Easiest to use Linux Operations System

  • October 10, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
If you need a Linux operating system that is easy to use and requires very little user training over Windows, Ubuntu is the distribution to go with. Ubuntu has made it easy to switch from Windows to Linux.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu has tried to abstract too much away from the user. While it is great that they have made things easy to use, i wish they would allow more granular configuration through CLI vs making it more difficult to do in their GUI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Installing and running programs / scripts that require linux and cannot run on Windows. It has allowed us to efficiently run these programs.

I would recommend this platform over Centos, Redhat, Oracle Linux Etc for end users. It is much easier to use.

Ubuntu, the best known distro?

  • August 21, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu has perhaps the best name recognition systems of any Linux distro. Coupled with vast amounts of community assistance make Ubuntu a strong choice for Linux users at all levels.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasional issues with drivers, still a higher level of technical skills the moment you go beyond the most basic usage and the hardcore open-source implementations some-times prevent full performance (especially Nvidia drivers.) There are still some areas where the software is not as good on Linux as on Windows or require alternative packages which are not as polished. I also find that it is not as robust to tinkering as Windows, although this may be linked to my personal experience levels.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Linux is great and very powerful. The level of self-reliance is greater as well.

Most well-known and stable Linux distribution.

  • August 14, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is the easiest Linux distribution to use, with variants for different PC requirements such as Lubuntu and Kubuntu. Each distribution has a different desktop and requires fewer resources, while following the same stable and tested Kernel to provide stability and security to the user.

I like that I can install Microsoft Windows programs with Wine and PlayOnLinux; the installation and configuration are very easy.

Convert it into a web server with all the necessary tools to have services at home or work with FTP, SSH, Cloud, and PHP.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu becomes slow over time, it is difficult to optimize it to run more smoothly. I don't have a guest session, so I can't lend my personal computer to others without giving them access to my personal session. The configuration of local area networks to communicate with computers that have Windows installed is complicated and inefficient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have Ubuntu installed on my 3 personal computers and at my work, saving money on proprietary licenses, I enjoy all the free programs available in the software center with its easy search and installation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are new to the Linux world, I recommend this excellent distribution, it adapts very well to new computers and its other variants to computers with fewer resources. Try Ubuntu, the most stable and well-known version of Linux and you will see that you will be delighted with this wonderful 100% Free operating system!!

Ubuntu The most popular operating system in the world.

What do you like best about the product?
I like Ubuntu because it is super fast and easy to use, it is open source and above all it is free, you do not require a license or subscription to use it.
It is based on Linux so virus attacks are almost nil.
It provides you with a wide range of catalogs of programs ready to be used in the educational environment.
A lightweight operating system.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am disgusted that when you are new with Ubuntu the application becomes a bit confusing, you have to spend some time to understand this operating system, and to be able to apply its full potential.
I have no complaints about the rest.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We solved the problem of obsolete equipment, Ubuntu is very similar to Windows, at present, so it serves us for the same functions that Windows XP serves us. In fact, Ubuntu is a faster and more effective operating system than Windows, and there are no existing viruses for operating systems from Linux.
Thanks to Ubuntu we solved the budget problem.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have old computers, I recommend Ubuntu, you can improve the speed of your computers, it has nothing to envy Windows, it is a stable and secure operating system.
