Ability to use Linux for any business related task
Using Linux without installing it

In this Ubuntu Desktop training, you will learn all about Linux and how it is easy to use compared to other operating system out there. And you will see why you should dump that windows for Ubuntu Desktop Linux.

You will learn how to perform installation of Ubuntu Desktop from USB drive on a partition just in case you want dualboot with windows. You will learn how to take it for a spin in a virtual environment. You will learn how to perform all tasks you usually perform on your current operating system.

You will also learn how to become an anonymous internet user, protecting yourself online while maintaining privacy the way you want.

You may think that Windows is easy to use and Linux is hard. That’s a misconception and you will soon see why in this course. No doubt, windows is widely used and people are already familiar with it, so most people think its easier than other operating systems and thus maintain the status quo by not trying out other operating systems.

Study have found that many people who have never used computer before think Ubuntu Desktop, which is a user-friendly Linux distribution is easier that Windows after they are provided with a Ubuntu computer and a Windows computer.

Linux is a community-driven project, when you don’t understand something, all you do is search google and there you will be presented with answer the way you need it.

Linus is clean and clutter-free. On Linux, you don’t see advertisement pop out. Software on Ubuntu Linux isn’t adware. When you installed a software on Ubuntu Linux, you don’t have worry about installing a third-party toolbar, plugin or that kind of stuff, things windows is popular for. Ubuntu Desktop environments such as Unity, Gnome, KDE are designed in a clean way.

Ubuntu Desktop is very customizable. You are free to customize Ubuntu Desktop the way you want and let it behave however you seem fit. If you don’t like a desktop environment, all you do is install another one. It’s fun and cool to tweak to your liking. You can even legally build your own version of Linux and distribute to the world.

Linux is Open Source: This is the beauty of Ubuntu Linux and Linux Operating Systems in general. Open source means every one can download the source code, have a look at it or modify it. This also means you have full control of Linux and there’s no backdoor or spying software on Linux.

Another awesome feature is that there’s no mandatory updates. You only update when you want to without some pop up forcing you or restarting your machine on you. When you are using Microsoft operating system, you are not in control of your computer and you don’t know how many spyware are running on your system.

Linux is a very robust operating system, it can run continuously for many years and doesn’t have a problem. You may choose not shutdown this operating system for months and it won’t crash, showing you some bluescreen.

99% of the time, Ubuntu Desktop Linux doesn’t require a reboot after updates to software or editing settings. In comparison, every time you change computer name in Windows, you have restart.

Ubuntu Desktop can run on a very minimum resource system, meanwhile, windows cannot run smoothly on a system unless you have a 4GB Ram and something like that, Linux on the other hand can run smoothly on a 1GB RAM and will still be faster than any windows machine. This means you don’t have to worry about changing hardware for incompability.

Ubuntu Desktop is very secure, most of us Linux users don’t install anti-virus software since the Ubuntu Desktop Linux itself is very secure out of the box. To this day, there’s no virus known to pose a threat to Linux system. All that Trojan horse virus, worm, spyware, malware etc that target windows system have no effect on Ubuntu Desktop Linux.

Finally, Ubuntu Desktop is FREE. If you do a clean install of Windows 10 Home, you will spend $119.99. Window 10 Pro costs $199. And any upgrade cost about $99. All these costs are not present in Ubuntu Desktop Linux. And you can install on as many system as you may want to use.

As a coach and teacher, my students are my first priority, thus, all my courses are created as walk-throughs that you can pick up and start using right away. This course, Ubuntu Desktop, has been created to accommodate a wide range of learning styles.

I am quick to respond to messages, therefore, if any topic is unclear, all you have to do is send a message with the topic and your questions and you will get response within 24hours.

I look forward to helping you achieve your learning objective with this Ubuntu Desktop Training Course and hopefully getting to switch from the current operating system to Linux and enjoy the freedom.
