Canonical: welcomes Windows 7 users

Είναι αυτονόητο ότι το τέλος της υποστήριξης των Windows 7 είναι η ιδανική στιγμή για άλλα λειτουργικά συστήματα να συλλέξουν χρήστες. Έτσι λοιπόν και η Canonical, η κατασκευάστρια του Ubuntu, είναι μια από τις trying to prove to Windows 7 users that it's worth it.

Rhys Davies, Canonical's product manager, using the hardware he says that Windows 7 users can either "buy a new computer running another operating system" or simply install Ubuntu, which does not require hardware upgrades.

Davies also lists some of the that make the transition from Windows 7 to Ubuntu as smooth as possible, and mentions Google Chrome, Spotify, Blender and Microsoft's Skype.

"With these applications, most users will be able to operate normally. "You can continue to browse the web, listen to music, watch movies, talk to your friends and download new apps," says Davies.

Security is also one of the areas where Ubuntu excels, Canonical says because the ενημερώνεται “στο παρασκήνιο από προεπιλογή για να διατηρήσει τον υπολογιστή σας ".

“Every line of code is thoroughly reviewed and checked by Canonical or a member of the community. Code is not released until it works properly and is tested for . Υπάρχουν υπάλληλοι πλήρους απασχόλησης στην Canonical που αναζητούν ενεργά σφάλματα και τρωτά σημεία “, προσθέτει ο Davies.

Linux is considered a viable alternative for Windows users who want to change their operating system, but despite efforts to persuade more to make the change, Linux market share remains relatively low.

For example, NetMarketShare data for December 2019 show that Windows was running on a total of 86,84% of computers. Second operating system is preferably MacOS with 11,09%, while Linux is only 1,61%.

It remains to be seen if the Linux market share will increase after the end of Windows 7, especially because some users do not want to upgrade to Windows 10 as they will have to upgrade their PC hardware.

Mention that the functional Ubuntu, is considered a fairly easy distribution for Windows users who want to change systems. Of course there are many more. We can mention the distribution Mint, distribution Manjaro, but also the distribution that we unreservedly recommend MX Linux.
