Week 3a- Literature Review- Windows vs Ubuntu

Salam and good morning to willing readers who have never stopped to reach the top :)

For Week 3a, it was a study on educational research process. My group (W. Syazwani Nasuha and I) have decided to choose the topic of 'Windows versus Ubuntu' under our previous task's activity that is OS or Operating System. We selected the topic as it was an eye-opening ICT issue for us- due to the fact that Syazwani and I have never really knew about other OS except for Windows.

So, by studying this matter, we both feel really good to be able to share the information with others :D

Surfing the internet through website and journal articles, we found out about the existence, and recommended free OS that are reliable indeed based on their customers' feedback.

One of them is Ubuntu which also comes with Edubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu. I know the names are pretty funny but they come under meaningful and noble purposes. One of my friends mentions this issue as to be related to Rwanda massacre long time ago. (This is a not-proven fact, so be wise and don't make it a point if you don't know about it :)

When it comes to compare these two OS, we tend to become bias and support Ubuntu more- practically because it is free, much more reliable, complete and sophisticated. These factors are looked forward by smart computer users who prefer free-of-conflicts OS. (Which may mean that Windows always produce better OS after their previous one and I am quiet skeptic about it- do they really improve it so the price can be raised higher?) Nevertheless, I could not and would not deny the fact that it has done a lot for me and my family. Praise be to Allah and credits to the inventors :DD

Windows and Ubuntu have features that are quiet shocking. You may want to see them by following this link,

Honestly, if you are a computer-savvy user, you may want to consider using Ubuntu OS.

Below are some of its specialties.


Speaking of security level, one reliable source said that Ubuntu OS will never get infected by virus that easily. This piece of information could be one of the main factors as to why users change their OS to Ubuntu- a standard version like Windows XP. As an addition, like what has been mentioned above, this free OS also comes with Edubuntu, an OS that is designed for students. For kids who just started to explore the richness of knowledge and skills through ICT learning, this OS is just perfect for them. It can boost their spirit to explore, undeniably :D

A latest version of Edubuntu,


Its specialties


Amazing isn't it ? :D

After typing the conclusion of the elaboration about Windows versus Ubuntu, I realize the fact that being a latecomer in the modernisation and upgrading of ICT development would be such a waste, especially as a student.

Till then, drill the fact prepared :D
