Super quick-start guide
You don’t even need to install Ubuntu to try its delights!
You need an ISO writing tool to create your bootable USB drive.
M odern Linux is easier, faster and less hassle to install than any recent release of Windows. That’s the truth. No messing with keys, no worrying about activation and no digging out that lost install disc or USB drive. No restrictive hardware demands. No invasive adverts, no snooping, no popup adware asking you to do this, register for that, connect to this service and on and on…
The beauty of Linux is that because it’s freed software, anyone can download and start using it. You don’t even have to install anything! Linux technology and its free-andeasy licence means that it can run off virtual machines that live in the web. Don’t believe us? Head to https://distrosea.com/select/ubuntu/, where you can launch your very own in-browser version of Ubuntu 25.04 running remotely on a virtualised server out there somewhere. It’ll be a little more laggy than a local instance or install, but it offers instant access from any modern browser running on Windows or Mac OS. Distrosea.comalso offers a large range of alternative Linux distros from Linux Mint to Arch, so you can try out a load and find which you like the most.
