Description
Windows is the most widely used operating system globally. It is known as a paid software that requires relatively high hardware specifications. Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, as an open-source operating system, offers a legal, lightweight, and efficient alternative. This study aims to evaluate the potential of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS as a supporting operating system for learning activities in the Computer Education Study Program at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Lambung Mangkurat University. The research method used is an experimental approach with a one-shot case study design, focusing on two main indicators: software availability and compatibility. Data were collected through curriculum document analysis, questionnaires distributed to course lecturers, and direct software testing on Ubuntu. The findings indicate that out of 50 required software applications, 32 are natively available, while 18 are available as alternatives. These results suggest that Ubuntu can meet the software needs for learning activities in the Computer Education Study Program. This study also produced a practical guide document for using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS to support academic activities in the program.
