Ubuntu - Working Experience

  • April 21, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The terminal of Ubuntu over the cmd in windows. The terminal is the best thing I have used in Ubuntu. This is developer-friendly and allows a lot of customizations.
What do you dislike about the product?
UI and gesture could be better as MacOS beats Ubuntu here. Some more gestures should be added which help developers with faster development and workspace switching.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Development, testing and automation of various process in software development. Monitoring and job scheduling are also part of the problems which we are solving on this OS.

Great OS for developers!

  • April 21, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is by far one of the most popular and widely used Linux distros. It's apt package manager is just amazing, with a simple command line command I can install any packages,apps, dependencies etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
They reliance on apt package manager is too deep i.e. if anything were to go wrong all of the OS would be useless. I once accidentally uninstalled the core apt package and there was no way to reinstall it, I had to format the whole system and reinstall Ubuntu again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used Ubuntu for developing a typescript based visual programming platform that included a lot of browser intensive tasks alongwith some ML optimizations.

Ubuntu is a free and open-source operating system and runs on most computer

  • April 20, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu has been a steady force in the open source community for years now. Also, It comes with ZFS, a combined file system and logical volume manager, which is extremely efficient and powerful.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you've been using Ubuntu on the desktop or server for a while, you may not find enough new in the release to tempt you to upgrade. Also, newer versions tend to no longer support older computers. Which is a little disappointing for a Linux distribution
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have always loved ubuntu and use it everyday. The fact that it is free and runs on older hardware is great. I dual boot mine with Windows 10. I would recommend this OS for only older machines
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu is a fantastic operating system. I use it everyday as a dual boot option on my laptop and desktop. It's so easy to use and works great. It's sleek design is also very appealing and it's great for gaming.

Ubuntu Linux Server

  • April 20, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu Linux Server is the only real free Linux OS. And it is the best Linux for personal computing.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Apache config file structure is changed too much from the standard apache installation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Ubuntu for LAMP applications. It is totally free of charge, I don't need to worry about being forced to pay later (referring to what Oracle does to Java SE).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu Server is good for LAMP and is popular on AWS. But not many commercial RDBMSs are certified on it.

One of the best Unix based operating systems.

  • April 20, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is cheaper compare with other unix system. It is easy to manage and learn.
What do you dislike about the product?
you have to be a unix user to be able to manage any unix based OS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
for me it is easy to connect to CLI's devices from the terminal instead of having a third party software to do so.

My Ubuntu experience

  • April 20, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It has a good user experience and unlike RHEL the GUI is stable. The terminal is also an added advantage. Scripting is easier compared to windows
What do you dislike about the product?
Not all the everyday software I use is compatible
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since it is a Linux variation, the automation of activities is smoother. I prefer bash scripts to PowerShell or CLI.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The support that windows receives should be there with Ubuntu as well for it to be universally used.
