UBUNTU is the most stable OS I have ever used.

  • November 15, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
1- Free
2- 2 versions per year, April and October
3- Daily and weekly updates
4- Adapts itself to your existing hardware so it adapts to your computer, without forcing you to minimal hardware requirements
5- Comes packed with a lot of software, like Open Office, a set of apps for young ones, etc.
6- Has a huge community to back you up, and all for free
7- Very stable and secure.
What do you dislike about the product?
Most of the people I know use Windows, and even at my office, we all have to use windows. Compatibility is not a strong suit yet, but hopefully, one day, I shall be able to use UBUNTU SOLELY, and not have to jump from one computer to another.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Some computers are a bit outdated and cannot be upgraded and we face some issues trying to install Windows 10 on them so, in order to keep using them longer, we install UBUNTU and it runs like magic on them: UBUNTU adapts itself to your existing hardware and does not force you to have a minimal setting. This is a major plus in UBUNTU's favor, and I think this is what gives it an edge over others and why, in my opinion, UBUNTU will become soon enough the standard in OS.
A lot of my USB keys develop problems and windows refuses to recognize them. I use UBUNTU to troubleshoot and revive them. Also, since UGUNTU does not contract viruses accidentally, I use it as my internet server gateway for more added protection. The stability it offers is exemplary. I just wish other OS would follow in its footsteps.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
UBUNTU can be a bit intimidating at first but, once you get used to it, trust me: it will be the only OS you want to ever use. Almost all applications have a LINUX version that you can use or you can just install "WINE" and run original apps under UBUNTU.
Even if you have an old machine, do not worry: UBUNTU will re-compile itself to better run on it. It adapts itself to your hardware and will work like magic on almost anything you install it on.

One of the most favourite OS!

  • November 12, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is one of the most favorite OS (Operating Systems) based from Linux. It's an opensourse OS (Operating System). I like the Desktop Environment of Ubuntu. Ubuntu supports every smart app (Software or Applications). I can easily operate ubuntu because its UI (User Interface) is so perfect for individual users. I can easily use every programming apps very perfectly, Also. can use many browsers (Google Chrome, Firefox, Chromium, Brave etc.). If I need to use Windows (It's an operating system powered by Microsoft Corporation) based Applications, I can use them on Ubuntu! Because Ubuntu supports cross-platform software using some 3rd party app (Wine). Also, the pre-installed Applications help me a lot. I can create, edit and customize documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and paint using their pre-installed 3rd party Office software. Also, it supports all of the files for computing also supports media files. So it helps me to sort out my every individual work and official business work. Ubuntu is totally free of cost. Also, you can connect their millions of communities and can access the global resources built by ubuntu. It makes your life so easy and comfortable. Also, it secures all of your data because no one has malware or viruses attack Ubuntu (a Linux-based operating system).
What do you dislike about the product?
Actually, I dislike the Extention ecosystem of Ubuntu. Ubuntu is unable to use all of the software. Sometimes need third-party apps to access some software that is based on windows or make OS! Also need to fix some appearance issues for Dark or Light mode. Also need to fix the cross-platform ecosystem. Some apps not working perfectly or not responding.,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Actually, it helps me to sort out daily basic work. I can easily use open-source software. Without paying any organization or company I can use the software I mean the Ubuntu OS! It's very helpful for me to sort out my daily work, docs, presentation, spreadsheet. Overall it's such a great OS!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I wanna share my experience. Ubuntu is such a great OS (Operating Systems). You can easily use Ubuntu and if you wanna shift from another OS, defiantly you most like the Ubuntu OS features and it can help you to give a smooth performance. Also, it helps you to secure everything I mean every file, important media, and your data is protected on Ubuntu.
