Widely Adopted and a Great Support Community

  • August 25, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Canonical takes a rather opinionated stance with its official Ubuntu flavor, regarding software. Because of this, minimal effort is required on the part of a user to get a usable system up and running. This in now way limits further customization.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the official apt repositories are mostly well maintained, there are instances where we are still building packages by hand in order to run recent versions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Picking Ubuntu as a distro to build and test on allows us to cover a very large proportion of end-users running on Linux.

Ubuntu, the best known distro?

  • August 21, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu has perhaps the best name recognition systems of any Linux distro. Coupled with vast amounts of community assistance make Ubuntu a strong choice for Linux users at all levels.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasional issues with drivers, still a higher level of technical skills the moment you go beyond the most basic usage and the hardcore open-source implementations some-times prevent full performance (especially Nvidia drivers.) There are still some areas where the software is not as good on Linux as on Windows or require alternative packages which are not as polished. I also find that it is not as robust to tinkering as Windows, although this may be linked to my personal experience levels.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Linux is great and very powerful. The level of self-reliance is greater as well.
