The best OS

  • July 12, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is light, it is fast, it is free and works like a breeze. We can many third-party applications which are very good alternatives to what Microsoft is offering. I love this OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
Fewer options than Windows and no dedicated application store. Some software doesn't work as good as they work in Windows OS. Multi-tasking can be improved more. Minor stability enhancements are required only.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It can run on very minimum hardware requirements. Its very fast and light weight and stable. Works perfectly for my current load. I don't need to pay anything for this.

Ubuntu Desktop - Perhaps the Best Linux

  • July 02, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The most important aspect is that Ubuntu is free. It is a developer's most delightful OS, it is really developer-friendly. It is one of the OS you can easily customize to your taste.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu is interesting to use, but i would say that it is not software-friendly to some popular applications like Microsoft Office, and even Adobe products like photoshop.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apart from from its ease of use and simplicity, Ubuntu Desktop is virus free. Now that has solved the problem of buying software to combat viruses, trojans, malwares and all the like. For any business that is a great plus.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are going to use any Linux based Operating system use an Ubuntu Desktop.

Ubuntu the best os for devs

  • June 26, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ability to customise, ubuntu gives you the power to customise the os to a large extent, also it manages resources very efficiently compared to other os which results in faster performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
The app store, the app store does not have the most commonly used applications like edge, teamviewer also updating the already installed app is a very painful and long process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Better resource utilisation helps me to do multitasking very efficiently. I can run more number of apps very smoothly on ubuntu as compared to other os with same device specification.

One of the best operating softwares for developers

  • June 23, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu Desktop is easy to install and there is a lot of documentation available on how to work with this operating system if you are new to it. It is a lightweight operating system in comparison to others out there.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features provided by Ubuntu can be difficult to understand or work with if you do not have a good idea of what it is. While it might be good for open source development, some basic tasks using text editors seem difficult to use or install (since it is not in-built app).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The latest version of Ubuntu introduces several new features that optimize multitasking in Ubuntu Desktop. Before this version, multitasking didn't seem that efficient in comparison to other operating systems out there. However, with this new feature, we can control the number of active workspaces and organize the tabs more neatly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are an administrator or an open-source developer, then Ubuntu Desktop is one of the most reliable, manageable and easy operating software to use.
