are valuable to Linux hackers. Vulnerabilities are a weakness that can be exploited to compromise a system. A good security can help to protect a system from been compromised by an attacker.

If you want the best UI, best desktop apps, then Linux probably isn’t for you, but it’s still a good learning experience if you’ve never used a UNIX or UNIX-alike before. Personally, I don’t bother with it on the desktop any more, but that isn’t to say you shouldn’t.

It’s hard to say, but I have a feeling Linux isn’t going anywhere, at least not in the foreseeable future: The server industry is evolving, but it’s been doing so forever. Linux still has a relatively low market share in consumer markets, dwarfed by Windows and OS X. This will not change anytime soon.

Although the company is now thoroughly cross-platform, not every application will move to or take advantage of Linux. Instead, Microsoft adopts or supports Linux when the customers are there, or when it wants to take advantage of the ecosystem with open-source projects.

The Linux system is very stable and is not prone to crashes. The Linux OS runs exactly as fast as it did when first installed, even after several years. Unlike Windows, you need not reboot a Linux server after every update or patch. Due to this, Linux has the highest number of servers running on the Internet.

While Linux distributions offer wonderful photo-managing and editing, video-editing is poor to non-existent. There is no way around it — to properly edit a video and create something professional, you must use Windows or Mac. Overall, there are no true killer Linux applications that a Windows user would lust over.
