Ubuntu is a commercially sponsored, easy-to-use, debian-derived version of GNU/Linux that focuses on usability, a regular 6-month release cycle, and a commitment to support for at least 36 months for every long term release.
This support includes:
- Help with locating compatible hardware and accessories
- Assistance reverting back to older drivers and kernel versions
- Switching from long term support releases to normal releases
- Safely partitioning the disk for mixed environments (dual boot)
- A walk-through of the online upgrade process
- Restoring disappearing boot menus
- Finding more localized support in your community
If you have other issues with your GNU/Linux PC that can't be resolved per-incident support is also available.
