Mentre Debian è “il sistema operativo universale”, orientato alla compatibilità, con una filosofia minimalista che lascia all’utente il dovere/piacere di installare i pacchetti che ritiene opportuni, Ubuntu vuole “avvicinarsi” ai sistemi operativi commerciali, come Windows o Mac OS, ovvero fornisce un sistema con scelte già fatte, un buon numero di pacchetti preinstallati e che funziona immediatamente “out of the box”. Molte delle persone che si avvicinano per la prima volta al mondo del pinguino scelgono Ubuntu per la sua semplicità e per la grande disponibilità di documentazione, forum e software
