Modern și plin de caracteristici

Ubuntu MATE este un sistem de operare modern, cu o interfață atractivă și ușor de înțeles. Managerul său de actualizare păstrează nu numai sistemul de operare în sine, dar și toate aplicațiile sale instalate actualizate la versiunea curentă. Sistemul de operare este mai sigur, și mai bine susținut decât sistemele de operare care vin preinstalate pe cele mai multe calculatore in ziua de azi.

Folosind Ubuntu MATE vă oferă libertatea de a rula un sistem de operare complet, pre-configurat cu cele mai multe, dacă nu toate, dintre aplicațiile de care veți va avea nevoie pentru activitatea de zi cu zi - sau pentru a schimba modul în care arată, modul în care funcționează, sau aplicațiile pe care le rulează pentru a se potrivi cu gustul dumneavoastră.

Ubuntu MATE este proiectat pentru securitate. Spre deosebire de sistemele care actualizează doar o dată pe lună, Ubuntu MATE primește actualizări continuu. Actualizările includ patch-uri pentru Ubuntu MATE si toate componentele acestuia. Actualizăari de securitate pentru toate aplicațiile instalate sunt de asemenea furnizate in aceeași planificare. Asta asigură ca beneficiați de cea mai recentă protecție pentru toate programele de pe calculatorul dumneavoastră -- de îndată ce este disponibilă!

Ubuntu MATE poate lua viruși și alte infecții... dar nu o face. Actualizările rapide și oportune se asigură că sunt foarte puține, dacă există, amenințări asupra sistemelor Linux ca și Ubuntu MATE care persistă în sălbăticie. In realitate, au existat foarte puține infecții "publice" în ultimii 10 care ar putea afecta Ubuntu MATE. Acestea nu mai prezintă o amnințare pentru cineva care instalează sau folosește o distribuție modernă de Linux în prezent. Ubuntu MATE este proiectat pentru a face dificilă instalarea virușilor, kit-urilor root și alte malware-uri si rulate fara intervenția conștientă a dumneavoastră, utilizatorul. Chiar dacă accidental invitați o infecție, este foarte probabil să fie destinată pentru Windows și să nu afecteze sau să nu producă pagube mari pentru Ubuntu MATE.

O altă caracteristică de securitate pe care o oferă Ubuntu MATE este faptul că utilizatorii nu sunt administratori în mod implicit. Administratorii (utilizatorii "root" ) pe alte systeme au permisiunea sa facă orice doresc, incluzând abilitatea de a avaria sistemul.

For example, other operating systems look at the name of a file to determine which program should open it, then immediately attempt to open it. That design makes it easy for an intruder to attack a computer. Ubuntu MATE opens a file based on what the file is, not based on its name. So even if a malicious program disguises its identity by using the name "Last Will and Testament.txt" Ubuntu MATE will recognize the file as a program. The system provides a warning that the file is not a text file, but that it is a program that will be run if you give it permission to continue. To be extra secure, Ubuntu MATE requires you to provide your administrator password before that permission is granted. Every single time.

Powerful Applications

While MATE Desktop provides the essential user interfaces to control and use a computer, Ubuntu MATE adds a collection of additional applications to turn your computer into a truly powerful workstation.

Productivity

Firefox delivers safe, easy web browsing. A familiar user interface, enhanced security features including protection from online identity theft, and an integrated search to let you get the most out of the web.

Thunderbird is a full-featured email, RSS and newsgroup client that makes emailing safer, faster and easier than ever before. It supports different mail accounts (POP, IMAP, Gmail), has a simple mail account setup wizard, one-click address book, tabbed interface, an integrated learning spam filter, advanced search and indexing capabilities, and offers easy organization of mails with tagging and virtual folders. It also features unrivalled extensibility.

LibreOffice is a full-featured office productivity suite that provides a near drop-in replacement for Microsoft(R) Office; its clean interface and powerful tools let you unleash your creativity and grow your productivity. LibreOffice embeds several applications that make it the most powerful Free and Open Source Office suite on the market:

• Writer, the word processor.
• Calc, the spreadsheet application.
• Impress, the presentation engine.
• Draw, the drawing and flowcharting application.
• Base, the database and database frontend.
• Math, for editing mathematics.

Rhythmbox is a very easy to use music playing and management program which supports a wide range of audio formats (including mp3 and ogg). Originally inspired by Apple's iTunes, the current version also supports Internet Radio, iPod integration and generic portable audio player support, Audio CD burning, Audio CD playback, music sharing, and Podcasts.

Shotwell is a digital photo organizer. It allows you to import photos from disk or camera, organize them in various ways, view them in full-window or fullscreen mode, and export them to share with others. It is able to manage a lot of different image formats, also including raw CR2 files.

VLC is the VideoLAN project's media player. It plays MPEG, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, MOV, WMV, QuickTime, WebM, FLAC, MP3, Ogg/Vorbis files, DVDs, VCDs, podcasts, and multimedia streams from various network sources.

VLC can also be used as a streaming server that duplicates the stream it reads and multicasts them through the network to other clients, or serves them through HTTP.

VLC has support for on-the-fly transcoding of audio and video formats, either for broadcasting purposes or for movie format transformations.

... And a whole lot more!

Naturally you'll also find a firewall, backup application, document/photo scanner and printer management all included in Ubuntu MATE. And this is just the start. The Software sections includes best-in-class applications for most tasks and a one-click installer for an "App Store" that will give you access to thousands of applications suitable for just about any professional or recreational pursuit.

In the last couple of years Linux has become a first class gaming platform thanks to Valve bringing the Steam platform to Linux. At the time of writing Steam has more than 1000 high quality indie and AAA titles available for Linux. Ubuntu MATE is fully compatible with Steam for Linux.

While Steam is a major step forward for gaming on Linux, there are also many high quality and enjoyable Open Source games titles available for Ubuntu MATE. It doesn't matter if you like flight simulators, motor racing, first person shooters, jump and run or card games, you'll find something to keep you entertained.

Making an accessible operating system was a key priority when the Ubuntu MATE founders initially set out the goals of the project.

Ubuntu MATE is never going to be able to offer the comprehensive integration of assistive technologies that Sonar GNU/Linux provides. But Ubuntu MATE will continue to follow their lead so that Ubuntu MATE is a viable desktop solution where computer access is shared within a household or business where individual needs differ.

Currently Ubuntu MATE has the essential mobile device support you'd expect. You can plug in a phone, media player or digital camera and the device is automatically detected and mounted. You can then access the files on it or sync its contents.
