- All right.
In this lesson, I will show you how to get Ubuntu Linux.
So getting Ubuntu Linux, you go to ubuntu.com.
This entire story that we have seen with Red Hat Linux
and the Red Hat family is not as relevant for Ubuntu
because Ubuntu doesn't require you
to get any license or whatsoever.
So you just go to ubuntu.com and there you can download
but you need to watch what you want to download.
There are different links.
And the best location to go to is the download option.
So what do we see in the download option?
You can see the Ubuntu desktop version.
Ubuntu has a desktop version.
Ubuntu has a server version.
I advise you use a desktop version
because that will give you a graphical desktop interface.
Now in the desktop version
you can see two different versions.
You can see the LTS version, which is long-term support
and you can see the latest version.
While we are recording this, the latest version is 21.10.
You need to make sure that you get LTS.
LTS is long-term support
and long-term support is supported for several years
whereas the latest version is only supported
for nine months.
Now, the thing is that we are recording this
just before the availability of LTS 22.04.
For that reason you cannot see LTS 22.04 in this video.
By the time you get here, you will see 22.04.
So it's very easy.
Just click 22.04 to download it.
And just so you know,
I am using a pre-release version of 22.04 in this video.
So you will get complete 22.04 experience.
And that makes that everything that you are
going to do will match.
The only thing that doesn't match is the version
that you see here.
So select the LTS version and then go for it.
I would advise against selecting one of the latest versions
because there's a risk that things are working differently.
And by the time 24.04 LTS is available,
I would say just go for 24.04 and use that.
So click the link.
And after clicking the link, you'll get this.
So what is this?
This is about the donations that you might want to do.
So if you want to donate money to the Ubuntu developers
then you continue here.
And if you don't then,
well you just don't because as you can see
the ubuntu download is already starting.
