    Computer Software

One of the easiest Linux OS to use

  • July 25, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like so much that's so similar to windows talking about the user interface, that's easy to navigate and use and a windows user can change to Ubuntu without lot of issues. You can find in Ubuntu a "Windows" interface with a lot of customization. All of that with the advantages of free source and Linux OS, it saved me lot of times when windows was not able to delete certain files that with Ubuntu was easy job. And it's free!
What do you dislike about the product?
I hate it so much to install drivers, it's not as easy as in windows and you need to download drivers and package with prompt,and it freezes sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used it for lot of projects in my computer engineering career, to simulate 3D environments with physics through qt editor based on opengl.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are a windows user and you consider Ubuntu or KDE, pick Ubuntu, it's so easy to do and you'll find the transition between windows and Linux not a big deal. I think that's a really friendly OS.

The worst thing is that you can't use all the programs because some are only for windows.
