Community

If there is any one word that could sum up Ubuntu, it would be Community. Even the definition of the word "Ubuntu" makes reference to community, and how the betterment of the individual and community are interconnected. Nearly everyone I've met through Ubuntu in the last five years cites the community as the single major reason for their use. In many aspects, Ubuntu is technically equal to its competitors, but nowhere else will you find the same level of community support. Nowhere else will you find the same level of friendship and positive atmosphere.

Over the last five years I have tested many alternate Linux distributions and I have yet to find any other community that is as accepting, or that goes out of their way to invite you into the group.

Simplicity

Ubuntu introduced a level of simplicity to the Linux environment that hasn't been seen before. What has historically been a hobbyist operating system has been tuned and refined to the point that truly anyone can install and use it. Before Ubuntu, a user would need to be familiar with partitioning and package selections (at minimum!) in order to install a machine.
