About Ubuntu

From the start we had a clear vision - to develop the very best system and software then make it available to all.

Ubuntu gives you a new operating system every six months, great compatibility with other providers, security you can count on and the freedom to share it with anyone you like. But best of all, Ubuntu is and always will be absolutely free.

Ubuntu for business

Free to download and with no licensing fees, Ubuntu is a great way to streamline your business operations. On top of that, it’s easy to use, compatible with other systems and software, and as secure as they come.

Ubuntu for you

With an incredible security record, support as and when you need it, your very own cloud to store your files and tonnes of free software that’s easy to download, Ubuntu does everything you need. And it's yours to use and share whenever you want, however you want.

Ubuntu for education

Ubuntu is perfect for schools, universities and colleges everywhere. In education, free is only good if the product is secure, effective, reliable, quick to install and straightforward to use. Ubuntu is all of these things and more.
