Ubuntu is an operating system built by a worldwide team of expert developers. It contains all the applications you need: a web browser, office suite, media apps, instant messaging and much more. Ubuntu is an open-source alternative to Windows and Office.
Ubuntu will always be free of charge, along with its regular enterprise releases and security updates. Ubuntu comes with full commercial support from Canonical and hundreds of companies from across the world. Ubuntu provides the best translations and accessibility features that the free
software community has to offer.
Ubuntu core applications are all free and open source.
We want you to use free and open source software, improve it and pass
it on.
