Ubuntu
One of the most popular Linux distros, based on Debian and featuring a GNOME desktop. Ubuntu is designed to be easy to use, with a focus on usability and regular releases.
About Ubuntu
The distro features a six-month release cycle, with rock-solid long-term support (LTS) versions which are shipped every two years. Canonical provides security updates and support until release reaches its end of support cycle, but this can be extended through the Ubuntu Pro and Expanded Security Maintenance programs. As a traditional mutable distro, it gives you full root control to modify config files and manage packages freely. Ubuntu has different versions, which are Desktop, Server, Core, Cloud and Flavors (basically different setups of default applications and settings). It's the best options for beginners, as it is easy to use and has a large community of users who can provide support and assistance.
