Ubuntu is an operating system from the Linux family, based on the Debian distribution.

It is available in three variants, Desktop, Server and Core. In addition, many other distributions are based on it, such as Kubuntu and Linux Mint. This makes Ubuntu by far the most popular Linux distribution in the world.

Due to its popularity, stability, rich repositories and relatively easy operation, this distribution is especially recommended for people who have never used Linux systems before.

Currently, Ubuntu variants are used on a large scale of devices. They can be found on personal computers, smartphones, servers, virtual machines, autonomous cars or even refrigerators!

Thanks to this opportunity, developers can easily use the same tools on personal computers as in the target production environment.
