Migrating to Linux: A Proposal for Faster Computing CMIT 391 6982 DENNIS KAYASTHA 1 JULY 2021
Good afternoon, I’m Dennis of Go2Linux.
Today, I’ll be narrating my proposal for Faster Computing.
I’ll present my recommendations for migrating Faster Computing to Linux.
1
Benefits
There are a number of benefits for Faster Computing in migrating to Linux, to include:
- Justification #1 Initially, when Linux was available in the market, it has gained the popularity that this software is only for Geeks, but during the last few years the enthusiast came up with a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI). With this user-friendly GUI, most of the users have started adopting this software.
- Justification #2 The Linux software is known for its customization. The operating system offers a wide range of options and a command-line interface. Using this command-line interface, a lot of powerful applications can be executed, and a lot of tasks can be automated where the routine maintenance work is executed via an automation process.
- Justification #3 The Linux platform is known for its stability and the users don’t experience frequent crashes. The speed doesn’t deteriorate as time goes on. The processing speed will be the same at the time of installation and the speed will be the same after several years of usage.
- Justification #4 Linux is completely free to use unlike Microsoft Windows or macOS. You don’t need to purchase any kind of licenses (or shell out cash for specific hardware) to use it for personal or commercial use.
- Justification #5 To be honest, every platform has its share of issues. However, Linux is one of the most secure platforms when compared to macOS and Windows.
With a big community of developers/users, even if someone finds a problem, it gets fixed quickly. However, sometimes with macOS and Windows, I’ve noticed that it takes a lot of time for them to fix the issues in a future update.
And, of course, you don’t necessarily need an antivirus program on Linux. So, you also save on yearly/monthly subscriptions for Antivirus programs on Windows/macOS.

Recommendation: Ubuntu
Go2Linux recommends Ubuntu for Faster Computing. Ubuntu is one of the most popular Linux distributions is Ubuntu. Ubuntu is beginner friendly and designed for those transitioning users from Windows and Mac systems. Ubuntu deploys with GNOME desktop environment that consists of applications such as Firefox, LibreOffice, GIMP, Audacious, and Rhythm box. Ubuntu 21.04 LTS is the latest version that provides new improvement and features such as the new Yaru theme that consists of new and polished icons, support, and fractional scaling functionality that supports high resolution displays. Ubuntu is ideal for desktop users due to its user friendliness and elegant user interface.
Be specific on the version of Linux (e.g., Ubuntu, Mint, Zorin, Redhat, CentOS, Kali) and give specific reasons for your choice (e.g., security features, support, updates, user interface).
Security - All our security products are available for a one-off fee, or they are all included in our Ubuntu Advantage support packages. Ubuntu Advantage is the professional package of tools, technology and expertise from Canonical, helping organizations around the world get the most out of their Ubuntu deployments
Support - The desktop version of Ubuntu supports all the normal software on Windows such as Firefox, Chrome, VLC, etc. it supports the office suite called Libre Office. Ubuntu has an in-built email software called Thunderbird, which gives the user access to email such as Exchange, Gmail, Hotmail, etc.
Suitability- When it comes to Suitability, I choose Highly customizable and user friendly. I have added a reference for more information at the bottom of the page.

Tools to provide file sharing, services, and printing
What tools are available on Linux for the servers to provide file sharing, Linux services, and printing? (e.g., Apache/Nginx, Samba, CUPS, SSH/SCP).
Ensure you identify what the functions/services are used for (e.g., Samba is used for file sharing).
Samba – Samba is an extremely useful networking tool for anyone who has both Windows and Unix systems on his network. Running on a Unix system, it allows Windows to share files and printers on the Unix host, and it also allows Unix users to access resources shared by Windows systems.
Reference- https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch01.html
Apache - Apache is the most used Web server on Linux systems. Web servers are used to serve Web pages requested by client computers. Clients typically request and view Web pages using Web browser applications such as Firefox, Opera, Chromium, or Internet Explorer.
Reference - https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/web-servers-apache#:~:text=Apache%20is%20the%20most%20commonly,%2C%20Chromium%2C%20or%20Internet%20Explorer.
CUPS - CUPS is a printing framework utilized on various Linux appropriations. Its utilization is exceptionally boundless, as it has become the standard print director on most of well-known Linux distros. It's anything but a print spooler, scheduler, print work director, and can store data for various neighborhood or organization printers

TOOLS
In summary, my proposal has demonstrated why Faster Computing should migrate existing computers to Linux.
Summarize your main points. It’s your last opportunity to connect with your client.
Why should the company should adopt Linux? Why did you recommend the distro you chose?
Will hardware upgrades be required?
How will the migration work?
Is the GUI similar to existing Windows based computers?
Are there any CLI considerations and what tools did you recommend?
Taking everything into account, now is the ideal opportunity, for Faster Computing to do the switch and join the 40 million different clients who are encountering the speed, security, and customization of Linux. Linux not just offers an immense range of applications, yet all are for nothing which will cost your organization literally nothing, couple with its capacity to work with your present setup, this is a mutually beneficial arrangement. Trading to Linux will dispatch this organization to the following echelon of business and make Quicker Computing into the juggernaut it tries to be. This relief will be fast and easy as clients will rapidly adjust to the commonality in style and feel of Windows however from Linux. Try not to pass up this opportunity!
