The best open source operating system!!!

  • July 30, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Ubuntu for over 10 years and I have had zero problems. I have never had to format the laptop because it was running slow like it happens with Windows. I have only formatted when I had to change the version of Ubuntu LTS, that is, every 4 years!!!!
What do you dislike about the product?
Absolutely nothing, plus everything is very configurable, you can adapt it to different desktops, it starts up very quickly and especially if you have it installed on an SSD. I have three laptops and on all three I have Ubuntu installed, on one of them with an SSD and it starts up in just 3 seconds.... 1-2-3!!!!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves many problems, primarily because it is open source, meaning you don't pay anything for it. It has a very large community that helps you with everything. There are large groups on Telegram where they assist you, the installation is very simple, etc., etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Really try and install this open-source operating system, you will forget about paying money for a license, nor will you pay for Microsoft Office since it comes with LibreOffice integrated, which is the same and compatible with all documents, Word, Excel, etc. It is very fast in execution, very lightweight, and I am pleasantly happy to have been using it for over 10 years!!

    Computer Software

One of the easiest Linux OS to use

  • July 25, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like so much that's so similar to windows talking about the user interface, that's easy to navigate and use and a windows user can change to Ubuntu without lot of issues. You can find in Ubuntu a "Windows" interface with a lot of customization. All of that with the advantages of free source and Linux OS, it saved me lot of times when windows was not able to delete certain files that with Ubuntu was easy job. And it's free!
What do you dislike about the product?
I hate it so much to install drivers, it's not as easy as in windows and you need to download drivers and package with prompt,and it freezes sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used it for lot of projects in my computer engineering career, to simulate 3D environments with physics through qt editor based on opengl.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are a windows user and you consider Ubuntu or KDE, pick Ubuntu, it's so easy to do and you'll find the transition between windows and Linux not a big deal. I think that's a really friendly OS.

What do you like best about the product?
This is the best OS that experiencied users can use. If you don't know much about computers, you may like more a windows, but if you have experience and know how to use this OS it lets you do a lot of things.

The worst thing is that you can't use all the programs because some are only for windows.

With ubuntu we don't have to pay the licence of Windows and we can save money.
