I have installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on my desktop two months back.

  • August 17, 2018

What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Ubuntu 18.04 as my workstation, for the past sixty days and the operating system is working in perfect condition and, so far I have not faced any problem even after using it, for so many hours in a day.
The best thing I like about Ubuntu 18.04 is its software repository as it has all sorts of software available for developers as well as for graphic designers right from IDE's to Libra Office and the installation process for the software is quite easy. For music lovers, there is Rhythm box and, for capturing the screenshots there is Screenshot available.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only problem that, I don't like with this Linux operating system is its slowness, for starting, it takes quite some time to set itself for functioning properly and even for opening the browser like firefox it is quite slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a Web developer, I use atom for IDE and the browsers like Firefox and Chrome for testing the web pages and sometimes I use Inkscape, for graphics and for word processing I use Libra office and Tomboy. The greatest benefit of using Ubuntu 18.04, is its free software repository and it is quite useful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I will highly recommend Ubuntu 18.04 to others as its installation is quite easy and there are thousands of free software in its repository.

The lack of uniformity among desktop environments, which is a disadvantage when it comes to being more widely used in offices, but at the same time provides richness and options for the user.

Recover PCs with limited resources, install open-source software to reduce costs, serve for training in sysops for new technicians

Ubuntu is the best desktop distribution

  • August 13, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is one of the distributions that is making the most effort because it is the desktop GNU / Linux distribution number one. Its constant updates and new features, its support, its stability, its graphical interface, more and more intuitive and careful, its graphic improvements. All this is getting more and more achieved for the end user, and that this, each time has fewer shortcomings since his arrival in Linux.
What do you dislike about the product?
In the latest versions of ubuntu, the UNITY desktop manager has been using, which I believe is not up to ubuntu, is slow, heavy and unfocused.
On the other hand, it gives me the impression that it is being sold in commercial interests
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
More than half of my users use it as a desktop operating system, with some great results. I also use it on some non-critical servers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the LTS versions, the last one ubuntu 18.04

If you are thinking of implement something in windows paying for it, first look in Linux if you can make it for free.

What do you like best about the product?
Is easy to use and friendly. You can use this system as the main operative system.

It has still problems for gamers. It has bugs on the interface and It can be hard to configure sometimes. The main theme is not the best I saw in Linux

It is nice for programming. If you want a system for working, Ubuntu can be one of the best options for you.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Linux is a world apart. If you want a new operative system, and you are starting as a Linux user, this can be a nice option for you.

The software store and .deb packages are nice. There are a lot of apps that you can install in your Pc and use in UIbuntu
