2. About Ubuntu MATE
Ubuntu MATE is a stable, easy-to-use operating system with a configurable desktop environment. It is ideal for those who want the most out of their computers and prefer a traditional desktop metaphor. With modest hardware requirements it is suitable for modern workstations, single board computers and older hardware alike. Ubuntu MATE makes modern computers fast and old computers usable.
Why Ubuntu MATE?
Ubuntu MATE is a desktop distribution (variation) of GNU/Linux -- a dependable, secure, capable, and modern computer system that rivals all others in popularity and usage. Unlike other operating systems, Linux is used:
-
- · on most of the world's fastest and most powerful supercomputers
- · on many of, if not most of, the computers that make up the backbone of Internet
- · and on corporate servers that require stability and reliability
The Ubuntu MATE operating system is more secure, and better supported than the operating system pre-installed on most home computer hardware today.
Using Ubuntu MATE provides you with the freedom to run a complete, full-featured operating system, pre-configured with most (if not all) of the applications you will need for your daily computing. Change anything about the way it looks, the way it works, or the applications it runs to suit your taste.
