About

Ubuntu is a free, open-source Linux operating system developed by Canonical and the Ubuntu community for desktop computers, servers, cloud infrastructure, and connected devices. Based on Debian, the distribution provides a user-friendly computing environment with regular software updates, security patches, and extensive hardware compatibility. Ubuntu Desktop features the GNOME desktop environment and includes applications for web browsing, office productivity, multimedia, software development, and everyday computing. Its APT package manager and Snap ecosystem allow users to install, update, and manage thousands of software applications. Ubuntu offers Long-Term Support (LTS) releases with five years of standard security maintenance and optional extended coverage through Ubuntu Pro. The operating system also supports virtualization, containers, Kubernetes, artificial intelligence development, and enterprise infrastructure management across on-premises and cloud environments.

Rocky Linux:

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It installs? Maybe it's easy if you installed all of it, so that it automatically takes you to the GUI with the first boot. I did the minimal install OS on a DVD.

Cons

  • If you get the base OS version, you can't do squat. It's all locked down, even denying permissions to root. And support is very slim compared to Slackware. On Slackware's page, it has tons of basics and step by step instructions for doing things. It's fully operating, running dhclient to get an IP address, while you try that with Rocky, it says command not found, as it does on almost everything. Don't try Xorg -config because, guess what? Command not found. It's raring to go with Slackware, it all WORKS. And I know because I've been using it for more than 15 years. I suppose if you loaded All of Rocky it would work, the full install. But it's apparently ALL or NOTHING with Rocky Linux.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Great distribution for beginners on Linux; Customized GNOME desktop environment; Supports restricted codecs.

Cons

  • Snap is enabled by default (and you can't uninstall it easily). The Snap Firefox has a problem where I can't access some banks here in Brazil that uses Warsaw (CEF, Banco Itaú, BB, etc.), as it doesn't work.
