## Welcome

> UBLinux GNU/Linux is a lightweight and modern modular operating system developed and maintained by the UBLinux team.

The main reason for its creation is to speed up deployment, simplify administration and support, as most distributions require a lot of time to install and are labor-intensive to maintain.

UBLinux aims to offer all the benefits of Arch Linux, but with less time spent on preparing the environment and ongoing maintenance.

`The UBLinux repository follows Arch Linux and shares the same community.`

UBLinux adheres to the philosophy of Arch Linux and uses Pacman as its primary package manager.

The current UBLinux OS release includes a modern Linux kernel, supports most hardware, and meets strict requirements for fault tolerance and information security. We are also constantly working to optimize system performance, allowing it to run efficiently even on low-end hardware while maintaining full functionality.

> These types of operating systems receive updates throughout the release’s support cycle. This means you will always have the latest versions of your software.

## Linux is GNU/Linux

> Linux and GNU are two interconnected but distinct components that together form the foundation of most modern operating system distributions, often referred to as Linux distributions.

Linux is the operating system kernel created by Linus Torvalds in 1991. The kernel is the core part of the OS that manages computer hardware and provides system calls used by application programs. Linux is responsible for resource allocation, memory management, process control, file systems, and security. Thanks to Linux, programs can use hardware resources efficiently and safely.

GNU is a project started by Richard Stallman in 1983 to develop a completely free operating system compatible with UNIX, called GNU (a recursive acronym for “GNU’s Not Unix”).

> What is the relationship between Linux and GNU?
> When people refer to “Linux”, they often mean an operating system that uses the Linux kernel combined with tools and programs from the GNU project. Without GNU’s programs and utilities, the Linux kernel alone does not make a complete operating system. Therefore, it is more accurate to refer to such systems as GNU/Linux, highlighting the contributions of both projects. While Linux provides the kernel, GNU provides the tools and utilities necessary to create a full-fledged OS.
