    Rachmad Andre V P.

hands down the best linux distro for linux-newbies and the most user friendly linux distro available

  • October 06, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
its simplicity and it's easy to learn and to get used to
What do you dislike about the product?
the fact that it is constantly updated defines that ubuntu is not a stable distro (it is good for everyday use), but i'd rather use other distros such as centOS for servers
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ubuntu provides an open source operating system for its users to use, therefore allowing its users to change the OS based on their needs, without worrying about legal actions

review on ubuntu

  • October 04, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
1.Ubuntu is more stable.
2.You are free from Viruses so you don’t have to buy another upgrade of Norton or any other Antivirus software.
3.When you have installed Ubuntu, you don’t have to install anything else to get you started with your productivity.
What do you dislike about the product?
1.The new Unity calculator app. The old one (ie prior to Ubuntu 10.10) was pretty much perfect. I'm sure there's a reason why it was swap for the ultra basic (and useless) one that's still provided 3 years later.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
every business has serious knock-on effects in the graceful failure department. Ubuntu's Software Centre can be instructed to spit out a simple list of all the apps ("packages" in Ubuntu-speak) you've installed. Any time you need to set up a new machine or recover an old one, you simply feed the list to the package manager and it will fetch all your apps and install and configure them without any further intervention.

What do you like best about the product?
Customize options are great, the fact that I can choose between KDE, gnome, mate, etc.. Gives the user freedom and convenient, also there are lot's of free apps to install from the store or from apt-get.
My favorite thing about ubuntu is it's hardware compatibility out of the box
What do you dislike about the product?
If you don't know linux it may be hard to get use to
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most our servers are linux based running on ubuntu, it's easy to install and easy to maintain and troubleshoot.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
depends what are your needs, if you comfortable ubuntu is great as a desktop OS and as a server

The most user friendly linux distro

  • October 01, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is the most popular linux distro and because of that, it has good support. There is an entire section of stackoverflow dedicated to Ubuntu. So I like that any problem I run into can probably be solved without too much hacking.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe this is just a problem with package managers in general, but apt-get and/or aptitude is just trash.
It breaks all the time. You always have to delete some lock file. Installing software and managing dependencies should not be as hard as it is.

I also don't like Unity, but luckily they are going to get rid of it. I use gnome metacity, and I wish it had more customization than it does.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use ubuntu as a development platform. I use it at work, and I use it at home. Its good for open source work. Most of the time is spent in a browser anyways, so when I am writing code, I prefer the linux environment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It requires a lot of tweaks, but eventually it will be the best development environment for you.
If you are a web developer, you might consider mac instead.. but ubuntu can be equally great for web dev.
Ubuntu also has some weird bugs here and there, so you need understand the basics of linux, such as mounting, and the grub, and filesystem organization, stuff like that. You can use ubuntu and not be a power user, but understanding these things really helps if you have an issue. Ubuntu can run on really low tier hardware too. If you want a server, I'd definitely recommend ubuntu server
