Ubuntu - My favourite Linux distribution

  • March 27, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is my favorite Linux distribution. Ubuntu is one of the most recognizable Linux distributions, and its main advantage is the fact that it is very stable and easy to use, users changing the system will be able to use it without any problems. Another big advantage is that the universality of this distribution of Ubuntu works well on all desktop computers, and is also used by most people as a server system. Another significant advantage is the fact that the distribution is available Opensource, which makes it completely free and editable. It is also worth mentioning that Ubuntu is, supported on an ongoing basis, which is why updates and security patches for this system are often released.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downside for some users switching from other systems may be that Linux does not have support for all applications released on Windows/MacOS. Another disadvantage I noticed when using Ubuntu is that some elements of the system need to be optimized because the system itself can put much strain on the computer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Ubuntu makes me feel safe when using my computer, as Ubuntu is one of the safest systems on the market. By this fact, I save on the purchase of licenses for the operating system and antivirus.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a free operating system on which you will perform most of your tasks you should consider choosing Ubuntu because it is one of the most popular Linux distributions.

Most Secure Platform

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Gnome is the default desktop, which has no bugs. Even if you were to find any bugs, it would probably just be a trivial one that you can easily bypass. It is preferred over other OS by many developers for this very reason. It also reduces the lag that you see in other places.
What do you dislike about the product?
People that are not used to it will experience a learning curve. This can take a while coming from a very different environment. Also, the GUI definitely needs a makeover.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No serious bugs or lags. This is preferred over any kind of attractive GUI, hands down.

Ubuntu is efficiency and quality in a single operating system

  • March 22, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is an excellent operating system based on free software and open source that offers great opportunities for software developers because it is enough to have the basic knowledge of programming to reach large final products, in addition, it provides optimal conditions in terms of security since the Hackers or virus writers rarely attack Linux Software.
What do you dislike about the product?
a negative aspect is that when working on this operating system with complex Windows documents, the task becomes difficult or almost impossible due to the low compatibility to import from Windows for Linux, for what I consider to be a feature important to be optimized since Windows is popularly used.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ubuntu for being a free software brings great benefits with its implementation, mainly the execution of tasks with greater security and have a great compatibility of boot in conjunction with Windows. Without a doubt, loads and performs tasks more efficiently than Windows, mainly has allowed to carry out programming tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
is an operating system with which it is easy to learn to program, is one of the areas, among its most important features is the fact that it is completely free and although it has paid versions (with technical support) is even cheaper than buying Windows

Revel unique dans

  • March 17, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Sertema operativo gratuito, posant seguridad de vulnérabilités, un entrainement général différent, intuitivement son virus absolument libéré est également la caractéristique la plus notable. J'ai choisi Ubuntu plutôt que Red Hat pour ces raisons et parce que c'est un système d'exploitation Debian
What do you dislike about the product?
Les mises à jour régulières du dispositif d'exploitation rendent difficile la mise à jour des serveurs de fabrication. Même si mes peintures ne me veulent pas chez moi, Ubuntu est également connectée et de temps en temps, une fois que j'ai besoin d'effort, une récréation est impossible dans la plupart des cas. Les cas dus au maximum ne peignent pas nativement il est donc essentiel de faire beaucoup de configurations pour les amener au travail. Tous les logiciels ne sont pas comme ceux-là, mais les applications Internet étant plus courantes, le problème est moins grave.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Au niveau de l'entreprise, nous envisageons de faire en sorte que le système soit complet, même au niveau serveur, nous étudions la procédure de migration, car elle pourrait nous permettre de réduire les coûts, de sécuriser les périphériques et d'optimiser l'efficacité de l'exécution des applications. Ubuntu est nos serveurs primaires OS Réduit le risque de virus et d'applications malveillantes
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu a tous les atouts majeurs que les autres utilisateurs utilisent dans Windows et Windows n’a pas toujours de logiciels en vrac La peine de l'essayer Un tel système d'exploitation sans frais
