'''Cubuntu''' is an [[Ubuntu (operating_system)|Ubuntu]]-based [[Linux distribution]]<ref>{{cite web | url=https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DerivativeTeam/Derivatives#Customizations | title=Customization Ubuntu }}</ref> for desktop and laptop computers that uses the [[Cinnamon (software)|Cinnamon interface]] in place of Ubuntu's [[Unity (user interface)|Unity interface]]. Designed to be easy to install and use, by default Cubuntu includes and mix of [[free software]] and non-free [[proprietary software]], including proprietary drivers and the [[freeware]] [[Google Chrome]] browser.

==History==
Cubuntu was started in 2012 by Eric Kranich in [[France]] as a non-official Ubuntu derivative.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/cubuntu | title=Ubuntu Doc fr }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://erickranich.wordpress.com/2013/11/13/cubuntu-v113-ubuntu-14-04-cinnamon-2/ | title=Eric Kranich }}</ref> Kranich preferred the Cinnamon interface over Unity and decided to develop a derivative using Cinnamon.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://la-vache-libre.org/cubuntu-mettez-un-peu-de-canelle-cinnamon-dans-ubuntu/ | title=Vache Libre }}</ref> Cinnamon was originally created by Clément Lefèbvre for [[Linux Mint]] and then recompiled for use in other distributions. Since its inception Cubuntu has also offered additional desktops including [[MATE (software)|MATE]], [[Openbox]], [[GNOME Shell]] and Unity.

Cubuntu has some popularity in its native France, and has come pre-installed on laptops there.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.totalping.com/noticias-enviadas/3134862615/cubuntu-13-10-ubuntu-con-cinnamon/ | title=Tp Spanich }}</ref> Cubuntu is in limited use with an estimated 70,000 downloads by [[SourceForge]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/cubuntu/files/stats/timeline?dates=2013-05-20+to+2099-12-31|title=Download Statistics: All Files|author=cubuntu|work=sourceforge.net|accessdate=18 May 2015}}</ref> As a result, Cubuntu is a relatively unknown Linux distribution.

== Features ==
Cubuntu includes the entire Ubuntu operating system.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Cubuntu | title=Wiki Ubuntu }}</ref> plus additional non-free software such as Google Chrome and [[Skype]].<ref name="Spec">{{cite web | url=http://www.cubuntu.fr/?q=node/8 | title=Profitez du meilleur d'Ubuntu avec Unity en version améliorée +  Cinnamon + Gnome, OpenBox & de très nombreux Extras |publisher = cubuntu.fr |accessdate = 27 March 2014 }}</ref> Cubuntu also includes many non-free drivers for wireless cards and an MS-DOS converter.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.geekologie.me/2013/11/cubuntu-pense-aux-utilisateurs-de.html | title=MS DOS Converter }}</ref>

Cubuntu also offers many non-free software packages, such as [[MP3]]{{Fact|reason=inclusion of non-free MP3 codecs|date=August 2014}}, [[DivX]] codecs, [[Adobe Flash Player]] and drivers for [[NVIDIA]] graphics cards.<ref name="Spec" />

Cubuntu originally was available only in [[French language|French]]-only operating system, although other language packs could be added<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cubuntu.fr/?q=node/27|title=English version Donwload|work=cubuntu.fr|accessdate=18 May 2015}}</ref>after installation.<ref>Softpedia [http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Operating-Systems/Linux-Distributions/Cubuntu-102620.shtml An Ubuntu based distribution with Cinnamon, GNOME Classic, Openbox, LXDE, and Unity]</ref> Beginning with 15.04, separate English and French downloads were made available.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/cubuntu/files/?source=navbar|title=Cubuntu c'est 100% Ubuntu avec Mate & Cinnamon +100 Extras|work=SourceForge.net|accessdate=23 May 2015}}</ref>
