What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is easy to use. Setting it up and getting it running was easy and it integrates well with most of the tools I use for development. I use it daily due to it's stability, lightweight, and good features out of the box. The community support is also great due to its vast community and users.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main disadvantage is that some advanced setups or specific software can take extra effort to implement. Also, official customer support is not much good so have to rely heavily on forums and documentation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu makes my work a lot easier by giving me a stable system. I use it daily for development. It already has most of the tools I need. Whenever I run into an issue, the community usually has an answer, so I can get back on track quickly. It plays nicely with the apps and servers I work with.

I like Ubuntu because it’s stable, easy to use, and well-supported, making it great for both servers and development.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that Ubuntu can sometimes feel heavy compared to other lightweight Linux distributions, and its frequent Snap package usage can cause slower performance or compatibility issues.

Ubuntu provides a stable, secure, and widely supported environment for running servers, managing cloud infrastructure, and deploying containers. It solves compatibility issues by offering a large software repository and strong community support, which saves time in troubleshooting and ensures smooth deployments. Its LTS releases give reliability for production systems, while still being flexible for development and testing.

The best/simplest/powerful OS I have ever come across

  • August 06, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is my most used OS all for my Server Purposes. All of my apps/software is being deployed to multiple ubuntu bare machine. The lightweight-ness and compatibility of the OS is what I love the most. Compared to heavy OS'es like Windows, Windows Server - Ubuntu gives me an awesome experience in terms of development, management and deployment. If you know a bit of CLI and how machine and OS's works - Ubuntu can give you the most

Debian/Ubuntu's GUI version is also equally worthy. As someone who explores different OS's for different purposes - so far nothing made me switch from ubuntu to other distro's. Stability is another thing, over my carrier - I am not seeing almost zero - zero instance of converting my server's or dual boot's from ubuntu to some other distro's.

Simplicity and availability of lot of tools/software's are an added advantage.

If your are needs are not specific like cyber-security or some niche domain, Ubuntu will be so far the simplest while the most stable and powerful OS one can use

I will also appreciate ubuntu being fully Open Source - That gives me a sense of security that what I am running to protect my professional and private data is not actually a spy software
What do you dislike about the product?
Gaming support is not a strong point for Ubuntu.

Also there are incompatibility with GPU providers such as Nvidia and some cases related to Machine Learning etc.

Driver availability - although personally is fine for me, but is also a point to note. Certain hardware drivers won't be readily available with Ubuntu
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
An open source, trustable, light weight operating system is what Ubuntu solves.

For me the above three itself solves the major things.
- Open Source - Its transparent enough to know what is done and how, not just by me, but by anyone around the world
- Lightweight and trustable - Want to deploy it in a light weight server - Ubuntu can do it, Want to deploy it in a compact hardware - Ubuntu can do it, Want to deploy it to maintain a large system - Ubuntu can do it -- The key answer I would like to highlight here is, what ever the job is, Ubuntu can handle it with its compact size and powerful features

I like that Ubuntu was easy for me to set up, even as someone who isn’t a Linux pro. My laptop worked right away without extra drivers, and I can usually find any software I need in the repositories. It’s reliable for my daily use, from coding to browsing, and the community support has been great whenever I had questions.

The only downside for me is that troubleshooting rare hardware or software issues can take longer than I’d like, and sometimes the docs don’t fully cover my situation.
