Description

Ubuntu is a powerful GNU/Linux distribution created on the foundation of Debian GNU/Linux. Its primary developer and sponsor is Canonical Ltd., a company known for supporting modern open-source software. Today, Ubuntu continues to actively evolve, with robust development and dedicated maintenance provided by a global community of volunteers and open-source enthusiasts.

According to Canonical, Ubuntu is used by approximately 20 million users worldwide, including a significant community on Mac devices. Ubuntu holds the leading position among all GNU/Linux distributions preferred for web servers, and its seamless compatibility with Mac hardware is a significant advantage for users looking to optimize the Linux Ubuntu ecosystem on their Apple computers.

Typically, new Ubuntu Linux distribution releases are launched every six months and are supported with security updates for nine months (starting from version 13.04; previously, support lasted for eighteen months). This regular update cycle ensures that Mac users benefit from stable performance and the latest security enhancements. Whether you are exploring Ubuntu download options for your Mac or seeking the most up-to-date Linux Ubuntu experience, each release brings added value and reliability for macOS users.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Ubuntu Desktop free?
Please check the developer's website for current pricing information.
The program is damaged or the file isn't working? Are there other problems?
Please read the installation instructions on the Download page carefully before proceeding. Additional help can be found in our article: Errors when installing applications on a Mac.
How do I update the app? Will my activation be affected?
Official updates can break activation unless the installation guide states otherwise. Download the latest version and install it over the existing one — this typically preserves your settings and activation.
How do I get the file? The download link isn't working. What does a .torrent file mean?
For large files, using a dedicated download manager like FDM is strongly advised. Chrome or a download manager handles file hosts much better than Safari. If the file ends in .torrent, you will need a torrent client such as Transmission.
A newer version is out. When will the site be updated?
The site administration does not create or patch software. Updates are submitted by independent contributors when ready.
Can I request an application? Where do I submit requests?
Neither the administration nor the editors build or patch software themselves. You can support the project and submit app requests through donation comments.
How can I switch the interface language?
Go to System Settings → General → Language & Region → Applications → "+", pick the app, then choose your preferred language. For Adobe products, language is typically selected during installation.
What is the right way to remove an app?
Use a dedicated tool such as App Cleaner & Uninstaller for a thorough cleanup. For Adobe software, the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool ensures a fully complete removal.
Looking for assistance?
Paid remote support is available on the site (through AnyDesk, Zoom, or Skype) to guide you through installing apps on Mac or PC.
