  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is my favorite Linux distribution. Ubuntu is available to all users completely free of charge with open-source licenses. Ubuntu has support for a huge number of languages so most users can use this system in their national language. The user interface is very simple, and every user will surely find himself there. Ubuntu has a great support schedule for the system, and security patches are often issued. Ubuntu is compatible with a huge number of devices, even with tablets. In ubuntu, I very much like the fact that compared to the biggest competitor there is no need to install drivers for hardware system is ready to use after the installation, which is very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
- Many popular solutions are not compatible with Linux.

- A graphical interface can use a lot of resources of the computer on which it works.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu gives me the ability to use my computer comfortably without worrying about malware.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend using Ubuntu for people considering changing to Linux because Ubuntu has a very simple graphical interface and the installation process is very simple.

Go for it. Try it before you install it. You won't be disappointed.

Ubuntu, powerfull OS

  • July 29, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is totally Free and even if you have paid versions (with technical support) is even cheaper than buying Windows. The important distros have many very useful programs and you can find it very easily on the Internet. A very important point is security, Hackers and/or virus creators rarely attack Linux Software. As you can see on many websites, there is an infinite amount of technical information that will help you. It gets along well with Windows. Loads and performs tasks more efficiently than Windows. The constant updating and new versions is amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
The technical origin of Linux is still perceived; before you can believe it, you will be opening a Linux "Terminal" and writing commands; Something you would never do with Windows .
It is not very common to use in Companies, so it is generally used to work from home, so you must make laborious adjustments. When working with complex Windows documents, it could become a difficult task due to a certain degree of compatibility to import from Windows to Linux. Installing hardware and software drivers is more complicated than in Windows. This is because the companies that create drivers create their products based on Windows, the most used operating system worldwide. Many games do not run on Linux so forget about big graphics and put your video card to work to the maximum. Of course there are exceptions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It would be a mistake to say that Ubuntu is 100% immune to viruses. However, compared to Windows, which needs the use of antivirus, the malware risks associated with Ubuntu Linux are negligible. It also saves you the cost of antivirus because you don't need any. Its built-in firewall and virus protection method ensures that you are protected.

No doubt that's a great reason to use Ubuntu Linux. Downloading, installing and using Ubuntu Linux doesn't cost a penny. Simply download it from the Canonical website or visit your favorite torrent website, create a boot ISO or save it on a USB drive. It is also being adopted in various educational and government organizations around the world to reduce costs. In addition, most software is also free.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The freedom to customize your system is one of the main advantages of a Linux-based operating system.

Lubuntu and Xubuntu, developed to meet the needs of low-end systems, Ubuntu Unity default does not need high-end system requirements. Recommended hardware requirements are 700 MHz processor, 512 MB RAM and 5 GB hard disk.

Ubuntu The most popular operating system in the world.

What do you like best about the product?
I like Ubuntu because it is super fast and easy to use, it is open source and above all it is free, you do not require a license or subscription to use it.
It is based on Linux so virus attacks are almost nil.
It provides you with a wide range of catalogs of programs ready to be used in the educational environment.
A lightweight operating system.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am disgusted that when you are new with Ubuntu the application becomes a bit confusing, you have to spend some time to understand this operating system, and to be able to apply its full potential.
I have no complaints about the rest.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We solved the problem of obsolete equipment, Ubuntu is very similar to Windows, at present, so it serves us for the same functions that Windows XP serves us. In fact, Ubuntu is a faster and more effective operating system than Windows, and there are no existing viruses for operating systems from Linux.
Thanks to Ubuntu we solved the budget problem.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have old computers, I recommend Ubuntu, you can improve the speed of your computers, it has nothing to envy Windows, it is a stable and secure operating system.

The best free and stable Linux Operating System.

What do you like best about the product?

Ubuntu es el sistema operativo mas famoso de Linux, tiene un desarrollo constante y mejoras diarias.
Cuenta con una comunidad de expertos que ofrecen sus conocimientos diariamente a este gran Sistema Operativo.

Ubuntu se adapta muy bien a cualquier PC actual, teniendo mucho soporte a los Drivers de tarjeta de video y cualquier dispositivo por USB.

El centro de Software de Ubuntu tiene los software mas conocidos y usados por la gran comunidad de programadores y usuarios, dando la facilidad de buscar y descargar en tu sistema.

Me gusta mucho la integracion de programas alternos como Google Drive, donde puedes sincronizar tus archivos de la Nube personal de Google Drive en tu PC sin necesidad de descargar complementos extras despues de la instalacion de Ubuntu.


Ubuntu is the most famous Linux operating system, it has a constant development and daily improvements.
It has a community of experts who offer their knowledge daily to this great Operating System.

Ubuntu adapts very well to any current PC, having a lot of support for the Video Card Drivers and any USB device.

The Ubuntu Software Center has the best known and used software by the large community of programmers and users, giving the facility to search and download on your system.

I really like the integration of alternative programs such as Google Drive, where you can synchronize your files from the Google Drive Personal Cloud on your PC without having to download extra plug-ins after installing Ubuntu.
What do you dislike about the product?
In the most recent version of Ubuntu, it does not allow creating a guest profile or leaving a profile without a password so that a family member or friend can use your PC without revealing the secret key, which makes me very uncomfortable when lending my PC to non-personal use

Since I started using Ubuntu it has improved a lot, but the desktop changes did not adapt well changing very often and forcing you to use them with its default installation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ubuntu in a very stable and fast system, adapts very well and has an immense community of programmers, where you can help improve the system and create new options that fit your needs.

Ubuntu being a very stable system I was able to completely migrate from Windows and save money on proprietary license.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend Ubuntu to all users who wish to try Free Linux Software, it is a very stable system, easy installation and many useful programs online, where you can work and enjoy freely without any cost.

In its 64-bit version you can enjoy all known programs, for example Google Chrome where you have everything synchronized.

Debian

  • July 26, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is an operating system that allows to securely install and configure administration services, such as IP assignment, user license management, web services, database services, among others. In addition as a system developer and fan of free software, I like to install and manage the services where I host my Web pages, the Apache service, Database servers, dhcp and ldap, maintaining total control of the service platform. To conclude, since I could have a good time listing things that I like about Debian is a very stable system, whose failures are counted compared to windows that the failures are recurring.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I do not dislike about Debian is that its graphical interface is very unattractive, if I have already worked with Windows or Mac, although in the latest versions it has improved, but today it is still unattractive, which makes the worker Desk feels uncomfortable. And if a user porcuriosidad seeks to try Debian, there are many users who give up trying it by its interface. Another aspect, although it could be seen as an advantage, updated their systems and programs compatible with Debian almost daily, but this requires technicians to update each command so that their programs are more efficient and consume productive working time
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For the administration of the operating system service, Debian makes it very easy for the people in charge of these tasks, facilitating the proper use of the Ministry's IT platform. Another aspect that generates benefits is that many of the Ministry's machines have an obsolete hardware configuration, Pentium IV, core-duo. Another advantage with respect to Windows, is that it is a very stable, robust and multiprocess system, which does not tend to be interrupted since if a process is out of control, it can be eliminated and the operating system continues to work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would also recommend it for those organizations whose computers have hardware configurations with few or obsolete resources that generate problems for users to run the installed programs. Also for those companies that want to have control of their Web services, Database, Ip Addressing, password logging as ldap between other services
