abarbarian Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) Surfin as you do, I chanced upon this titbit, https://openlibra.com/en/collection/search/category/ubunchu_spanish_magazine A magna all about Ubuntu. How quaint, but only five episodes --- hmmmm there must be more. A search threw up this very interesting article about Ubuntu in popular culture media. 2004 to 20.04 LTS: Ubuntu in popular culture Interesting but not that much information on ubunchu. Maybe Wikipedia can help, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubunchu! Plenty of information but no more episodes to read. Only one of the three links at the bottom of the site was any use, English translations (chapters 9-14) Ah ha this site has episodes from 9 to 14 and a link to the first eight found at the original translation site. https://gitlab.com/ubunchu-translators/ubunchu At this site you can download one .pdf file with episodes 1 to 8 in English and Japanese. I use GV for reading PDF's. Quote GNU GV allows viewing and navigating PostScript and PDF documents on an X display, by providing a graphical user interface for the Ghostscript interpreter. GV is an improved derivation of Timothy O. Theisen's Ghostview, originally developed by Johannes Plass. As to translating episode 15 and the extras it seems that there is some hope as there is still interest as of 2021 at a ubunchu translation site, https://groups.google.com/g/ubunchu-translators/c/q_uISc4czYo So I can get to read chapters 1 to 14 but only with some fiddling around. Can I find a way to easily do this ? Maybe this site will solve the problem, https://archive.org/details/ubunchu-ch-1-11/page/n1/mode/2up So so close but no banana. Only 11 chapters. Maybe someone will upload the missing three one day. Finally one site to view all chapters You do have to scroll through the chapter which is a bit of a pain on a normal monitor. Luckily for me with one click I can alter my monitor to suit such a task. So there you are folks yet another bit of obscure penguin lore. Happy reading folks. Oh yes if you do decide to read the manga then this tip will be useful. Edited February 21, 2023 by abarbarian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not read all the chapters but I did read a few. Seemed to me that it was created with a love of Ubuntu mainly but also a love of open source in general. Delivered in a way that would appeal to a mainly younger audience. the content is pretty educational and not too heavy on the bashing Windows side. I think it was a neat attempt to spread the word in a fun way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(うぶんちゅ！) is a comedy manga serialized in ASCII Media Works’ Weekly ASCII and Ubuntu Magazine Japan between May 2008 and June 2013. Its name is a play on words combining the Linux distribution Ubuntu and a Japanese onomatopoeia for a kiss, chu (ちゅ). Plot The story follows the activities of the three members of the Ichinomiya Prefectural High School’s system administration club (part of the wider IT club). Each chapter is focussed on a certain aspect of the Ubuntu operating system or a related topic, such as command-line interfaces, input methods, Linux Mint, or software licensing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phew for a minute I was worried that you might think I was very odd. Mind you, you are in a minority there as nearly everyone I know thinks I am a very odd person indeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
