Many people who want to make the move from their Windows systems to a Linux distribution choose Ubuntu as their first step in the process. The reasons for this are clear, as it provides a clean, attractive GUI, and usability by the bucket-load. It is the perfect environment in which to begin learning about the command line and creating a more customisable workspace, while still benefitting from the advantages that you were used to in Windows and other desktop systems. In this newly revised edition, our aim is to guide you from where you are now – whether that’s about to download Ubuntu, or looking for ways to supercharge your experience – to becoming a confident Ubuntu power user. You’ll discover the best features of Ubuntu’s default software, and the best FOSS apps for you to download from the Software Centre. This edition updated for Cosmic Cuttlefish.
