Long gone are the days when you had to compile your own kernel in order to run Linux, while Linux came with many advantages, there was a steep learning curve for general users and therefore it made its name in the enthusiast community. With the introduction of Ubuntu, a Debian based Linux distribution, Ubuntu brought in a lot of simplicity to the Linux environment leading to greater adoption of the operating system. Planning to use Hyzign’s Digital Signage for your industrial needs, Ubuntu can be the best operating system for your media box.
