Why Choose Ubuntu

Ubuntu’s focus on ease of use and the latest hardware compatibility already makes it a world favourite. In just five years, Ubuntu has become the world’s most popular flavour of Linux by focusing on ease of use and ensuring compatibility with the most common hardware platforms.

With a considerable focus on the consumer space, Ubuntu is uniquely positioned between the open source community and the consumer electronics industry. As a result, it has become the ideal partner for OEMs looking to build on the flexibility of Linux. Ubuntu is developed by a community of Canonical employees, partner employees and volunteers who work together in a transparent, reliable and open process.

This openess is one of the reasons why partners such as Intel, Dell, HP, VMware, ARM, Freescale, IBM and Marvell have engaged directly with the Ubuntu community. There are roughly 15 million Ubuntu users worldwide, with average consumer users representing the fastest-growing segment.
