Best Linux Distribution

  • January 13, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu's GUI which resembles the Windows operating system is fabulous. If someone is new to Linux, the first distribution to try and use is Ubuntu. The GUI, the preinstalled applications, ease of use, and the support for a wide variety of devices is truly awesome. Most of the software can be installed directly through the terminal, using the apt package installer. With a single command, a user can install the software. For developers, this distribution is heaven. Developers interested in learning about the operating system should try this distribution. Any modification can be made to not just the applications but also the operating system itself. Everyone is free to redistribute the Ubuntu operating system with any number of modifications. Support for machine learning, data engineering, and artificial engineering is great. Since this is a Linux distribution and not many people are there who are using Linux based operating systems, the number of malware and viruses is also less. In very rare cases there are cyber-attacks happening on Ubuntu.
What do you dislike about the product?
Two things that I don't like about Ubuntu. The first thing is the ubuntu package manager. Only one software can be installed at once. Whereas in Windows operating systems, a user is free to install any number of software concurrently. Second, if someone is looking forward to playing games on Ubuntu, I would like to tell you that this is a Linux distribution, not so many good games are made that run on Linux operating system. Apart from games, a lot of software that requires high GPU are not made for Linux and hence not accessible on this operating system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With the Windows operating system, a developer is not able to feel the liberty and power of working in an open-source space. The free to download and edit open-source software on this operating system is truly exceptional. The learning experience of the command-line interface is truly amazing. Personally, I use this mainly for machine learning and data engineering. The support of TensorFlow and python in this operating system is amazing. Never regretted using this.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
First and foremost, a person should have knowledge about the terminal and working experience with the command-line interface. If someone is looking to switch from Windows to Linux, then this is the best Linux distribution for you. Open-source support is great but at the same time, there may be bugs in the software in the open-source space. Machine learning enthusiasts and data engineers should use this Linux distribution.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
