| + | #title Switching to Ubuntu from Mac OS X |
| − | If you have come to Ubuntu from Mac OS X, welcome, and thank you for installing Ubuntu!
| + | == 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]]. |
| − | === Installing Software ===
| + | 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. |
| − | Ubuntu comes with a useful selection of applications by default, such as an office suite, web browser, multimedia applications and games. Both Mac OS X and Ubuntu use software packages to install software. Ubuntu uses a package management program to download and install programs, as opposed to downloading disk images in Mac OS X. As with Mac OS X, it is necessary to supply an administrator password to install software in Ubuntu.
| + | == Installing Software == |
| − | See [[UbuntuHelp:InstallingSoftware|Install Software]] for more information on how to install software from the repositories and from online sources. | + | 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 Linux equivalent of a `.dmg` file is a `.deb` file, although you'll rarely see one in practice. |
| − | [[UbuntuHelp:FreeSoftwareAlternatives|FreeSoftwareAlternatives]] is a good list of Ubuntu Free Software alternatives to Mac and Windows applications. | + | 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. |
| − | === Alternatives to the iLife Suite ===
| + | Programs installed through Ubuntu are guaranteed to work with Ubuntu, and automatically updated when you upgrade to the newest version of Ubuntu. |
| − | Ubuntu offers a number of open source alternatives for users migrating from Mac OS X who use Apple's iLife suite.
| + | 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: |
| − | ==== iTunes ====
| + | <<Include(../PopularPrograms)>> |
| − | [http://www.gnome.org/projects/rhythmbox/ Rhythmbox] is a music player with similar functionality to iTunes. It also syncs with the iPod.

In addition, [http://www.burningthumb.com/drmdumpster.html DRM Dumpster] can be used to remove copy protection from tracks purchased from the iTunes Music Store.
| + | === The Terminal === |
| − | [http://getsongbird.com/ Songbird] is also an up-and-coming player in the "iTunes replacement" category. As new versions are released, the GUI and feature set moves closer to that of iTunes. Also, shortly after release they are [http://www.getdeb.net/app/Songbird packaged up at getdeb.net] to make installation just a couple of clicks away!
| + | 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. |
| − | Songbird is "based on" Firefox, so it shares the same kind of [http://addons.songbirdnest.com/ Add-on community] as Firefox. There are Add-Ons that enable [http://wiki.songbirdnest.com/Docs/Device_Support/IPod_Device_Support iPod Device Support], provide "[http://addons.songbirdnest.com/addon/238 Cover Flow]" functionality, and [http://addons.songbirdnest.com/addon/102 album art fetching] from Amazon and Last.fm. As an example of how the best Add-ons are rolled into the core software, [http://addons.songbirdnest.com/addon/102 Album Art Manager] will soon become part of the core functionality of Songbird.

| + | |

| + | |
| − | === Archive Formats ===
| + | |
| − | In OS X, the main types of compressed archives for files and folders are .dmg (Disk Image) and .sit/.sitx (Stuffit). Ubuntu cannot natively read .dmg archives, but the [http://vu1tur.eu.org/tools/ dmg2iso] utility can convert a few .dmg archives to .iso. Ubuntu can read .sit, .sitx, .zip, .tar, .gz, .tar.gz, .bzip and a number of other archive formats using its built in archiving tools.
| + | |
| − | '''comment from HenningSprang:''' the package info for file-roller, the standard archive Manager on Ubuntu says:

| − | File-roller supports the following formats:
| + | |

| + | |
| − | === Alternatives to Professional Creative Applications ===
| + | |
| − | ==== Adobe Photoshop ====
| + | |
| − | There is no native software that is quite like Photoshop, but the vast majority of people who use it have no real need of it. Here are some native alternatives, which can also do some things that Photoshop can't:
| + | |
| − | [http://www.gimp.org The GIMP] is a powerful drawing and photo manipulation program. GIMP is installed by default in Ubuntu.

| + | |
| − | ==== Dreamweaver ==== | + | |

| + | |
| − | [http://www.kompozer.net KompoZer] is a fairly basic WYSIWYG HTML editor and content manager.
| + | |
| − | [http://quanta.kdewebdev.org Quanta Plus] is a more powerful KDE program available in the Ubuntu Main repository.
| + | |
| − | [http://radria.sqlfusion.com Radria] allows you to build a website online.
| + | |
| − | If none of these suffice, you may buy a Windows version of Dreamweaver, and [http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=183 use it with WINE]. Make sure the version you buy is compatible with WINE.

| − | ==== Maya ====
| + | |
