Basically, I am using an ubuntu server for web hosting, DNS, and FTP. Ubuntu has done a tremendous job to fulfill all the requirements for my project to go live and deliver to clients on time with minimum time.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The security and available resources for support are unmatched. Due to the kind of expertise it needs to use, it is rarely prone to virus attacks. In my field of work, command-line usage is essential, and Ubuntu is the only Linux system I have used. There is, most often than not, the solution to errors one faces utilizing this platform. The crown it up, It is free.
What do you dislike about the product?
It requires a higher level of expertise to use. It is not easy for a novice to get used to it. It has come a long way; however, adding more Functionalities in the GUI would help the ordinary user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Ubuntu desktop on my Windows PC to enable me to run software that is exclusive to the Linux system. I thus, do not need to have two separate computers. It has dramatically improved my efficiency.

The easy interface and the intuitive terminal (bash) helps a lot in the whole development lifecycle and that's something I like the best about Ubuntu or Linux OS

I don't like the fact that you have to manually update the tools using apt-get update and only a few of the tools are available for installation for Ubuntu, eg. some games, apps, etc.

I mostly use Ubuntu for development purposes, using AWS cli and various command line tools also for testing my develpoed apps in Python and Java.

One should be willing to leave video games in order to be a long time user of ubuntu
