If you've heard of Linux, you've probably heard of Ubuntu. Out of any distribution, it's likely the most well known. Ubuntu has a solid reputation for being user friendly to newcomers. Couple that with the endless support you'll find online, and you've got an operating system that anyone can pick up and use. For other most popular Linux distributions please visit our dedicated linux download page.
That's not to say that other Linux distributions aren't user friendly. Many are, but there are more than a few that are geared towards power users and system administrators. Ubuntu strikes a nice balance between the two by catering to casual users and still packing the power that enterprises need. Oh, and it's completely free!
Ubuntu is developed by Canonical and has been around since 2004, enough time to gain a strong footing among the greatest distributions. Ubuntu is based on Debian, a true behemoth among Linux distributions that precedes Ubuntu by more than 11 years.
If you're ready to give Ubuntu a shot, there are a few things you should know before downloading it. Ubuntu has a few different editions available and about half a dozen official variations that Canonical dubs "flavors." We'll take a look at all these options below.

Tor is free software that allows a user to have complete anonymity online. It can be used to avoid having websites and applications track your location or attempt to identify you. It does this by routing your network data through a pool of servers around the world, while also stripping identifying information from packet headers.

Some users like it because it prevents ad tracking companies from building a profile on you based on your browsing habits and serving personalized ads. Still, others are just a little paranoid and appreciate the assurance that no one can spy on their internet activity.
You can use Tor on Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa by installing the Tor client. We'll show you how to set it up in this guide, which includes browser configuration and enabling all of your shell commands to run through Tor's network.

In this guide, we're going to deploy a Kubernetes cluster consisting of two nodes, both of which are running Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa. Having two nodes in our cluster is the most basic configuration possible, but you'll be able to scale that configuration and add more nodes if you wish.

- How to configure a master and worker node
- How to join a worker node to a Kubernetes cluster
