The best Linux OS distro out there for beginners and seasoned users

  • January 07, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Since Linux is thought to be a difficult OS by many, the best thing I think about Ubuntu is that it has a very nice and customizable GUI that can be easily used by beginners and pros too. Ubuntu is the best Linux open-source OS out there available for everyone. I mean when do you see an OS that is so much supported and liked and used is free. If you are ever stuck on anything in this OS you can do a single Google search and most probably you will find a solution in the top 3 results :). It is a heavily customizable OS. Its terminal is also easy to use. Used in cloud and server deployment. People generally run ubuntu in their OracleBox Hypervisors. Basically, Ubuntu Linux is everywhere. You can play games on Ubuntu too. It has Steam on its software store. Ubuntu also has periodic major and minor updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing I dislike about Ubuntu is that its terminal can be very overwhelming and difficult to work with as you need a lot of learning to even start using it. The terminal is a very old-styled prompt any much help to the user. The user itself has to learn all the commands and do trial and error on the terminal to get used to them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Ubuntu Linux as an OS to run my projects on because generally, Linux is the OS you will most probably find on server computers. I use Ubuntu to do project development as it supports most of the major IDEs. Ubuntu is also easier to install, so you don't have to think twice if you want a Linux OS installed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
To use Ubuntu as a GUI OS you can directly go ahead and use it, but to use its terminal you need to have quite a bit of knowledge of Linux commands. There are many YouTube tutorials on Linux and its basics using Ubuntu as an OS.

Most Practical Operating System to use outside of OS X and Windows

  • January 05, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's not as user friendly as Windows or Mac but of all the Linux flavors I've used, Ubuntu Desktop was the easiest to install, set-up and use for work, study and other various stuff.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you are a Microsoft Office fan, you have to make some workarounds to make them work over Ubuntu or else, install the OpenOffice or the like which are not as smooth or as cool as the Office suite we know.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Usually, when I have an old PC or laptop which lags due to updates in Windows OS or the computer is just deteriorating for some other reasons, I install Ubuntu Desktop and it makes the machine alive once again. Also, if I'm trying to avoid buying licenses for a machine which doesn't really need Windows for tasks like programming, design, video editting, gaming and the like, I install Ubuntu Desktop because I can have what I need in there without spending money.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are cost-cutting for a project or work and need a computer for stuff like programming, video editing, gaming, and the like, you don't need to spend money on Operating Systems. Just install Ubuntu Desktop.

Ubuntu Server 20.0.4 LTS

  • January 04, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The stability of the server is important especially when it runs mission-critical or infrastructure applications and services. Also, the availability of prepackaged / containerized apps make it really easy to deploy services.
What do you dislike about the product?
Without some background in UNIX / Linux Administration, the admin/user may face some challenges. The management of snaps feels a bit complicated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our DNS, and FTP servers are running on Ubuntu Server. The platform is stable, well supported, and integrates well on our virtual infrastructure (VMWare + Hyper-V). We have realized extreme stability and high performance out of the box.
