The argument here that exists is that Ubuntu has no historic significance or cultural value. Its source and origin cannot be identified as it is still believed to be a discourse that was just invented for the sake of it. This is why many critics have gone to great lengths to comment that this terminology is empty and does not have any concrete relevance or even origination and should be discarded instead of being commercialized or made popular. The societies that practiced Ubuntu cannot be found either which further weaken the position of this term and its emergence as a value.
However, I believe that Ubuntu should not be discarded only because it has no historic value or origin because even without these fundamental aspects the term and concept has emerged as a universal African humanist value. When Africans could not oppose the colonialism, they clung to Ubuntu as a critique and this ideology has been with them in

This can be seen by the fact that humanism believes staunchly in predestination and that the fate of a person is sealed which cannot be changed in the course of a lifetime. Whereas, the Muslim phase of humanism provides a more logical approach which suggests that the concept of predestination does exist but it can be changed through efforts. This approach is not only more logical but also more rational in terms of its existence. It has been said by the Muslim phase of humanism that “men are distinct creatures, separate from the rest of Creation, due to the fact that God gave them an effective power (Qudra), once and for all time, by which they can choose to act freely”. This shows that the concept of humanism is flawed and man has power over their actions because of which their fate could possibly not be predetermined. Their destination lies in the path that they choose after rational or irrational
Linux is the most important free software it has developed into a an operating for business , education , and personal productivity. Linux is so different because of its free implementation of Unix
Linux is a free open-source software that anybody can use . Most people use computers don't even know that Linux exists. Most people just use whatever is already downloaded onto the computer. Or if they buy computer that has no software on it they would buy Windows or Mac since it's displayed in many stores. Difference between Linux and windows / Macs is that you can download a version that specifically displays OS that relates to what you want to use it for. For example there's different distributions that are customized to be only used for editing software. or on the other hand many people just want to use the terminal or start with a o s that is used for coding. Either way you can find many different types of Linux that you can download anywhere on the internet. all of these being free. this is one of the main
Linux, or what is here and there known as Unix on a lesser scale is considered and institutionalized on the premise of an open source framework and free for conveyance (Eckert, 2016). The principle reason we see Linux utilized on a constrained premise is because we live in a prevalently Windows Operating System world. Another component conflicting with Linux is that being open source, you need to go get it and really put it on the PC yourself as a client and this is something that numerous clients are somewhat hesitant to attempt and fulfill. A third variable that
“The church (…) individualism was identical with arrogance, rebellion, and sin”(doc 1). This shows that actions like rebellion and sin relate with individualism, which is just like Humanism. “In true order that mortal man should first care for mortal things”(doc 4). This just shows how important things have meant to people, and to respect person’s property. Humanism brought the idea of civilized people with great ideas into the world. Before the Renaissance, religion was everything, when the Renaissance came, the people were exposed to the arts and
One of the good thing about it is that it is free to use and distribute to your other computers. Linux is not a fully operation system, and it needs additional software in order for it to work to its full potential. There are so many different packages, that there will be one that will fit you needs. Even though it is not a fully operation system, and can be loaded on most computer except Mac, is still only have just a few virus problems, good graphic interface and still good for use, but not much
Because Linux has much smaller number of users then it's rivals, so many software companies stay away from Linux, which makes finding applications to suit your needs much harder. Another issue with Linux is the lack of drivers, because some of the hardware manufacturers do not write drivers for Linux. Users who are more inclined towards the safety of their computer then a better GUI will see Linux more appealing than its counterparts. Linux's share of the desktop market will increase due to more software houses' inclination towards it and a better understanding among the people for the safety of their computers. cloud computing is much more cost efficient than conventional storage facilities. while providing almost infinite data storage, it
Man decides for himself what is right and wrong, and is given the will to change his mind at any point. This goes hand in hand with the whole humanist belief and that man is in control of his own destiny as well as the principles he chooses to live by daily.
Humanism is a way of life that revolves around the interests of people. It stresses human worth and building up self-realization. Humanism was developed in Greece and Rome, and is generally due to philosophy and current literary works during 1400-1650. It is termed "Classical Humanism" because it was born during that time period. Classical Humanism had an impact during the Renaissance Era.
You can download many utilities from the Internet. Examples of utilities are cp (copies a file), ls (lists information about files), ssh (securely connects to a remote computer), and df (lists information about free space on system devices such as hard disks).
Why is humanism such a big factor in past and present society? Humanism is an outlook of thought attaching prime importance to human rather than divine or supernatural matters. For the Renaissance, humanism was a big cultural movement that brought thought of Greek and Roman thoughts. Humanism was expressed in the Renaissance through the works of art, music, and literature. During the Renaissance, church music had an a big impact because a lot of people were hardcore religious figures.
This paper analyzes and compares the differences between the Windows and Linux’s operating system in an enterprise. It emphasizes the features in these two operating system such as history, cost, security, user-friendliness, performance, and future trends. It shows how impactful these features can be when an enterprise chooses an operating system. The research in this paper highlights the pros and cons of an enterprise using one operating system or the other. It directs the readers to have a better understanding on which operating system is better for specific instances. Readers will have an enhance perception on Windows and Linux and the platforms they serve. In our paper we try to fully analyze Windows and Linux’s operating system, so an enterprise can choose the best operating system for themselves.
There are advantages and disadvantages of Linux operating system. The first advantages of Linux operating system is it is free to obtain [3]. Unlike Microsoft, Linux distribution can be installed on more than one computer without any cost charged [3]. Besides that, Linux can run perfect on old computers and enable users to browse the Internet, email, play games, create and edit documents and others [3]. In security aspect, Linux is much stronger than Windows. This is because Linux uses smart authorization management [5], which requires user to authorize any action that might harm their computer by entering the password [5]. By this way, users are less likely to be tricked into installing malware and running virus programs [5]. In addition, if user faces any technical problem, they can visit any of the Linux online forums and post the
Both Windows and Linux come in many different forms. All the different forms of Windows come from Microsoft, the various distributions of Linux come from different companies (ex. Red Hat, SuSE, Linspire, Ubuntu, Mandriva, Knoppix, etc). Windows has two main lines: “Win9x”, which is consists of Windows 95, 98, 98SecondEdition and ME, and “NT class” which consists of Windows NT, 200 and XP. On a side note, Windows first had version 3.x which was made before Windows 95 by a couple of years. The various types of Linux are called distributions. All the Linux distributions released around the same time frame will use the same kernel, which are the guts of the OS. They will differ with the add-on software provided,
There is a Xhosa expression associated with Ubuntu which says: “Umunutungumuntungabantu”. In English this means: “A person is a person through other people” (Sigger, Polak&Pennink, 2010). Ubuntu means humanness and it is associated with respect, solidarity, helpfulness, care, community and compassion. It is when people look out for others and not just for themselves. LovemoreMgibi came up with the concept of Ubuntu which today is a well-known concept in Africa (Heuvel, 2008 cited in Sigger et al, 2010).
Three operating systems discuss in this paper each have their advantages and disadvantages from one another. The biggest advantage for Microsoft is the widespread use and compatibility with most every type of program out there. If you 're a Linux fan then you appreciate not only the price which is usually free but also that it is
