Lightweight, ready to use linux environment

  • October 15, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like how they improve Ubuntu, every 6 months with new releases. LTS versions are an excellent idea for stable environments and purposes. It's very lightweight, so we can reuse old hardware. It's also possible to try different flavours of their Desktop environment, like KDE or XFCE. There's a huge community where we can find solutions and solve problems. Very large package library. No need to set antiviruses. No licenses costs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometime they lose time and energy in something not very useful as unity or Ubuntu One. Also Xorg vs Wayland, letting users decide, is not the best for me. There is no Ubuntu Cloud or embedded solution to smoothly move from one laptop to a new one. The transition roadmap to new package systems is not clear (flatpack and so). Release upgrade can sometimes ask questions that not all users can answer, i.e. about what to do with grub.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Ubuntu Desktop, we can use an OS completely free, even on old hardware, that comes with all we need to work. As we have also many ubuntu servers running, we can be ready to manage them with no effort or changing the way packages installs or bash works.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use LTS versions, take a look at bash and terminal use, do not expect to get all Windows exe running flawlessly, but at 99% you'll find a solution or replacement. Try it on a real hardware, not only in a virtual machine, so you'll be able to check if is compliant with your hw. Dual boot is a good idea to start using it.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing are perfect, While it’s a well-rounded distro, it does have some flaws.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I never use that word, - Problem. We have tasks, to do lists etc. So basicaly Ubuntu is for a team daily use. Dont think that others distro for much useful for the begginers. I mean everybody can use an Ubuntu daily

Ubuntu, the choice of a new generation.

  • Review provided by G2

General desktop usage works amazingly well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a shot, and get used to the interface before you make a final decision.

The only option for developers on PC

  • October 13, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As a developer you can install your IDE, languages or server platforms-containerized or not - with a finger snap. Evrything is an apt-get install away.
Then, it's not difficult to go to cloud or to work remotely- Ubuntu is literally powering the internetz. So this is basically why teams at Google use Ubuntu Desktop for their work!
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI could use some modernization- icons being too big for my liking - plus shipping more terminal alternatives, etc...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Well for me it's the fastest way to get developers start woeking without caring about installing tools and dependencies- this solves productivity AND quality problems for us - all while being free,!

Excellent Server for web develop

  • October 11, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu Server over Ubuntu Desktop if you plan to run your server headless. Because the two Ubuntu types share a kernel, you can always add a GUI later. Also, Ubuntu Server is best for specific varieties of servers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Also, compared to CentOS, it tends to be more unstable after software updates.

Performance. All things being equal, Ubuntu performs better than Windows since it requires fewer hardware resources and allows them to use for other fundamental tasks. However, some drivers can change that and make certain programs or video games behave a little better in Windows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We migrated from windows server 2016 to the ubuntu server to have more stability in the operation of our sales application. The web services always crashed in our windows server 2016, and we had to restarted daily
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We have seen that Ubuntu is usually an option that deserves to be studied if you apply it to your hosting. We must bear in mind that as a Linux distribution, it receives excellent support from its documentation, community of developers in forums, mailing lists, and others. Ubuntu Server makes it the candidate for those who hire a server. It is ideal for those who know Linux Administration but want to have support or documentation to help them solve problems that may arise in the future.

Ubuntu Review

  • October 11, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is an open-source, free operating system. The system is user-friendly and relatively easy to understand. The OS is fast and secure. Ubuntu is a self-compiling software - it adapts to the hardware and works as per your requirements.
What do you dislike about the product?
Many applications are specifically designed to run on Microsoft or IoS, which makes using all software on Ubuntu not possible. Many drivers need to be installed separately - which makes using this OS an unpleasant experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Ubuntu on my system using a Virtual Machine - Oracle VirtualBox. Ubuntu is a secure software, and I can drag-drop, copy-paste files between the VM and my system, which makes my work easier. Ubuntu makes the testing and debugging process easier by giving you more command over your system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu is a safe and secure system - even if it is not your primary OS, you can use it on your system using a VM and use it as a development and testing environment.
