    Computer Software

Best OS for developers

  • November 02, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ease at which new programs can be installed. Ability to write programs using the text editors and renaming those with appropriate extensions. In comparison with other OS-particularly Windows- this is a massive advantage and makes the tasks easier for the developers. Resolving paths and other necessary minor things needed to build applications are also easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like the built-in backgrounds. The default text editors can be also improved. Particularly gedit can be provided with more default themes and designs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Ubuntu for developing applications for my research in configurable systems. Since my work relies on making kernel level changes, Ubuntu is the best OS for me.

Best open source Operating System.

  • October 28, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is an widely used Operation System used by the developers to develop many Software. The best thing that I like about Ubuntu that it is open source. Anyone can easily manipulate the internal code of the OS and use it as he/she want. It is free from virus and free of cost. The User Interface of Ubuntu is very easy to use and Understand. The terminal of ubuntu is very cool, you can customize it according to you. As a Software Developer I only use Ubuntu for making my projects and Software.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing that I dislike about ubuntu is that it is only useful for Developers and Software Engineers. For Non-technical users it is not for that much use as they are not aware of commands. There is also frequent updates come in Ubuntu which irritates me so much. Sometimes my laptop gets heated when I use Ubuntu.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a Software Developer and I am using Ubuntu for past 3 years. I make my projects with the help of Ubuntu. Recently I made a Machine Learning project which uses OpenCV. Ubuntu makes my work very easy it has inbuilt software and packages for python that can be accessed just by typing a simple command on terminal.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are a Software Developer then Ubuntu will surely help you in your projects, you can easily complete your projects with the help of Ubuntu. But if you are not from technical field then Ubuntu is not good for you, you can use some other Operating System such as Windows.
