Great OS for Office and Multimedia

  • August 04, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is easy to use and it is quick to start apps. Easy to install safe apps and not prone to viruses. It was also easy to connect an Android phone and get photos from the disk.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the fact that there is usage tracking for the "Search Apps" feature right in the OS, this is not normal for an open source OS.
But apart from that, there are not many things that I dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
More stable than Windows, don't need frequent updates, does not need as much RAM memory and quick. Native multi-desktop.

Ubuntu: features and benefits.

  • August 02, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu has libre office and is really easy to use. Ubuntu has faster install and faster boot and hence less time is required to set it up. Also the theme variants can be customised according to our needs. It also provides us with faster and minimal install options.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I dislike the most about Ubuntu is that it does not follow standards. Ubuntu breaks all the standards of linux. The error messages of ubuntu are also hard to solve and the graphic drivers are really hard to install.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am highly interested in computer networks and previously I use to practice in windows but as soon as I switched to ubuntu I was impressed. I was able to use a lot more features and commands than windows. Also I did some experiments through wireshark and also worked on the backdoor problem.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have been using it for years and the level of security it provides is commendable. It provides features which are easy for use and are really helpful in testing the networking of computers

It was a great experience with Ubuntu Operating System.

  • August 01, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is free to download and open source, anyone can easily install and use Ubuntu OS.
Also, there is no disk partition structure, so we can store content wherever we want.
It looks more clear vision when i play same video in Ubuntu.
It is working great also when i work from remote location, by remote connection.

I like most is Ubuntu terminal, it's like magic trick when you know most commands to do some operations.
What do you dislike about the product?
One time it hangs when i was using heavy software.
I have enough RAM, but some times, some heavy process starts, it hangs for sometime.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using OS for learning Shell script commands in terminal.
First i like strong terminal base, which helps me a lot to manage things with finger-tail.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
To be honest, it is very wonderful and secured operation system you can rely on.
If you a student, then you can learn lot of things.
Because it is also important to work in terminal as compared to of user interface.
Because in future, if you want to resolve issues or perform some operations in this operating system, then you need to be master enough in command line tools.

It is a great distribution based on Debian with anything that and new end user need to learn Linux

  • August 01, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It has a user friendly interface, with graphical items for new users and the linux console for experienced users. Also it is good to mention that the community is the bigger one and they are always willing to help you.
What do you dislike about the product?
The developers has improved the graphical interface with at the cost of a high price (consuming more resources) so, also It has become slower. Sometimes looks like Ubuntu won't be free anymore in the future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use a lot the linux console because I work with communications protocols as SNMP, so I can create some scripts and scheduling them with cron.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are faster linux distributions based on debian, but the best knowledge is on ubuntu community. They have answers for everything and if you don't know something or need help they collaborate with you.

The most powerful platform in the operating system world

  • August 01, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As I mentioned in the title it is the most powerful operating system. Nowadays everyone is using an open-source platform in terms of tools, monitoring systems, implementation software, etc. The ubuntu is supporting all of above things.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some flaws and bugs also in the Ubuntu as well but that would not be going to impact anything. So as per my knowledge no major dislikes for Ubuntu.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I hadn't found major problems with Ubuntu at the time of implementation of the open-source software. Truly I observed many benefits using Ubuntu for open software implementation. It supports almost every opensource tool and very good support also available.

Make the switch from Windows to Linux, with Ubuntu!

  • July 30, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Open Source software, which is great with the ending of Windows 7 and the forced migration to Windows 10. Ubuntu is a great alternative to Windows and has many resources available to it all over the internet..from beginner tips, to advanced solutions/customization of the OS that the whole user community is ready to healp with.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the community is great to get assistance from, searching for the topic first can get cumbersome, especially the more edge solution you are looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The license free software that is available to the OS is a huge benefit. The integrated networking tools makes administration easier for pros.

Excellent for servers and a solid desktop

  • July 27, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Rock-solid and rarely crashes, and is fairly easy to maintain.

Can be a bit finicky with certain hardware, particularly if the manufacturer doesn't have open source drivers available.
