I basically work only in Linux because I'm a Linux system administrator, so I preferably only work in Linux systems.

I'm basically a system admin in the Linux domain, and I work in EC2 instances only. My work revolves around Drupal websites, as I work in an organization that primarily focuses on Drupal websites. To run those Drupal websites, we use EC2 instances as our server, so that is the main expertise I have.

I am not exactly in development because I'm in operations, but that can come into the role itself because I'm involved in operations, not the development team itself.

I am currently using Ubuntu Linux internally in my company, and for customers too.

For long-term support, it has been good because in most enterprise environments, people still use Ubuntu Linux sixteen, which is quite obsolete now. Other enterprise versions do not support obsolete systems, so supportability is good in terms of Ubuntu Linux. For sustainability, it's quite a significant point of view for every organization. For us, Ubuntu Linux is the preferable way.

The documentation for Ubuntu Linux is quite extensive; you'll gain the information that we intend to, but you need to have the ability to navigate through the documents. That's very good knowledge that they provide, and that's a solid point from me.

Most people prefer Ubuntu Linux. If they want any specific tooling, such as SAP applications, people use SUSE or Red Hat for specific hybrid infrastructures related to security. If people want reliability and flexibility to run anything, they use Ubuntu Linux. Compatibility with hardware is very good with Ubuntu Linux; I have seen very few issues regarding compatibility.

The first advantage is that it's price-efficient as far as the enterprise version is concerned. There's not a very big difference, but if you are running ten to twenty thousand fleets, those few dollars could mean a lot for some organizations. The second advantage is compatibility with any hardware, and the third is reliable OS updates and support.

Any Linux is scalable in terms of capacity, and on a day-to-day basis, we use scalability options with the help of Kubernetes clusters. It's very convenient to scale it up to any form needed because Ubuntu Linux itself is a lightweight OS.

For us, Ubuntu Linux is the preferable way. For others, it might not be, so that is quite a subjective matter itself.

The pinpoint of the problem is that they take time because they need specific information. We need to go to AWS first, and then they'll contact the Ubuntu Linux support team itself. This creates a two-way hop for us, which is why it's not that great. It's not really Ubuntu Linux's problem but rather the way we are accessing Ubuntu Linux.

The migration part when migrating an application or one version of Ubuntu Linux to another is quite hectic. During the process, one or many applications might crash. That is something they could handle themselves, but I don't think that's something Ubuntu Linux will look into. During a migration project that I was handling, Ubuntu Linux was not completely compatible for the migration process from one application to another. This is an area they could improve in migrating from minor versions to major versions.

I have been working with Ubuntu Linux for three years now, and I've used different flavors from sixteen to twenty-two, and now it's the latest focal, which is twenty-five.

For me, it's quite simple because we don't frequently update the stack itself. For many people, it is subjective because if you're running very dynamic applications, not only on Ubuntu Linux but any Linux systems, it can be quite subjective based on the applications they are using. If updates happen frequently, no system would be stable without tuning it every time there's an update. For us, it's quite reliable in terms of stability.

Any Linux is scalable in terms of capacity, and on a day-to-day basis, we use scalability options with the help of Kubernetes clusters. It's very good as there is no technical reasoning against it because Ubuntu Linux itself is a lightweight OS, so it's very convenient to scale it up to any form needed.

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

I use Ubuntu Linux for application servers in my daily operations.

I run web applications on Ubuntu Linux.

For application servers, I find Ubuntu Linux very useful.

I have a project on Ubuntu Linux that uses Nvidia graphic cards for AI purposes, such as Google Maps, where car cameras collect images while running on the road to build a map and recognize shop names and locations.

I find Ubuntu Linux to be a stable operating system and open-source, supporting almost all features as expected for an operating system, and it's widely supported by any open-source applications.

It is widely supported by almost all applications.

Ubuntu Linux continuously improves itself; it supports almost every new feature, and AI projects benefit from these developments, as well as every web-based project due to support for at least three or four web platforms such as Apache and Nginx.

Automation is very important for wide deployments, and Ubuntu Linux supports a lot of automation features, making it easy to deploy hundreds of applications. While Linux platforms are generally difficult to manage due to shell applications and lots of text files, automation handles these challenges and allows monitoring of the deployment process. This kind of development needs to be done, and the GUI could be better.

The GUI could be improved for beginner users.

For beginners, the GUI may be improved, but pro users use automation tools, scripts, and other options, so they don't need easy GUI tricks.

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for at least 5 years.

The initial setup deployment takes less than an hour.

During these 5 years, I have faced some minor issues with Ubuntu Linux, but not a major downtime.

Ubuntu Linux is very scalable.

Before working with Ubuntu Linux, I evaluated most other Linux operating systems such as Red Hat, SUSE, and others.

Red Hat is a very professional operating system, and many operating systems use Red Hat-based code, but I find Ubuntu Linux to be a bit easier and more widely used, possibly due to Red Hat's license limitations.

For the setup of Ubuntu Linux, I would rate it eight out of ten for ease.

Ubuntu Linux is almost free, but it has some professional services that require payment if you choose to use them. For a low-cost application server, Ubuntu Linux is a good choice, or for an enterprise-wide scalable operating system with professional services, you can select Ubuntu Linux at a reasonable price.

I may share a review on other Linux or operating systems such as Rocky, Kali, Oracle, and SUSE in one or two months.

Currently, approximately 2,000 users are working with Ubuntu Linux in my company.

I plan to increase the usage in the future.

I strongly recommend Ubuntu Linux to most customers.

I would recommend it because it is very stable, supports almost every new feature, and almost all open-source projects, with easy support available from the web and professionals.

I rate Ubuntu Linux 9 out of 10.

I use Ubuntu Linux as a workstation to check my emails, to connect to people, to use Teams, to send mails, and to browse everything, similar to how we use Windows.

I use Ubuntu Linux as a replacement for Windows for everything. I use Teams, emails, Zoom, AnyDesk, and UltraViewer on it.

For system administration, I find it useful to connect to my Linux servers directly from the command line, and I create my virtual machines using VMware Workstation.

In terms of security, I am satisfied with Ubuntu Linux and I can rely on its security features more than I can with Windows.

There might be some features or limitations I would want to see improved, but I cannot think of any specific ones right now. It is easy to use.

The booting of Ubuntu Linux should be faster because I only have two minutes when I have calls, so it should complete more quickly.

I have been working with Ubuntu Linux for four years.

I have not faced any challenges with Ubuntu Linux such as integration or any other challenges.

I have not faced any challenges with Ubuntu Linux such as integration or any other challenges.

I have not faced any challenges with Ubuntu Linux such as integration or any other challenges.

I have not used Ubuntu Linux for AI as yet. My total rating for Ubuntu Linux is 9.

My main use cases for Ubuntu Linux include web servers, FTP servers, and DNS servers, mainly for server usage.

I am mainly using Ubuntu Linux in a virtualized environment; it is virtualized even on-premises, and obviously, in the cloud, it is virtualized. I typically do not install it as a bare-bones or direct install.

For the cloud, we are using Ubuntu Linux on AWS and internally, we are using it on VMware vCenter.

About half of my office, which is around 25 users, works with Ubuntu Linux. However, for the cloud application or workflow that we publish, we have around 300,000 users.

The features of Ubuntu Linux that I find most useful and beneficial are the automatic Yum update repository and making software updates easy.

There are automatic update repositories in Ubuntu Linux.

Regarding the specific scenario where security features of Ubuntu Linux have impacted my operations positively, I don't think there's any specific instance, but the main aspect of Ubuntu Linux is that the updates in terms of security are very fast, and it is very easy to deploy. This would be defined as a positive outcome.

I recommend improving Ubuntu Linux's version upgrade process. The community has provided support with a community repository that would upgrade the particular version for you, but I don't see that as a paid subscription or paid support from Ubuntu Linux.

Increasing the legacy support for older software would be a good improvement for Ubuntu Linux in the next release.

The problem with the license costs for Ubuntu Linux right now is due to currency exchange, as everything is based on US dollars. If the support could be priced locally and fixed for a number of years, it would be better. The fluctuations of the US dollar and global economic uncertainty make it difficult, but if they could lower the price by about 10%, it would be significant for developing countries like Malaysia.

I have been working with Ubuntu Linux for more than five years.

I do not face a lot of issues integrating Ubuntu Linux with my existing infrastructure, as it is quite popular as a Linux distribution. However, the versioning can sometimes confuse people between the LTS version and the standard version, and this is where problems happen because they're not using the long-term support (LTS) version.

The issue with the version is that some applications become deprecated or no longer supported, which can lead to situations where updating or upgrading certain applications might break them. For example, I was using WordPress, but when I upgraded to a newer version of Ubuntu Linux, WordPress broke due to the fact that some of the components are updated and WordPress itself doesn't support the updated application yet.

Apart from this challenge, I have not faced any other problems; in terms of operating systems, Ubuntu Linux is quite easy to use and has a lot of documentation. The only problem arises during major version upgrades when some non-Ubuntu applications might not work after the update.

I don't have any advice or input on making Ubuntu Linux more stable, as I find it very stable. I've installed it in the cloud, on-premises, and in my own virtual machine.

We are planning to increase the usage of Ubuntu Linux in the future while also evaluating the use of Amazon Linux.

For technical support, I would give it an eight out of ten because I don't really need to rely on their technical support; most of the information is available in forums or the public domain.

Positive

We are exploring Amazon Linux because it's on Amazon, and running its own version of Linux might provide additional benefits that we can gain; that's why we are conducting this study.

Ubuntu Linux is very easy to set up for me personally.

I would probably rate the setup experience of Ubuntu Linux an eight or a nine out of ten.

It takes about 15 minutes for the basic install of Ubuntu Linux and another half an hour for the updates.

I expect that if there are loyalty discounts, such as if there is some program for long-term users, that would be great, but they currently don't have such a program.

There should definitely be a loyalty program for long-term users of Ubuntu Linux.

I am not informed if Ubuntu Linux supports any AI-driven projects, as I don't visit the Ubuntu website often and I don't subscribe to any of their mailing lists, so if Ubuntu is doing AI initiatives, I am not aware of it.

I request a 10% discount because that would help offset the costs associated with currency exchange and transfer charges.

I recommend those who want to use Ubuntu Linux to go download the installation image and try to install it on their PC or in their virtualized environment first.

Ubuntu Linux is very easy to use because the installation process is quite straightforward and the GUI is very nice, making it very precise.

I mentioned that legacy support should be increased for older software, but this is a business decision, and my company is also dropping legacy support due to cost.

I would rate Ubuntu Linux a nine out of ten as a total rating.

I primarily use Ubuntu Linux for programming in embedded systems. My laptop runs Ubuntu Linux, and I have installed various IDEs and open-source software on it. For microcontroller programming, I utilize AVR and STM32. In addition, I design electronic circuit boards using KiCad.

Ubuntu Linux is lightweight, fast, and works seamlessly with command-line terminals. It is resource-saving and suitable for automation through scripting. Additionally, Ubuntu Linux's open-source nature supports community contributions, bolstering its development and support ecosystem. This flexibility allows for efficient programming and integration with various devices.

While Ubuntu Linux offers flexibility, it can lack support, especially when utilizing new versions. Stability issues occur when integrating new components due to physical or technical challenges. Additionally, I would like to see more flexibility in integrating Ubuntu Linux with newer devices, particularly in terms of CPU performance, RAM upgrades, and power-saving features.

I have been using Ubuntu Linux every day for over three years.

I face no significant challenges during Ubuntu Linux deployment. For example, setting up Ubuntu Linux on a Raspberry Pi involves a simple process of copying Linux onto an SD card, which takes about five minutes. However, configuring Ubuntu Linux for a server setup can be more complex and time-consuming, requiring up to a week.

Ubuntu Linux is generally stable, though there can be occasional issues with new hardware integration. Previously, I encountered downtime due to a new switch core integration, which resulted from physical cable problems rather than software issues.

Ubuntu Linux is scalable. In a server environment, it can seamlessly adapt to increased customer demand. Alarms help monitor resource usage, allowing for timely responses to scaling needs.

I utilize community resources and ChatGPT for support. The community around Ubuntu Linux is beneficial, providing answers to questions and assisting with issues.

Neutral

I have previously used Windows. Windows is a closed system, which makes flexibility and integration with various devices challenging compared to the more flexible open-source nature of Ubuntu Linux.

Ubuntu Linux setup is straightforward, with documented guidelines. It includes backing up systems regularly, automating processes through scripts, and ensuring stable configurations for different use cases.

Ubuntu Linux is open-source, leading to cost savings through its free availability. Its resource efficiency further reduces costs by optimizing system performance.

During discussions, I've worked with both Windows and Ubuntu Linux, comparing their features and capabilities.

I recommend using Ubuntu Linux for its faster processing capabilities and lightweight nature. Ubuntu Linux is ideal for tasks demanding high performance and flexibility. It's highly customizable, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, from server environments to embedded systems. My overall rating for Ubuntu Linux is eight.

The solution is an Android service package.

Firstly, the attack surface is a lot smaller. There are fewer vulnerabilities. If you look at a list of CVEs, you will see that while many systems are targeted, fewer attacks focus on Ubuntu than other operating systems because Ubuntu is highly customizable. You can configure it exactly how you want, secure it thoroughly, and turn off unnecessary services, yet it will still function properly. Unlike a Windows machine with numerous dependencies, Ubuntu can operate efficiently with only the essential components enabled.

The stability could be improved.

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for four years.

The product is stable. It depends on the use case. If you try to use it as a multifunction server—such as a file, print, and logging server all at once—it may not perform optimally. However, if you use it for a single dedicated function, it is one of the best options available. I rate it a nine out of ten.

There are effective ways to manage large amounts of Linux devices remotely, but it requires knowledgeable personnel. While business tools exist for managing Linux, it's more complex than using Windows, which level one or two technicians can manage. For Linux, you often need specialists. However, Ubuntu Linux's free licensing and open-source nature can reduce overall costs despite the need for skilled administrators.

There are enough forums and other means of support for Ubuntu Linux that you don't need official group support.

The initial setup will be easy. Once you start using it, you will manage the rest of it. Although it can become quite technical, a lot of support is available. You can disable any services you don't need, ensuring no unnecessary ports are open. Unlike Windows, which allows everything by default until specifically restricted, Linux keeps everything closed and only opens what is necessary.

You've got thirty steps and multiple other forums anyway.

We are using Ubuntu Linux for a specific task. Based on our experience, it is very efficient. Instead of using a Windows server for easy access, we have set up a new server tailored for manual users. Despite this, some users still rely on a Windows server. However, when I use a Linux cluster, it works very well. All my users interact with it seamlessly.

Play it first to get the skills before diving into anything complex. Start with simple tasks, like setting up an email server. Once you have those basics working, you can move on to more advanced tasks. We often find that Windows users tend to set things up in a certain way because they are familiar with Windows. Therefore, it's important to understand what you are doing from the start. Once you have a good foundation, it will be smooth sailing.

We have tried various approaches from a Linux point of view. We still support those, and I have a specialist tool that can efficiently support them.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Ubuntu Linux is an operating system. We use it from time to time if some applications require it.

The security features are okay. The solution is easy to use. It performs well.

The stability could be improved.

The tool is stable enough. I rate the stability an eight out of ten.

The technical support must be good since the tool is well known and is implemented in many places. We can find the information we need on the web.

The deployment can be done in an hour. Our technical team deployed the tool in our organization. The number of people needed for the deployment depends on the scale of deployment. One person is enough to deploy the solution in one system. More people would be required if we needed 100 servers.

If Ubuntu is required for your application, you should use it. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

The product is excellent for individuals or organizations seeking a free and reliable operating system. It is well-suited for technical users, developers, and those working in data centers or network environments.

I rate the product a nine out of ten for its overall performance and reliability.

The tool's valuable feature is its pro security features. I also like the way it serves the infrastructure. The main thing is that each new update or version ensures it comes out with zero vulnerabilities—no high, medium, or low vulnerabilities.

Ubuntu Linux's main benefits are its ease of use and the large number of available packages. Additionally, it benefits from regular patching.

I want more insights and security features in the pro version, specifically activities and vulnerabilities. When releasing a new version, it's crucial to ensure no vulnerabilities. Sometimes, a new version may have minor vulnerabilities, like one medium and one low. These typically take about two weeks to resolve. More regular patching, especially addressing security vulnerabilities, is essential to improve.

I have been using the solution for many years. 

I rate Ubuntu Linux's deployment an eight out of ten. We encountered some version issues. 

I am quite happy with the tool's scalability. My company has 50 users who use it regularly. 

The support has been good overall. We haven't needed it often, only raising a few support tickets in two years, and they were all resolved within two days. So, I'm quite happy with them.

We work with Alpine Linux and offer them to enterprises as well. Compared to other operating systems, Ubuntu Linux is easier to use and has more up-to-date packages. It also has more packages in the repository. However, Ubuntu Linux sometimes bundles many unnecessary packages, making it difficult to strip down the OS to make it more secure.

Ubuntu Linux's deployment is easy. We usually spin it up with scripts. We have many scripts for various tasks, including updates and backups, and it didn't take much to put them together. We spend less than half an hour to get a basic setup, and then we can deploy within minutes. We have about two employees handling maintenance and patching on a yearly basis for many applications. That's more than sufficient. 

I rate the overall product a nine out of ten. I would recommend it to other companies and users. It's a very good OS, although it sometimes requires some effort to deploy applications.

We manufacture special telecommunication equipment, and we use Ubuntu Linux to develop our system and design our equipment.

The most valuable feature of Ubuntu Linux is the price because we don't need to pay as it is used for selling equipment.

The solution's initial setup is complex, and its technical support is not very good.

We have been using Ubuntu Linux for the last one year.

Ubuntu Linux is a very stable solution.

Around two to five users use Ubuntu Linux in our organization.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten for scalability.

The solution’s technical support is not very good.

The solution's initial setup is complex.

We don't pay a licensing fee for the solution.
