Sabily, the Islaamic Ubuntu

Sabily and its Use

Sabily is an “Islamized” version of Ubuntu. Ubuntu is itself a distribution of linux serving as an operating system that can be installed on your computer just like Microsoft Windows. An important difference between Windows and Linux distros is that (almost) all Linux versions are free and open-source while Windows isn’t.

Linux distributions do not support (.exe) files; however, there is a project called Wine that is continuously being improved allowing support for (.exe) files in Linux distros.

Sabily is just a modified version of Ubuntu customized to have an Islaamic look and feel, and packed with Islaamic and educational software. You can use Sabily as an independent operating system on your computer instead of Windows.
