Uncom OS is an open-source Linux distribution based on Ubuntu, Debian, and Arch Linux. The developer of the system is the Russian company Advilabs-Rus LLC. [1] Included in the Russian Software Registry, [2] [3] It has its own repositories on the territory of the Russian Federation. It is a paid Linux distribution that provides unlimited technical support to its users.
The system is focused on using the capabilities of a modern Linux distribution without having to study the features of Linux systems. [4]
The system is used by many organizations as a replacement for imported operating systems, in particular, Uncom OS is used at Moscow State University [5] and the St. Petersburg Technopark. [6]
Some of the distinctive features of the system: [7] [8]
In addition to technical features, all users are also provided with unlimited technical support through various channels, including through the Telegram messenger. [9]
The distribution is freely distributed for review during the trial period. [10] After the trial period expires, the distribution blocks the operation of some of the functionality, for example, the app store. The system is activated with a unique digital license key.
Types of licenses: [11]
OS licenses are perpetual and can be applied on another device after deactivation on the previous one. The distribution package, along with the digital license key, is also distributed through large retail chains. [7]
Chronology of major changes: [8]
Uncom OS uses a new approach to monetization for the Linux community, distributing the distribution on a paid basis, even for personal use. This leads to discussions on the ethics of monetization of Linux distributions. At the same time, the commercial distribution of distributions does not violate the GPL license and the principles of free software, [13] and many common distributions, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Astra Linux, also adhere to a policy of paid support for versions of their operating systems and utilities, but unlike Uncom OS, they do not distribute their products to private users and share the open source code of their operating systems and utilities for review.
