Ubuntu means “a quality that includes the essential human virtues; compassion and humanity.” It is based on Debian and comes with a lot of preinstalled software. It is perhaps the most beginner-friendly Linux distro carefully keeping in mind the various Windows users who eventually want to migrate to Linux.
Let us now look at the installation of the newest Ubuntu 22.04. Windows users can also run this installation on their own VirtualBox. If you haven’t installed VirtualBox yet, check out this tutorial!
