Ubuntu 25.04 (Plucky Puffin) / 24.04.3 LTS – Free Linux OS

Ubuntu 25 is a community-developed, Linux-based operating system. It is a secure, intuitive, and super-fast OS with a great-looking interface, powering everything from desktops and laptops to servers.

Experience an operating system that is both simple and powerful. Ubuntu is easy to use and provides all the applications you need, from a web browser to a complete office suite, along with instant messaging and thousands of other free applications. It’s also fully compatible with your existing hardware, including PC files, printers, cameras, and MP3 players.

It is a free operating system. Whether you use it at home, school, or work, Ubuntu provides all the applications you’ll ever need—from word processing and email to web server software and programming tools.

The system loads quickly on most computers and is especially fast on newer machines. After loading, a browser can be opened within seconds, unlike other operating systems that may leave users waiting to go online.

MATE Edition is a stable, easy-to-use operating system with a configurable desktop environment. It is ideal for those who want the most from their computers and prefer a traditional desktop layout. With modest hardware requirements, it is suitable for modern workstations, single-board computers, and older hardware. MATE makes modern computers fast and old computers usable.

Ubuntu MATE has several guiding objectives and goals.

• Accessible to all, regardless of language and physical ability.
• Increase both Ubuntu and MATE Desktop user adoption.
• An Ubuntu-based alternative for PCs that lack the resources to run a composited desktop environment.
• The first choice for the Ubuntu platform is remote workstation solutions, such as LTSP and X2Go.
• Recreate the halcyon days of Ubuntu for users who prefer a traditional desktop metaphor.
• Use themes and artwork similar to those in Ubuntu, making MATE immediately familiar.
• Whenever possible, contribute to Debian to benefit the Debian and Ubuntu communities.
• Software selection will favor functionality and stability over lightness and whimsy.
