Born GNU, command line tools a pretty perfect as well as the system's stability. Love the way the boot times are quite fast and 'apt' tools works seamsly. Defintively recommend it.

Nothing to dislike about it. The system runs with more pros than expected and since it is free, it deals with a perfect world of innovation, usability, estability and commodity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation RPA for reporting, automatic backups, AI laboratory tests (specually LLMs). Deeplearning tests and probes including machine learning. Notwithstanding, it also provides me ETL support.

Light, free, the development environment for everyone

  • September 05, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Its UI has been made accessible and friendlier over the years with smooth transitions and feel thanks to GNOME. It is the most accessible and easiest environment to get into Linux with. The themes and customization options are quite broad. Its ISO and system load is lighter on the hardware than Windows flavors are and customization options are even broader by utilizing the BASH and CLIs. Many software tools have support for its distributions, so I can setup development SDKs of even lesser-known packages with more ease than I can on Windows or MacOS.
What do you dislike about the product?
The CLI and the overall reliance on Bash commands and modules to fix certain things about your OS, from drivers to orientation to UI, make things more compicated than Windows. Despite its UI offering a lot more than it used to, the settings are still limited in what you see compared to what you don't know you can do with the terminal. When I install packages, using apt or apt-get, it can be hard to completely remove them when dependencies get installed. I need to scrutinize what other packages got shipped with it that were not removed because the system still thinks I need them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All my development work is done on Ubuntu, because most software tools contain installation instructions tailored to Ubuntu (that they might not for even MacOS or Windows). The UI also distracts me a lot less as compared to Windows. There are some packages that work only on a Linux-based environment, and there are less complications in setting them up here than on Kali or Bodhi Linux. It also comes with several commonly-used packages on its install, like gcc, git and openssl, hence, every time I do a fresh installation, I do not have to set these up myself.

Ubuntu Server Review: A Stable Foundation for Your Infrastructure

  • September 05, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu Server LTS (Long Term Support) releases are known for their stability and reliability. They receive updates and security patches for five years, providing a solid foundation for server infrastructure.
Ubuntu Server benefits from regular security updates and a large community of users who actively report and address vulnerabilities. Additionally, features like AppArmor and UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall) help enhance server security.
What do you dislike about the product?
While LTS (Long Term Support) releases receive updates and security patches for five years, non-LTS releases have a shorter support period, typically around nine months. This means more frequent upgrades are necessary for users who prefer the latest software.
Ubuntu Server, like many modern Linux distributions, may consume more system resources compared to lightweight alternatives. This could be a concern for servers with very limited resources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu Server provides a stable and reliable platform for hosting web applications, databases, file servers, email servers, and more. This helps businesses ensure that their critical services are available to users and clients.
Ubuntu Server is open source and free to use, which can significantly reduce licensing costs compared to proprietary server operating systems. This cost savings can be especially beneficial for small and medium-sized businesses.

Ubuntu - Open source Linux Distribution

  • September 04, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is the linux based OS that is really easy to use and similar to windows. It's easy to navigate and offers all the linux features, bundled with support of a lot of softwares.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Ubuntu software centre is not most stable app. It has crashed multiple times when installing a big app like Google chrome. This can be improved, and I think that's the most irritating feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It provides me the open source OS, that is compatible to most hardware, and has inbuilt or web available drivers. All in all provides a great bridge between Windows and Linux.

The best server and Live OS

  • August 29, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
extremily easy to use, the command line happens to be intuitive and most of all it's based on Debian, because of this gets enormous software support, also the fact that it is developed by Canonical probably helps with driver support by third parties (since they likely advertise it)
also for prouduction use you can pay canonical for help in case you need it.
What do you dislike about the product?
sometimes is a bit of an overkill so I choose to switch to alpine linux, probably is not as good as redhat in some instances but still pretty good for most of my use cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu comes is very useful as a recovery tool among with it's dedicated variants, also I found it to be the best one to be used as server side operative system (though it's actually the only one which I am used to along with alpine linux)
