ReplyDeleteI want to start using linux free OS. But im having hard time deciding which OS to choose. I mean which distributive. A friend of mine uses Debian, and he advised me to use Ubuntu. he said it is easy for a begginer. and has a nice and easy interface. And he told me that there is a linux OS for muslims- Sabily. Im happy that i found one of its developers.)
He advised me to use Ubuntu, and as a muslim, and as a support for Sabily developing jama'at i wanted to use Sabily.
But i have some questions.
I never used linux based OS. always used windows. I will be happy to throw windows OS into a trashbox, but for some of applications i often use(like 3ds Max, Adobe after effects etc.) i need to keep windows.
My questions are: Is Sabily similar to Ubuntu or not? and does it support all the applications that run on ubuntu and other debian distributives. and does it have a Russian language support. If it has, i will promote it to my friends here(in Dagestan). i will advise them to use Sabily, inshaAllah.
Jazakalahu khairan akhee. And wafaqakallahu in your developing a useful OS.
Wa alaykom assalam wa rahmato Allah wa barakatoh akhi,
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome brother, I am very happy to read your comment, sorry because I respond you late (because I was very busy). Any way I hope that you get the response you want also I hope that you contribute in Sabily development and translation into other languages (like yours Russian).
For your question: yes Sabily is similar on ubuntu, in fact Sabily is based on ubuntu, so it is ubuntu + a lot of other things (Islamic Software, Educational Software, Scientific Software and a lot of other tools...), so it is ubuntu+ ;) and so it supports all the applications that run on ubuntu and other debian distributives.
For Russian language unfortunately no, we need resources (human resources of course) we need people for translation, you can help if you want of course, and you are welcome to do that, we know that millions of Muslims use Russian language..so just start with us :)
