Abstract

Windows is the most widely used operating system globally. It is known as proprietary software that requires relatively high hardware specifications. Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, as an open-source operating system, offers a legal, lightweight, and efficient alternative. This study aims to examine the feasibility of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS as a supporting operating system for learning activities in the Computer Education Study Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Lambung Mangkurat University. The research employed an experimental method with a one-shot case study design, focusing on two main indicators: software availability and compatibility. Data were collected through curriculum document analysis, questionnaires distributed to course lecturers, and direct software testing on Ubuntu. The findings indicate that, out of 50 required software applications, 32 were directly available and 18 had alternative equivalents. These results suggest that Ubuntu can adequately support the software needs of the Computer Education Study Program. Furthermore, this study produced a practical guideline document for using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS to support academic activities in the Computer Education Program.
