The most required application had been preinstalled like Libre Office(Presentation, Draw, Writer, and Calc). It is a cost-efficient OS. We
The frequent kernel update make Ubuntu support the most recent hardware.

Not all application which runs on Windows can run on Ubuntu. But we can use Wine(Windows Emulator) to emulate some Windows based applications.
Many vendor provides their Ubuntu version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I need to develop a program using Python, using Ubuntu I can easily install Python, code using it, and finished the program, and got the payment.

I realized that nowadays many servers are using Ubuntu, so my familiarity with Ubuntu gives me many benefits, so I can easily install a lot of applications on a Ubuntu server.

Best OS for developers

  • May 19, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu has the best interface and terminal to execute and test apps, websites, code and software. I have been using Ubuntu for more than 6 years and I have been able to smoothly avoid the technical glitches of Windows systems. It is faster and has ample power to run code and is more friendly to editors. The sudo command helps user take administrator control using just a single line.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not as media and internet friendly as Windows systems. Sound interface and video streaming is a little glitchy and needs work. Not user friendly for non technical users that need just to unwind and watch a movie. It is meant for software development.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Ubuntu to build apps, integrate frontend with backend, run processes, test code, add features and build containers, run scripts, etc. I can then even remotely integrate code into production and see it run smoothly on Windows systems as well. Benefits mainly are most third party softwares that I use for development and modules, etc can be easily installed on Ubuntu as it is Linux based.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is open source with no support but if used the right way it can be an amazing platform to use for development and integration.

What do you like best about the product?
Process in Ubuntu Linux can be controlled and customized.
Applications that are deployed run fast and are easily scalable.
It is open source which I really like. It is also user friendly. It is very versatile, as a lot of free and open-source software. We find it extremely reliable as a desktop and server OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not as much support for apps as Windows, so its reach should be widened.
No dedicated support to contact through if anyone need it.
Not much suitable for beginners on the instal
In my opinion. One downside is that if you are not familiar with Ubuntu Linux, it can be very confusing; however, once you have a grasp of the concepts and fundamentals, it is a breeze to manage. Linux is more of a do it yourself OS
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I see for Ubuntu to help manage cloud applications. It is easy to implement on Linux based systems and is more safe and reliable in case of process management.
It also addresses. Problems on windows machines. Flexibility. It is easy to add and remove services. As our business needs change, so can our Ubuntu Linux system
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu Server setups are great for most server solutions. Security is good enough and usability is off the charts compared with other alternatives. The most common use for Ubuntu Linux is probably for web-based applications.

The evolution of GNU/Linux Debian to a friendly operating system

  • May 15, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu became an important advance to bring to common users, an operating system like GNU / Linux that is aimed at computer and systems professionals. Its simple installation and requirements of few hardware resources, has made it the favorite of many people who previously only used Windows-based operating systems, and who now had the opportunity to manage a robust, safe and cost-free operating system.
What do you dislike about the product?
Despite having more than 16 years in the market, Ubuntu is still a challenge to be used by some home users, because concepts such as hard disk partitioning, is only reserved for advanced users.
In addition, it continues to present some flaws when installed on very modern computers or computers that have hardware restrictions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a computer engineer it allows me to develop software that is perfectly adapted to the most common platforms and operating systems; all this in a fast and simple way, allowing me to save time in the development of the applications.
