Entry Level OS with GUI Interface

  • August 04, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
First thing is, it's opensource free OS which easily work on basic system configuration without hanging or consuming the system resources. Due to command based system Linux was not so popular in end users but this is good option with very less commands and user interface is also very simple. Some of the applications are already preinstalled in this system which fulfillls the basic needs like browsing.This option is very economical option in the operating systems.Security is better as regular updates are there to upgrade the system ans security.
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficult to adapt for existing user of Windows as the commands are completely changed and after replacing with this OS user may getting irretated due to flexibility. This is the best options for developers but not for the general users thoug multiple general usage applications are preinstalled in it but mostly persons are habitual to MS Windows OS. The major challenge to adapt this OS is "People are already adicted to Wondows OS and they dont want to adapt new system".The another reason for this is the flexibility as its very less flexible than windows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security is fas better in this as compare to windows and so issue in terms of support. As it's free to use so no impact on the budget and with regular updates, new application will work properly like after closing support of WindowsXP the browsers are not working and people are facing lots of issues even in internet surfing, such issues are not there with this operating system. open office is easily available to replace office as all basic functionalities are already there.

I found, when i am using Ubuntu This is The Best Operating System

  • August 03, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu I an awesome operating system and no comparison with other OS.it is free of every version, robust, stable, and easy to use.
Ubuntu is the most popular open-source operating system. That makes it a worthy Linux distro. It's highly customizable and has an S/W centre full of apps.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike a little bit using ubuntu for Two major reasons "Popularity" and "Unity".
Ubuntu is so popular that it would easily seem like the flag bearer of Linux. In Ubuntu, the design decision makes sense on mobile devices, or when you use your machine for no more than texting and the internet. But on a laptop or workstation, when you are doing serious work, it's a correctable but nagging efficiency.

Ubuntu being user-friendly in that it puts effort into easy-synching and unifying your ubuntu installations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My Samsung laptop R- series is very old. I was trying to install windows but I felt then I installed ubuntu 20.04 LTS this is working awesome so ubuntu support is excellent and now I am developing projects using ubuntu operating syatem in python and Django I am feeling very easy to install any packages and software using terminal command.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend every person to use ubuntu because this OS is virus-free, safe, and stable. The only route to get infected by the virus if we download files and install self.

First-time will face a little bit of difficulty to use UBUNTU and also you will hate it but after some time you will definitely like this OS and trust me you will never use other OS because Ubuntu is more secure and save comparison to other OS.

Fast and secure

  • August 02, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is the first OS which I learned and used in my college. This is the best OS to start journey in IT industry. It is fast as well as secure, also it is the best OS for programmers. It becomes very easy to share the files as it's speed is very fast. Also it just take 40GB space in hard disk for installation of OS. I am currecly using duol boot PC with windows and Ubuntu. It's UI is best and it does not hang just like other OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing which I am expecting from Ubuntu is that it should support more applications as I can not install required applications on Ubuntu. So I have to switch between windows and ubuntu very often due to unavailability of features. Otherwise if I will get all my favorite under one Ubuntu OS, I will permanently shift to Ubuntu.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Ubuntu for programming purpose. Also it is very easy to write scripts and run it. As all the file opener applications are inbuild, there is no efforts required to donwload extra softwares for opening files.

UBUNTU IS the safest and most stable OS but at what cost?

  • July 31, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
UBUNTU was the best OS I used because, as advertised, it compiles itself to run on your system and not the other way around: just click "ESC" while booting, and you will actually see it loading and compiling a ton of drivers and stuff to give you the optimal experience your hardware can manage.
The server version can be set up to accept WINDOWS clients and link to a MICROSOFT network environment, and it offers a wide range of variants to choose from.
The best thing is it is virus-free. Programmer boast that if you wish for your computer to catch a virus running UBUNTU, you will have to manually download a virus and install it yourself.
What do you dislike about the product?
Many of the applications I use at my office are WINDOWS compatible, and they are not compatible with UBUNTU. You can try to run WINE, but it's not the same thing.
You can find a counterpart for every software you need, but you cannot share their files unless the recipient has the same software, so yes: compatibility is a big problem, and that's why I stopped using it.
Updates need to be launched manually, and if you did not configure the repositories well, you would not be able to do it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At school, we have many old laptops that cannot run windows smoothly because their hardware is outdated. UBUNTU can run on almost any hardware configuration, which is one of its' major strong points.
Also, WINDOWS sometimes just refuses to access some external storage devices like USB keys or even HARD DRIVES. With UBUNTU, as long as the device is still functional, you can access it and use it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
UBUNTU is like your private tank: it just keeps going while helping you get the most out of your hardware.
Secure, fast, and dependable, it probably is the best OS out there.
If you do not mind learning other software, it is the solution you need: it's free, available in many versions and distros, and runs on virtually any computer.
