Ubuntu: By: Mohammad AL-shuaibi 3090603050 Omar

Ubuntu is a Linux-based operating system that is open source and free, with a focus on usability. It is named based on an African concept meaning "humanity toward others" and is sponsored by Canonical Ltd. Ubuntu provides popular software like Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice, and multimedia players for free and receives regular updates every six months. While it is a popular alternative to Windows and Mac OS, some programs and peripheral drivers are not always compatible with Ubuntu.
