The "Live" part means that you can try it right from the USB stick without installing anything. LTS stands for "Long Term Support" meaning that Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, will support it with regular maintenance and security updates for five years after its release. Once it launches, select "Ubuntu" from the left dropdown menu. If you're running on a single drive with Windows and are almost out of space, you may want to consider adding that extra drive! Ubuntu doesn't take nearly as much space as Windows, but assuming you enjoy the experience and want to use it regularly, you'll appreciate thinking about this ahead of time. (Don't worry, you'll get to choose Windows or Ubuntu when your system boots up.) If you have an extra SSD or hard drive installed and want to dedicate that to Ubuntu, things will be more straightforward.
#INSTALL UBUNTU FULL#
The installation you're about to do will give you full control to completely erase your hard drive, or be very specific about partitions and where to put Ubuntu. Put some thought into whether you want to completely wipe out Windows, or dual-boot with both Windows and Ubuntu.
You'll need at least a 4GB USB stick and an internet connection. (You can do Part 1 on a Mac, but I have less experience with Linux installs on Apple hardware so we'll stick to traditional PCs) It's also assumed that you're using a 64-bit version of Windows highly likely if you're using Windows 7, 8 or 10. I'm going to assume you're reading this guide from Windows.
#INSTALL UBUNTU INSTALL#
Kingstonīefore we install Ubuntu, let's get everything prepped. Yep, you can carry around a bootable, persistent, modern OS on this.
#INSTALL UBUNTU WINDOWS 10#
You may simply love Linux because it's an alternative to Windows 10 at a time when Microsoft is guiding their operating system toward being more of a service they have aggressive control over, and not something that resembles a "personal" operating system for your personal computer. It's also far more attractive than it used to be, rivaling if not exceeding the user interfaces of Windows 10 or MacOS. You can throw just about any Linux distribution on a USB stick and test drive it without installing it to your computer. It's free to download and install (although developers welcome donations). There are flavors of Linux built for students, for musicians and creative professionals, for, um, anime fans? You can even roll your own distribution from scratch and literally make it your own.įurthermore, Linux is ridiculously customizable. In that space, Linux has many, many variations called "distributions." While that can result in an overwhelming amount of choice, it also ushers in freedom of choice which simply isn't possible using MacOS or Windows. Hi Android users! Of course, that's your phone and not your desktop PC.
The most popular operating system in the world is actually built on Linux.
