What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is an open-source server operating system with a large community platform that solves various problems. The best part is that it is based on Debian, so Debian also commands work on Ubuntu.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some, time update server link is not working. But if we change the source link, then the update works fine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
my client needs a local server that handles multiple sites, webpages, API, or data storage. Then we created a local Ubuntu server-based pc and installed them with the required applications like node-red,apache2,nodejs,python2, python, and MTTQ, and now the server has been running for the last one year and six months without any issues.

Stable OS and suitable for low-end devices

  • May 24, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I use Ubuntu Linux as my primary operating system on my personal device.

What is most valuable?

Firstly, it's open source, and secondly, I like its computation speed compared to Windows and other similar features.

What needs improvement?

Sometimes certain tasks are challenging due to issues with the command-line interface. Users who prefer Windows may find it difficult to transition to Linux. So, I believe Linux could enhance its user interface to make it more user-friendly for a wider range of users.

Therefore, I suggest improving the user interface.

In additional features, I would like to add an additional software store alongside the existing one. Similar to the Microsoft Store, it offers a wide range of software options.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using it since 2016. I am using version 22.0 LTS.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Ubuntu Linux have two types of releases. The first one is LTS (Long Term Support), and they also release short-term support versions every nine months. I mostly prefer the LTS version because they are the most stable.

How are customer service and support?

I have utilized community forums for VMware-related queries.

How was the initial setup?

For the general public, I don't think it's easy because most OS installations are typically handled by engineers or service center guys. So, for non-technical users, it's similar to installing Windows or any other operating system.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Ubuntu Linux is free for personal use, including business use. However, if you require enterprise-level support from their team, you need to pay a subscription fee. Ubuntu offers custom pricing that may vary based on the business requirements.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

When I started using it initially, it had better accessibility and speed. I have a low-end laptop with an AMD processor that doesn't work well with Windows. So, I chose Ubuntu Linux as it works efficiently on that device too.

What other advice do I have?

You should give Ubuntu Linux a try. I would give it a ten. It's the best, in my opinion.

Ubuntu OS: A Powerful and User-Friendly Operating System

  • May 12, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I can declare with confidence that Ubuntu is one of the most impressive and user-friendly operating systems out there because I've used it for a very long time. The simplicity of Ubuntu's procedure for installation is one of its best qualities. The procedure is simple, and the operating system has an intuitive interface that makes setup easier. Even those who are unfamiliar with Linux-based computers may handle the installation process with ease and have Ubuntu up and running in no time.

I appreciated Ubuntu's speed, adaptability, and command line capability the best as a software developer. One of the fastest and most dependable operating systems, Ubuntu can function flawlessly even with relatively basic hardware setups. Ubuntu operates well on a variety of platforms, including desktops, laptops, and servers, thanks to its broad hardware compatibility. Cross-platform compatibility is ensured by the ability of programmers to create and test their applications on many hardware setups.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although Ubuntu is a well-liked and respected operating system, there are a few drawbacks that users should be aware of. For people used to other operating systems like Windows or macOS, Ubuntu, like any Linux-based operating system, may require some getting used to. For people unfamiliar with Linux, learning how to use command-line tools and navigate the terminal may take some initial effort. Although Ubuntu has a sizable software library and supports a wide range of programs, some proprietary software or specialized industry-specific tools might not be entirely compatible with Ubuntu or have limited availability. Also, ubuntu does not support any high graphics-related stuff so for graphics designers and gamers this OS is no go.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have to create a wide variety of computer software and mobile applications in my capacity as a developer. Even though I have a laptop with a modest configuration, Ubuntu is greatly assisting me in finishing my responsibilities. By using Ubuntu as my main operating system, I can manage and build up cloud linux servers with ease, allowing me to deliver applications and websites with zero downtime.

Best Free open source OS for desktop and servers

  • April 24, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu Server is Open source, and anyone can use it. Very Light OS, which can be installed on any machine with a Low CPU and Memory Machine, Has an excellent Community to build it better, and mainly all the languages are supported worldwide. It is far better than Windows OS. Ubuntu Belong to the Linux Family, and most coders choose Ubuntu to write codes and develop the programme. Most Importantly, it will not restart to install new drivers over the Windows OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
Users must be a little techie to understand the OS workings, and we can not use MS Office on Ubuntu OS, which is not required if we are using it for servers. Since its free, ware no dedicated support for the operating system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Ubuntu Server is Freeware and community-based. We do need to pay extra cost to use it. If we face an issue, simply look online. Since the community is too big, we will never get stuck over problems.
2. Very Lighe OS, which runs on minimum CPU and Memory resources
3. we can manage our server with roles-based and permission-based, where we can control how we want to use our files.
4. APT repository ready and available where we need to install new applications or programmes.
5. Mostly Databases servers are running on Ubuntu Server,
6. Top-notch security.
