From today onwards, I would like to solemnly recommend to you the open source operating system Linux. Writing the Ubuntu Linux Starter series is the first step I've started to promote Linux.
Maybe someone will ask, why do you want to promote Linux? The reasons are as follows:
- Linux is the most important achievement of free software movement, I always agree with the idea of free software, and the promotion of Linux is my action to support free software movement.
- Using Linux can avoid piracy problems, and I have the same intention of building an independent blog.
- Linux is an excellent operating system, I want to let more people enjoy the convenience and fun of Linux.
- Linux suffers from People's prejudice, I hope to use their own efforts for the promotion of Linux a force.
Perhaps someone will ask, Linux distributions are numerous, why alone phase Ubuntu? I think the main factors to consider for a friend who is just starting a Linux trip are:
- Is the system easy to use?
- is the relevant information sufficient?
- Is it convenient to get community support?
Considering the above factors, Ubuntu Linux stands out. Ubuntu is known for its ease of use, is friendly to novices, and has a strong and active community, and most of the Linux data on the web is related to Ubuntu. Therefore, I recommend the first time a friend who migrates from Windows to Linux chooses Ubuntu as a release for introductory learning.
To help Windows users adapt to the Linux platform as quickly as possible, I intentionally avoid using the command line and modify the configuration file method to configure the system, and use the graphical interface as much as possible to complete the setup. While this may seem counterintuitive to classic Linux usage, this is undoubtedly the fastest and smoothest way for Windows users to transition.
