If you want to have your data secure, not leaked. No hassle with the licence key waste of time with Microsoft, blocking your Windows until you activate and more. Ubuntu is the solution for all the pain Microsoft is doing to you.

Best Linux Experience For General Users

  • September 09, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Ubuntu as my general purpose Linux distribution for 5 years. Although it has some problems with the heavy interface, i consider that nowadays it's the best choice to a typical computer user. Of course it is not Windows, but you have music player, web navigator, store for typical apps and it is very easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Interface. · Indiscriminate usage of "sudo" and "sudo su" in all web tutorials.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
First, consider if you want a Linux distribution. Today, Windows is a swiss-knife and maybe you don't need Linux. Then, if you need Linux, before migrating to it, look for every kind of software you need. Not all Windows software is in Linux (although in Linux there is other software that in Windows don't exist). Once you have done all this, don't hesitate and install Ubuntu, it is very easy to use.

Ubuntu is my favourite Linux implementation.

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu has the most attractive user interface of any linux operating system I have used. Has a biggest community and following. Performs very well even on computers with lower specifications and on virtual machines
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu installations are tricky for beginners. The installation is very technical especially when you have to decide partitions and ext file systems that you might not really understand
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is open source and therefore a potent alternative if you can't afford the windows O.S license

Best OS for professional development.

  • September 03, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The first thing about this OS is that it is Open-sourced, that means we do not require to purchase it. The community support for Linux/Ubuntu is enormous and for software development, it is the best OS. The best thing is that most of the tools that are developed nowadays in the market are first made compitable to use with Linux/Ubuntu. The Command-Line Interface provided with ubuntu is great and also it is much more secure as compared to few other OS available out there in the market.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although the best part about using ubuntu is that is has a wide community of developers using it, The people on a daily basis do not use ubuntu as much as Windows. Compared to windows, it provides fewer GUI features. For Non-IT people, it is still cumbersome to use it on a daily basis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use ubuntu OS on a daily basis. It is easy to do development on this and it starts up in no time and I can install software on this very quickly. It consumes less memory and we can track easily as to how much each software is consuming and can stop that software. The biggest advantage is that it is open source and free to use and modify as one needs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are a developer, I would recommend you to go for it without any doubt. But if you are a non-IT person and want to use it on a daily basis, I would recommend considering other options.

What do you like best about the product?
I'm using ubuntu for more than 2 years it is great os to work it specially for developers. It is fast and reliable. Compare to windows it not laggy.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that i dislike is as it not support all software as windows os did. Other than that is great os.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm developer in company so mostely working with javascript, html, css and react js.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There is one feature which i missing the most is "Toggle the minimise and maxmimise software" as i always go to the minimise button to minimise it. It slow the the development process.

Our Go To OS for server needs

  • September 03, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Performance, reliability and constant security updates are some of the best features. Using it on servers and desktops makes it awesome and makes production and development environment as close as possible. Available software selection make it a lot easier to use and integrate.
What do you dislike about the product?
As its majorly different from most of the people's choice of OS, it's really difficult to get people to get started on the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use ubuntu on all our server to host our and client applications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Using your servers is awesome, using it on the desktop is also good, but there are not lot of choices of first-party devices that run Ubuntu or ubuntu approved hardware.
