The best start into the Linux OS

  • February 07, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best OS for beginners when it comes to Linux. They have a great community and a lot of support in general. It provides all the bells and whistles you will need if you are starting out.
What do you dislike about the product?
It comes with a lot of bloatware that in the end, it's not that necessary if you are starting out in the Linux ecosystem which can lead to unnecessary use of space on the hard drive/SSD.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Is one of the best OS if you want an alternative from Windows or Mac OS and you don't have much experience in Linux. Is relatively lightweight compared to Windows or Mac but not among other Linux OS counterparts.

Looking for a Free Operating System - Try Ubuntu!

  • February 05, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
One of the most interesting about this operating system is - it is Free! Ubuntu is one of the most popular Linux variant operating systems. You could search and look for the Desktop Install ISO image and download it. Installation is via USB install procedure and very user-friendly. Look for the Lubuntu, which uses a lighter battery resource and RAM. It has all the latest applications you will ever need on a Desktop - also free! It comes with a place called a repository of software to where you can access and download other software you may need. Also, under the hood, all applications communicate with each other, and you can control them by writing a Bash command to do the sequence of work for you instantly - Amazing Indeed!
What do you dislike about the product?
Avoid the rolling updates and focus on looking for LTS, which stands for Long Term Support ISO distribution. Whereby the software gets upgraded every 3-years instead of every year. Linux is different from a Windows operating system. So if there are Windows applications you wish to use - you cannot install them on Linux. However, there are Linux software alternatives you can use - also quite powerful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I had been a Windows user at first, but later, when I switched to being a Ubuntu Linux user, my life changed. I have learned by self-study how to make software communicate with each other. I routinely filter data everyday and group them categorically. I get their sum values (previously using excel) but now use bash scripting using CSV formatted data and bring the data back and save them into readable excel spreadsheet format. It is faster and automates the work for me instantly the way I want it.

The frequent update and opensource support we get with Ubuntu server is unmatched. It's one of the best for development as we get lot of development community support with it.

Using Ubuntu server on our production environment to develop our softwares. We are using it for distributed computing. Ubuntu has increased our performance and efficiency.

Ubuntu Operating System for system admin.

  • January 29, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Unlike Windows, Ubuntu does not use a lot of resources.
The best part is, you can use it as CLI (Command Line Interface) like a system server and as well as a desktop for normal user.

Some user may find it not user-friendly. Especially Windows PC users may have difficulty if they suddenly switch to the Ubuntu desktop. So, desktop computer experience can be improved to make it more user-friendly.

I am using Ubuntu Server to configure several Webserver, Network Monitoring Servers, NTP server for the network, etc.

It is very easy to find solutions in the Ubuntu community if you are stuck or hit some issues.

All network administrator should use the Ubuntu.

  • January 26, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

Ubuntu is simple and easy to use and implement Linux base programs and software. Moreover, it is free and accessible to all. In terms of its competitors it has a very simple and user friendly UI which makes it one of the best software.
