The modifications to the GNOME3 Desktop environment, generally make Ubuntu slightly easier to use than pure GNOME3 when coming from other Operating systems such as Windows. These are areas that most other Linux Desktop Environments sorely lack in. Ubuntu uses a modified GNOME3 Desktop Environment which offers the best support for 2 in 1 Touchscreen Devices facilitating auto-rotation using the rotation sensor and a touchscreen keyboard. Ubuntu is open source software meaning you can download, install and use it without any payment, although there is a Ubuntu Pro version, mainly focused towards business and enterprises who want additional support contracts from Canonical. In the vast majority of cases (unless your device is absolutely bleeding edge or ancient) all the required drivers will be inbuilt into the Linux Kernel or obtained via Ubuntu Software Updates. Ubuntu is the Linux distribution that has the most mainstream support from chip manufacturers such as Intel, AMD and NVIDIA and OEMs such as Dell and Lenovo. In order to facilitate additional driver and multimedia codecs, a Machine Owner Key (MOK) will be setup during installation and provided to the UEFI BIOS. The UEFI BIOS will be configured with Secure Boot. This guide will look at installation of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on a Dell equipped with an 11th Generation Intel Processor.
