Ubuntu, the best operating system ever made

  • October 31, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like Ubuntu because it is open source, Linux based operating system, there are tons of thing ubuntu can do others os can't for starters it is fully customizable you can change every single element of your UI/ UX, Ubuntu is highly secure that means no need to invest your money to buy antiviruses that tries to breach your computer to harm your data, Ubuntu is used by many developers around the globe because it has many functionality inbuilt which people have to install externally in another os like windows,Ubuntu is the fastest operating system out there because it manages the system resources use very efficiently, Ubuntu also gives you an inbuilt support for the bash in terminal.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu is not very user-friendly as other operating systems like windows is, especially for beginners they have to struggle a lot to get a habit of it, installing any software in Ubuntu is not just a double-click thing it could be a headache sometime, Ubuntu also has less hardware support especially graphics drivers are not supported, using Ubuntu I always face wireless connectivity issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used Ubuntu for software development and machine learning as there are many free open source software for it, Ubuntu is used as a sole operating system in many companies and also it is very helpful will doing many server-side works
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend Ubuntu for people who want's to be a developer or wanted to join cooperate world because if you did than Ubuntu is an operating system which is used everywhere and is also open source and highly adjustable to your needs, it also gives better performance than other os in low-end devices one must try it .

Great open source OS

  • October 31, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Free
Good platform for learning Linux as it has a nice UI but all the command line tools still available.
I use Ubuntu at home now more than Windows. Ubuntu is faster and better than previous versions as well.
Tons of open source software available.
What do you dislike about the product?
Graphics card support isn't as good as it is on Windows but you shouldn't be using Linux for serious gaming anyway. UI has improved but is unfamiliar if you are used to Windows. Not all software is compatible but with web apps being more prevalent this is less of an issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Development work and hosting web applications/services(without GUI). Easy to develop on and great experience for learning development skills.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best way to get started with Linux.
Recommend upgrading to Ubuntu 18 if you system can handle it.
Use the command line.
Create a dual boot with Windows if that is what you are coming from.

What do you like best about the product?
The most simple and widely used operating system for any kind of industry. The simple operations and commands are the best part of this os. its completely virus free is also the most remarkable feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
The support system fails sometimes. Like the wifi connection becomes invisible sometimes and crashes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My primary operating system is Ubuntu only. I use it for programming, sharing files, browsing, developer applications and many more.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu is more secure and advanced than other OS. It supports all applications and plugins. For education and business it is best fit.

I Love using Ubuntu Server

  • October 29, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Yes Ubuntu server is my go to Distro to spin up a quick little server. From the amount of support I find online to the very nature of being able to install most every app I need for my server in a simple App-get command just makes setting it up a breeze. Couple it with Monit and you have an amazing up time.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that really comes to my mind is that you cannot run as Root. I understand the security behind it but still I just wish They would get rid of that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We run on site backup boxes with Ubuntu as the OS and then run our Code 42 on top. We also run a few other applications for customers and a few things onsite. It's easier to setup than Redhat by far.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's not Redhat but it shouldn't be, with it's strong Debian base and now the addition of snap apps it's going the right way. Spin it up and try it!

Perfect OS for Development

  • October 26, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I'm now using Ubuntu 18.04 on my PC as the sole operating system. Not only is it free to download, but there are also plenty of free apps and games available, but it also's extremely stable, suffers from no irritating pauses or unexpected crashes, has no peripheral issues, and has a clean attractive interface. It’s a pleasure to use on a daily basis. It never strains, it never annoys.
What do you dislike about the product?
Problems with hardware compatibility (graphics drivers, printers,etc.). Some software like Photoshop and Autocad don't run smoothly here. Also, I have problems with Office suite: Libre Office works as well as Microsoft Office, but when you save your document and send it to a Windows-using friend, it is difficult to expect full compatibility.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Amazing to do my thesis and my academic projects. I also used Ubuntu during my Internship for working on the compy projects.
