UBUNTU is the most stable OS I have ever used.

  • November 15, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
1- Free
2- 2 versions per year, April and October
3- Daily and weekly updates
4- Adapts itself to your existing hardware so it adapts to your computer, without forcing you to minimal hardware requirements
5- Comes packed with a lot of software, like Open Office, a set of apps for young ones, etc.
6- Has a huge community to back you up, and all for free
7- Very stable and secure.
What do you dislike about the product?
Most of the people I know use Windows, and even at my office, we all have to use windows. Compatibility is not a strong suit yet, but hopefully, one day, I shall be able to use UBUNTU SOLELY, and not have to jump from one computer to another.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Some computers are a bit outdated and cannot be upgraded and we face some issues trying to install Windows 10 on them so, in order to keep using them longer, we install UBUNTU and it runs like magic on them: UBUNTU adapts itself to your existing hardware and does not force you to have a minimal setting. This is a major plus in UBUNTU's favor, and I think this is what gives it an edge over others and why, in my opinion, UBUNTU will become soon enough the standard in OS.
A lot of my USB keys develop problems and windows refuses to recognize them. I use UBUNTU to troubleshoot and revive them. Also, since UGUNTU does not contract viruses accidentally, I use it as my internet server gateway for more added protection. The stability it offers is exemplary. I just wish other OS would follow in its footsteps.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
UBUNTU can be a bit intimidating at first but, once you get used to it, trust me: it will be the only OS you want to ever use. Almost all applications have a LINUX version that you can use or you can just install "WINE" and run original apps under UBUNTU.
Even if you have an old machine, do not worry: UBUNTU will re-compile itself to better run on it. It adapts itself to your hardware and will work like magic on almost anything you install it on.

Ubuntu is an excellent way to use Linux for beginners. It is better than Windows in speed for programming. It has been around for a long time, which speaks to its quality and usability.

I have been using this software since high school computer science class intermittently, and I find it easy to use now, but originally I found it quite difficult to install or understand. With a few years of experience, I find it easier to use.

Ubuntu solves some of the issues with speed that I have with windows. While setting it up makes the process slower, I find that when I need large computing power, I turn to ubuntu.

One of the most favourite OS!

  • November 12, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is one of the most favorite OS (Operating Systems) based from Linux. It's an opensourse OS (Operating System). I like the Desktop Environment of Ubuntu. Ubuntu supports every smart app (Software or Applications). I can easily operate ubuntu because its UI (User Interface) is so perfect for individual users. I can easily use every programming apps very perfectly, Also. can use many browsers (Google Chrome, Firefox, Chromium, Brave etc.). If I need to use Windows (It's an operating system powered by Microsoft Corporation) based Applications, I can use them on Ubuntu! Because Ubuntu supports cross-platform software using some 3rd party app (Wine). Also, the pre-installed Applications help me a lot. I can create, edit and customize documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and paint using their pre-installed 3rd party Office software. Also, it supports all of the files for computing also supports media files. So it helps me to sort out my every individual work and official business work. Ubuntu is totally free of cost. Also, you can connect their millions of communities and can access the global resources built by ubuntu. It makes your life so easy and comfortable. Also, it secures all of your data because no one has malware or viruses attack Ubuntu (a Linux-based operating system).
What do you dislike about the product?
Actually, I dislike the Extention ecosystem of Ubuntu. Ubuntu is unable to use all of the software. Sometimes need third-party apps to access some software that is based on windows or make OS! Also need to fix some appearance issues for Dark or Light mode. Also need to fix the cross-platform ecosystem. Some apps not working perfectly or not responding.,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Actually, it helps me to sort out daily basic work. I can easily use open-source software. Without paying any organization or company I can use the software I mean the Ubuntu OS! It's very helpful for me to sort out my daily work, docs, presentation, spreadsheet. Overall it's such a great OS!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I wanna share my experience. Ubuntu is such a great OS (Operating Systems). You can easily use Ubuntu and if you wanna shift from another OS, defiantly you most like the Ubuntu OS features and it can help you to give a smooth performance. Also, it helps you to secure everything I mean every file, important media, and your data is protected on Ubuntu.

Ubuntu is a great OS for development.

I like Ubuntu for its development-friendly environment and free open-source tools available. It's a great and free alternative to MacOS for development purposes and day-to-day tasks.

Using Ubuntu requires some getting used to. Simple tasks in other more user-friendly OSes might seem a little complex in Ubuntu. Building up Linux skills and being comfortable with the CLI is an absolute must if you want to get the most out of the OS.

I'm running Ubuntu on a VM under Windows and use it for development purposes when my Windows machine is just not cutting it. Ubuntu is helping me to be more productive and accomplish things quickly when it comes to using CLI tools.

Free alternative to macOS when it comes to meeting development needs.

Daily Ubuntu user review

  • November 03, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is the best OS of linux , it is the sweet spot between windows and Linux , very user-friendly and easy to use, I am using ubuntu in my organization and I have not a single complaint about the user experience that Ubuntu provide to its end users. It is a very lightweight OS loads fast on power-on and closes instantly on power-off. If you are using SSD on ubuntu that will be hell-fast. I use VS code and IntelliJ on Ubuntu to develop web applications and it runs those software very smoothly.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be tricky to install ubuntu for new users, who are new to Linux environment, software updates are limited to ubuntu which can sometimes be a tedious task. otherwise, ubuntu does give any chance of complaint to its users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a software developer, I use ubuntu terminal and other apps like VS code to develop code, test the application, run the servers and ubuntu provides a really good experience in doing all those things. Due to its lightweight OS it runs very smoothly over the system and consumes very less resources to run OS so you have more free resources to do your tasks and all.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend ubuntu to users who use the terminal often and want some good UI experience also , it is a lightweight OS it so it runs smoothly.

Ubuntu has become the corporate de facto standard for Linux

  • October 31, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is well supported, stable, and its popularity attracts developers to do more on the platform. It can be used for standalone application use but is also essential in creating target builds for embedded devices. It is also free, a tremendous advantage for individuals versus Windows or Mac OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
Even with years of experience with Linux, I sometimes struggle with the installation of applications. Specifically, there are several methods of application installation depending upon which distros are used. In some cases, the installations require me to search for the exact method to perform depending on how the application is packaged.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is our host platform for embedded Linux builds.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Plan your installation. Consider the hardware resources, memory, storage, etc. that will provide the performance you will need.
