Why choose Ubuntu desktop

Open source

Ubuntu has always been free to download, use and share. We believe in the power of open source software; Ubuntu could not exist without its worldwide community of voluntary developers.


Secure

With a built-in firewall and virus protection software, Ubuntu is one of the most secure operating systems around. And the long-term support releases give you five years of security patches and updates.


Accessible

Computing is for everyone regardless of nationality, gender or disability. Ubuntu is fully translated into over 50 languages and includes essential assistive technologies.


Visually stunning,
wherever it's used

Ubuntu gets the most from your screen, with high definition, touchscreen support, fractional scaling and touchpad gestures. 22.04 refreshes its signature Yaru theme, with system-wide dark style preference support, accent colours and the largest selection of community wallpapers yet.


Get Linux on the largest range of hardware

Canonical works closely with Dell, Lenovo and HP to certify that Ubuntu works on a wide range of their laptops and workstations. It means that a seamless Ubuntu experience is available out of the box with more hardware choice than ever.

And Ubuntu isn't just for the desktop, it is used in data centres around the world powering every kind of server imaginable and is by far, the most popular operating system in the cloud.
