The OS to rule them all!

  • February 22, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The kind of control that Ubuntu offers in terms of deeper levels of control on my system resources and the ease with which I can do that is next to none. Also, the greater security that one experiences with it is just unmatched!
What do you dislike about the product?
The GUI needs a lot of attention for mainstream adoption as this OS truly has the absolute highest suggestibility rates if that is taken care of. Marketing of any kind will help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The kind of issues one faces with other operating systems in terms of heavier focus on the graphic side which leads to greater allocation of system resources for the same leads to a slower system and that is something that one does not face in Ubuntu. This leads to better coding and compiling which greatly benefits the development of applications in a faster way.
