- 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! This document intends to give you some information, resources and terminology to help you discern the similarities and differences between OS X and Ubuntu.
目录
Installing Software
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. See Install Software for more information on how to install software from the repositories and from online sources. FreeSoftwareAlternatives is a good list of Ubuntu Free Software alternatives to Mac and Windows applications.
Alternatives to the iLife Suite
Ubuntu offers a number of open source alternatives for users migrating from Mac OS X who use Apple's iLife suite.
iTunes
Rhythmbox is a music player with similar functionality to iTunes. It also syncs with the iPod. The Magnatune and Jamendo music stores are similar to the iTunes Music store. Proprietary audio codecs such as AAC, WMA, and MP3 can be enabled by following the directions in the Ubuntu Desktop Guide for Multimedia Codecs. Rhythmbox is shipped by default with the Ubuntu GNOME desktop. In addition, DRM Dumpster can be used to remove copy protection from tracks purchased from the iTunes Music Store. Kubuntu users can try Amarok, a powerful KDE app built into Kubuntu, or JuK, a program more similar to iTunes.
iPhoto
F-Spot is a full-featured personal photo management application for the GNOME desktop. F-Spot is shipped by default with the Ubuntu GNOME desktop. Kubuntu users can use the pre-installed DigiKam for similar tasks.
iMovie
Kino is a basic non-linear video editor which supports AVI files and raw DV files. Development for new features in Kino hasceased. Basic single-track video editing can be done with Kino. Many audio and video effects, as well as scene transitions are offered. Supports uploading to blip.tv. Kino is available in the Ubuntu Main repository. Kdenlive is a non-linear video editor for KDE. Kdenlive is intended to be a user-friendly video editor which imports and exports many audio, video, and image formats. It is still early in development and does crash sometimes. Audio and video effects are available. It is often a good idea to capture footage with kino and then edit using kdenlive. kdenlive can be installed from synaptic.
iDVD
DeVeDe is a basic DVD authoring tool for creating DVDs from video clips that will play in PAL and NTSC DVD players. DeVeDe is available in the Ubuntu Universe repository. See DVDAuthoring for details on other solutions for DVD creation.
GarageBand
Jokosher is a multi-track audio recorder and editor. Jokosher offers a user-friendly interface with essential audio editing features such as splitting, trimming, moving, copying, and pasting clips. Jokosher is available in the Ubuntu Universe repository for Ubuntu 6.10 and later Linux MultiMedia Studio is another Garage``Band-like application, available in the Ubuntu Universe repository.
iWeb
Ubuntu doesn't ship with any pre-installed web editing software. However, many are available. The most popular is often Nvu, though it seems to be dead (Kompozer has forked a revived version).
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 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:
- Tar (.tar) archives, including those compressed with
gzip (.tar.gz, .tgz), bzip (.tar.bz, .tbz), bzip2 (.tar.bz2, .tbz2), compress (.tar.Z, .taz) and lzop (.tar.lzo, .tzo)
- Zip archives (.zip)
- Jar archives (.jar, .ear, .war)
- 7z archives (.7z)
- iso9660 CD images (.iso)
- Lha archives (.lzh)
- Single files compressed with gzip (.gz), bzip (.bz), bzip2 (.bz2),
compress (.Z) and lzop (.lzo) No .sit(x) here, and the problem seems to be unsolved yet, e.g.: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=325374
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: The GIMP is a powerful drawing and photo manipulation program. GIMP is installed by default in Ubuntu. Krita is the KOffice painting and image editing program. CinePaint was removed from the Ubuntu Universe repository for 8.04, but may be back soon.
Final Cut Pro
LiVES and Cinelerra are advanced non-linear video editing programs.
Dreamweaver
There is no native software that can compare to Dreamweaver, but many people who use it have no real need of it. In such cases, alternatives include: KompoZer is a fairly basic WYSIWYG HTML editor and content manager. Quanta Plus is a more powerful KDE program available in the Ubuntu Main repository. Radria allows you to build a website online. If none of these suffice, you may buy a Windows version of Dreamweaver, and use it with WINE. Make sure the version you buy is compatible with WINE.
Maya
Blender is a 3D modeling and animation program.
