    available. Canonical Ltd. is also liable for the Ubuntu funding.

    It is designed for network servers, smartphones, and computers. The system is integrated

    principles.

    Similar to the Windows operating system, Ubuntu is also easy to use. There is a popular
    myth about Ubuntu is that it is integrated for coders and developers only. But the real fact
    is that Ubuntu is a good desktop operating system and could be used by any normal
    computer user.

    ii. No Need for Antivirus

    The risk of having malware or virus is minimal that decreases the anti-virus software cost.
    Also, anti-virus is a cause for the slowdown of our computer system and badly affects the
    performance. It may also lead the system to not efficiently function. Anti-virus also
    inherits a lot of space in the system apart from this problem. But each of these problems
    and risks can be avoided in an affordable way with Ubuntu.

    iii. PC Performance

    System performance depends on what type of usage is. For instance, if the system is
    utilized for designing, coding, testing problems, business purposes, or for only simply
    utilization of a computer system, it's recommended. A few causes behind it are that
    Ubuntu boots quickly as compared to Windows, provides several IDEs free of cost, and
    gets less affected. Otherwise, Mac and Windows are way ahead as compared to Ubuntu if
    gaming aim is considered.

    IV. COMMANDS
    i. pwd

    pwd (print working directory) Ubuntu command displays the full pathname of the current
    working directory.
