Ubuntu is a complete desktop Linux operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. The Ubuntu community is built on the ideas enshrined in the Ubuntu Manifesto: that software should be available free of charge, that software tools should be usable by people in their local language and despite any disabilities, and that people should have the freedom to customise and alter their software in whatever way they see fit. "Ubuntu" is an ancient African word, meaning "humanity to others". The Ubuntu distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world.

I like Ubuntu because it has superior font rendering. Version 24.04 brings Linux v6.8 which solves my Ryzen laptop sleep/suspend issue. On previous kernel version, my laptop can't wake up from sleep/suspend. I don't like Gnome Files because it is slow when opening folder and generating thumbnails with thousand of files, but on Gnome version 46 that issue barely noticed. Snap version apps is okay for me, but try to install VS Code and open project folder then it crashes, uninstalled it then install the DEB version and it works well. Installing Snap version apps from App Center is slower compared to installing it from DEB or using APT. I dualboot this with Windows and the GRUB is very vanilla or unthemed unlike Mint or KDE Neon. Once I've done setting up my Ubuntu, for my daily use, it works very well.
