Linux is an "open source" operating system, meaning that it can be modified and distributed freely. Because of this fact there are hundreds of Linux distributions in circulation and Ubuntu is quickly becoming one of the world's most popular operating systems.
Different people have different opinions of each of the Linux distributions. Many feel that the official Linux distribution by Red Hat Software is the best Linux operating system, while others believe Ubuntu is the best Linux distribution. I personally believe that Ubuntu is the most efficient and most reliable of the GNOME desktop operating systems in circulation, for three reasons:
Features and Capabilities Several Linux distributions are built upon the powerful Debian distribution, with its various software packages. However, Ubuntu is far more cutting edge than other distributions as it very quickly adopts newer enhancements. Ubuntu also makes the most of the GNOME interface. It has a very appealing graphical user interface. The desktop is eye-catching and very organized.
Ubuntu is also very simple to use because of its awry similarity to Windows Vista. Ubuntu is capable of doing many of the same things that Windows Vista is able to do. These capabilities include word processing, spreadsheet, calculating, video editing, and many more.
Security Another reason why Ubuntu is the superlative Linux distribution is because of its security. Ubuntu has several security features that make it one of the most reliable operating systems not only based on UNIX, but also out of all other operating systems including Windows Vista and Mac OS X. Like other Linux operating systems, Ubuntu uses a different source code. Because of this different code, it is difficult to write viruses and malware for Ubuntu.
Stability
Stability is a very huge concern for most Linux systems. Because of the freedom that Linux provides to its users, Linux is not the most stable operating system. Users can easily modify the source code on a Linux system and that may cause irreversible harm to the operating system and that may cause a total loss of files and information. Ubuntu, however, is a very stable Linux operating system compared to the other distributions because it provides a secure system recovery operation. If the user accidentally causes harm to his or her computer, they can easily reverse the previous operation and recover their files.
What's more, it is completely free of charge, while Red Hat, the official Linux operating system, charges $80 for the cost of service and support. Ubuntu is, overall, the best Linux distribution because of the combination of security, features, and capabilities.
