Ubuntu is virus-free and it supports a lot of software where anybody can use. Since 2015 I am using Ubuntu which is user-friendly, free of charge, high security and it's compatibility.

Even though Ubuntu is very user-friendly to us it has some drawbacks such as it doesn't support new games, you have to install it manually, and you can't play MP3 audio files as it is.

as I am Lecturer I am using daily for teaching-learning process all over the semesters in all courses like Electrical workshops, advanced numerical methods, power system protection and control etc.

Best OS for developers

  • December 21, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a very straightforward OS to use. I especially like the flexibility that the terminal offers especially as a Software Developer. It's my go to terminal to use on Windows (bash)! The best use for Ubuntu I've been privy to is the VM and server capabilities. I learned about VMs and their usefulness on Ubuntu and from then, I've been well versed in virtualization.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can take a bit of getting used to, so there is a learning curve to consider when getting into Ubuntu. It helps that I got an introduction to Ubuntu from a young age, but it's not as user-friendly as Windows or macOS. It's more for tech-savvy persons.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu helps you experience the true power of computers because of their flexibility. The most significant benefit of using Ubuntu is having complete customization or building new software because it's easier to manage your dependencies on Ubuntu. You also have bash's powerful scripting capabilities at your fingertips.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I urge everyone to get into Ubuntu if you're serious about computing. From networking to hardware to software, there's nothing you can't do in Ubuntu once it's related to computing.

Not better than Windows but it's there.

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu-desktop version supports all the usual / day-to-day software which usually run on windows, such as firefox, chrome, VLC, etc. Ubuntu desktop does not require high-end system specification like the latest versions of Windows and macOS.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu-desktop does not support some of the hardware components, and software applications do not match the standard provided by Windows OS. It also does not support popular applications such as Photoshop, Premiere Pro or MS office.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The app store includes a vast selection of apps such as Mozilla Firefox, Chromium, Google Chrome, Opera browser, Slack, Skype, VLC Player, and Spotify, etc. These applications are very useful for daily users.

In order to use ubuntu as a server, the response times are very slow. It takes time to boot up as compare to centos. No doubt centos is really good at booting up.

It has very higher bootup process which takes time to bootup the server and running services on checkconf. Secondly ubuntu heatup the processor which triggers the turbo engine and extra fans.

Open source Platform for General and Professional User

  • December 17, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Open-source, so it is free to use and modify as per needs. User-friendly and best GUI for general-purpose users as well. It will be a great choice free of cost.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some people might feel it challenging to install programs through terminals. A basic understanding of commands is needed while installing some programs/software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for general purposes like surfing the internet, development and software deployment, and long-running background processes like data integration tasks. Able to use it for free if I used windows for the same job, I had to pay the licensing fee, etc...

Ubuntu: everything you could ever need

  • December 16, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is really easy to use, installing software is also very simple. The community is really active, so there's always someone who had Ubuntu-related issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some apps are not available, and alternatives are not as good. That's a problem with linux in general, but ubuntu alleviates it a bit by having support for many applications. The OS is also hard to customize.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most open-source software and development is on Ubuntu. Any developer needs Linux, and Ubuntu is by far the easiest way to have Linux. Ubuntu comes with all the toolchains necessary to write good software.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Know how to manage a disk if using another OS. Otherwise it's well documented
