OMG! Ubuntu! is the web’s most popular Linux-orientated ‘web magazine’ and top destination for the latest Ubuntu news.
The site was founded back 2009 as a way to ‘keep track’ of nifty Ubuntu tips and tweaks. In the decade since, the site has evolved into an active, vocal and prominent member of the online Linux community.
What do we do?
- We cover the latest Ubuntu news and developments
- Review and showcase the latest apps (and their changes)
- Give opinion and insight on various issues facing Ubuntu and Linux
- Interview members of the Ubuntu community and beyond
- Produce informative tutorials and guides (in both text and video)
If you plan on citing, reference or referring to this site some brand related fluff follows:
Writing our name
You’re free to write the name of this site in citations and sources however you like, but generally speaking it should be written as OMG! <space> Ubuntu!
Two separate words, two exclamations marks.
OMG! Ubuntu! Logos
We refreshed the branding of the site in 2019 to be more consistent, more modern, and more “us”.
You can access high quality .png files of our logo and the call out on Google Drive:
