Ubuntu desktop powers millions of PCs and laptops around the world. Canonical now offers professional services at a low cost to fund the improvement of the Ubuntu platform. It is a free, open-source, and easy-to-use Debian Linux derivative first launched in October 2004, by a team of Debian developers set up by Mark Shuttleworth, who together founded Canonical – the publisher of the OS. Ubuntu is arguably the most widely used Linux-based desktop operating system (OS) out there.
