Here is the full series available to read on Mangadex (under a CC license), and direct link to Chapter 1 (of 16).

If you had never heard of this series before, Ubunchu! was published in the Official Ubuntu Magazine Japan periodically between the years of 2008-2013 (with some digital extras afterwards found in chapter 16 on mangadex). The series was released using a CC license and subsequent translations are also CC (plus the translators have directly communicated with the original author).

Praise open licenses

Chapters 1-8 were translated years ago, but the final chapter was only translated just a couple days ago.

Due to when it was written and published, it is a bit of a time capsule. You can relive some of the formative linux and Ubuntu events of the 21st century such as:

Unity Desktop

Unity is an alien

The rise of linux mint

Linux Mint as a JK

OpenOffice & LibreOffice

Battle lines are drawn in the office suite war to come

Ubuntu Touch

Ubuntu Touch, the third pillar of the mobile OS ecosystem

    Kiriha (the character in the lead image) is a Windows advocate in the story. She is brutal…
