  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love Ubuntu's stability and ease of use, which make my work smoother and more reliable. Its stable and efficient environment is great for development and programming.

What do you dislike about the product?
I think Ubuntu could improve compatibility with certain proprietary software and hardware drivers. Sometimes specific applications or devices require extra configuration to work properly. It would be helpful if Ubuntu provided easier driver installation and better out-of-the-box support for more hardware devices. Improved compatibility with some proprietary applications would also make it more convenient for users who rely on both open-source and commercial software.

Stable, Developer-Friendly OS with Room for Improvement

  • February 28, 2026
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I think Ubuntu's UI is the best, and I really like its terminal because it solves fast processing of my CPU. I appreciate that it's open source and free, providing me with high stability and strong security. It's also developer-friendly, offering excellent terminal support. I like its software management, and I find the interface and commands to be quite good.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think snap performance problems should be solved and there are too many package systems which confuse beginners. Snap packages can be slow to launch. Cold start time is noticeably worse compared to native APT or Flatpak. APT, snap, flatpak - this confuses beginners and fragments ecosystem standards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu provides a great UI, fast CPU processing, high stability, strong security, and excellent terminal support, making it developer-friendly and efficient for software development.
