| − | If you've come to Ubuntu from Mac OS X, welcome, and thanks for installing Ubuntu! OS X and Ubuntu actually have a lot in common, and they're both designed to "just work." This will probably make it easier for you to transition.
| + | #title Switching to Ubuntu from Mac OS X |
| − | | + | == Introduction == |
| − | This document intends to give you some information, resources and terminology to help you discern the similarities and differences between OS X and Ubuntu. | + | This provides information, resources and terminology to help you switch from OS X to Ubuntu. See also the [[UbuntuHelp:SwitchingToUbuntu/|all-systems switching guide]]. |
| − | | + | OS X is an Apple interface wrapped around a Unix core, whereas Ubuntu is a Unix interface wrapped around a Unix core. This makes switching from OS X much easier than switching from Windows, but still quite challenging. For example, the OS X terminal is almost as powerful as the Linux terminal, but you'll need to use far more of that power in Linux. |
| − | === Installing Software ===
| + | == Installing Software == |
| − | | + | The most obvious difference between OS X and Ubuntu is when installing software. In OS X, you usually buy or download programs in `.dmg` files. The Ubuntu equivalent of a `.dmg` file is a `.deb` file, although you'll rarely see one in practice. |
| − | Just like OS X, Ubuntu comes with a useful selection of applications by default, such as an office suite, web browser, multimedia applications and games. Both use software packages to install software. With Ubuntu, however, you usually need to install packages, as opposed to downloading the packages and using them without installation. When installing packages in Ubuntu, you will need to supply your password, just like when installing updates or certain programs in OS X.
| + | Ubuntu has a built-in package management system, and it's recommended to install programs from there. See the [[UbuntuHelp:InstallingSoftware|install software guide]] for more information. |
| − | | + | Programs installed through Ubuntu are guaranteed to work with Ubuntu, and automatically updated when you upgrade to the newest version of Ubuntu. |
| − | Much of the software that you'll find yourself using is contained in the Ubuntu package repositories. That means no longer needing to go online to sites like [http://www.versiontracker.com/ VersionTracker] or [http://www.macupdate.com/ MacUpdate], unless you are looking for something uncommon. If you are looking for something less common, then [http://sourceforge.net/ Sourceforge] is a good website of open source software projects.
| + | In the same way that OS X only runs software designed for OS X, applications must be made for Linux to be able to run on Ubuntu. Most Linux software is available for free over the Internet. The following pages feature a small selection of popular applications available for free in Ubuntu: |

| − | | + | === The Terminal === |
| − | === Alternatives to the iLife Suite ===
| + | Linux includes a terminal, very similar to the terminal in OS X. Many Linux guides ask you to run commands in the terminal, which should be available from ''Applications > Accessories > Terminal''. See [[UbuntuHelp:UsingTheTerminal|Using the Terminal]] for more information. |
| − | | + | |
| − | Ubuntu offers a number of open source alternatives for users migrating from Mac OS X who use Apple's iLife suite.

| − | ==== iTunes Alternative ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [http://www.gnome.org/projects/rhythmbox/ Rhythmbox] is a music player capable of scanning and indexing the user's library upon first running the application. Basic functions like playlist management, DAAP music sharing over a network, docked playback-view, and podcast feeds are supported. Additionally, the iPod is supported for syncing music. For obtaining music content from the web, both a [http://magnatune.com/ Magnatune] store and [http://www.jamendo.com/en/ Jamendo] channel are available via the plugins menu (Edit-->Plugins...). It should be noted that Rhythmbox does not ship with support for proprietary audio codecs such as aac, wma, and mp3. However, these audio formats can be enabled by following the directions in the Ubuntu Desktop Guide for [https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/codecs.html Multimedia Codecs]. Rhythmbox is shipped by default with the Ubuntu GNOME desktop.

| − | [http://www.kdenlive.org/ Kdenlive] is a non-linear video editor for KDE. Currently, Kdenlive is not available in the Ubuntu repositories, so it must be [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Kdenlive/Getting_and_installing#Installing_from_source_code compiled from source code]. Compiling source code can be difficult for new Ubuntu users, so Kdenlive is not recommended until an installable package is available from the Ubuntu repositories. Kdenlive is intended to be a user-friendly video editor which imports and exports many audio, video, and image formats. Audio and video effects are available, such as blur, sepia, volume, and brightness. Kdenlive imports video from firewire DV cameras. Scene transitions like crossfade, push, and picture-in-picture add flair to your home movies.

| − | In OS X, the main types of compressed archives for files and folders are .dmg (Disk Image) and .sit/.sitx (Stuffit). Ubuntu can't natively read .dmg archives, but the free [http://vu1tur.eu.org/tools/ dmg2iso] utility can convert .dmg archives to .iso. Ubuntu can read .sit, .sitx, .zip, .tar, .gz, .tar.gz, .bzip and a number of other archive formats.
