I Chose Ubuntu Linux Gnome Windows Alternatives

Why I chose Ubuntu


Ubuntu is the simplest, easiest, and a very stable Linux distribution to switch to from Windows.

After growing weary of Windows, its never ending array of holes to be plugged and issues to either work around or live with. I decided it was time for a change.

I had an 80gig WD sitting collecting dust, so I formatted it and installed Ubuntu 7.04. From that point forward I rebooted into my windows partition 3 times. Then it was deleted.

The Windows’ application set is pretty weak right after a fresh install. You get a calculator, notepad and other archaic remnants of software developed in 1995 when Windows 95 was released. Ubuntu comes with Open Office, The Gimp (image editor), GAIM (instant messaging), and RhythymBox (music organizer) just to name a few.

I don’t have to worry about viruses or spyware. Yes this sounds like an Apple fanboy thing to say, but its true. Linux is a derivative of UNIX which was built on the foundation of robustness and security.

Ubuntu is easy to use, even for the non-techie. Using software in Ubuntu is no different from using software in Windows. For every software in Windows there is a Linux equivalent.

Ubuntu stands for humanity to others. The Ubuntu community can help me answer any questions I have or solve any problems within one day.
