In my opinion, Ubuntu is more user friendly than Windows. Other open source users may consider their chosen OS as being the best: Linux Mint, Puppy, Kubuntu, and so on - the list of distributions (distros) on offer is very long.

Ubuntu is safe. The majority of viruses and other malware on the internet are written for windows, so they wouldn't affect an Ubuntu computer. However, ubuntu is less user friendly than windows, so I would be careful and make sure you have a good backup for your windows computer.

Which is the best user friendly Linux package?

In short: Ubuntu LinuxBut you need to remember what User Friendly means, and that Linux is NOT Windows.http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htmWhat does "user-friendly" really mean? Well, in the context in which it is used, "user friendly" software means "Software that can be used to a reasonable level of competence by a user with no previous experience of the software." This has the unfortunate effect of making familiar interfaces fall into the category of "user-friendly".Linux is necessarily different to Windows. Inescapably, Linux always appears less "user-friendly" than Windows.Obviously, it will take some getting used to but once you learn Linux it is a good alternative.


When you download ubuntu Linux will your original os stay on another user?

Ubuntu generally creates a different partition on your hard drive, formatted with the EXT4 filesystem. Therefore, without special software, you cannot access your files on Ubuntu from Windows. However, you can access your Windows files from Ubuntu without any trouble. When Ubuntu is installed, you get to choose whether to boot into Ubuntu or Windows when the computer turns on. That means that you cannot be actively logged into both Windows and Ubuntu on the same computer. However, you can install Ubuntu on a virtual machine, making the computer run Ubuntu inside an emulator in Windows. This makes it possible to run Ubuntu while you are logged into Windows. I do not recommend it, though. Ubuntu users and Windows users are in different operating systems, so you cannot just switch between them like you can in Windows accounts.

Why was Ubuntu Created?

It was originally created to be a temporary fork of Debian to allow for the development of strong desktop features for it. In the end, however, Ubuntu stayed forked and Debian doesn't generally benefit from Ubuntu's feature set. Short answer: Ubuntu was created to produce a "user friendly" version of Debian.


Is there a way to install Ubuntu on only one account of a computer running Windows Vista?

Ubuntu is a whole operating system, not a simple program. It does not run on top of Windows, but instead of it. Thus user accounts on Vista do not come into play. Ubuntu supports its own user accounts, so once it is installed, no one except the person who installed it can use it unless an account is created for them.
