Ubuntu: An Excellent Operating System for Business and Personal Uses

  • December 15, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Before my current job, I had been a Windows user my entire life, and I love that Ubuntu has far less bloatware than Windows and the operating system feels far less intrusive and lightweight. I also enjoy using the terminal on Ubuntu and it plays a much more significant role on Ubuntu than on Windows or Mac.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only real complaint with Ubuntu is that some software isn't compatible with the operating system, forcing you to run it on a virtual machine or special software like Wine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Many people at my company exclusively use Linux to do many essential tasks to help create a robust self-driving vehicle platform, including myself. Ubuntu's lightweight framework makes it easy for our computers to perform computationally expensive tasks all day.

1. The user interface is one of the best . Its fast, clean and is not as resource hungry as windows.

The most easy to use Linux distribution ever

  • December 10, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is easy to install, set up, and easy to use by any level of experienced users. Ubuntu has a wide range of support software and device drivers that makes Ubuntu the first choice of free and open-source OS globally, which proprietary vendors do not back. Ubuntu makes technology available for everyone without discrimination. To use Ubuntu, you do not need to pay a single penny. That is the beauty of Ubuntu.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu inherits some features of Linux that make it hard to work sometimes, significantly drive mounting, file system management. Sometimes Ubuntu takes some time to release hardware drivers for new hardware devices. Some users find it challenging to adapt to Ubuntu because there are few video tutorials to do some specific tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All our workstations use Ubuntu as our primary operating system. Because of this, we could save thousands of dollars every year. Also, we could save a lot of time that we need to do OS training
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I am highly recommending Ubuntu to anyone who is looking for a free and open-source hassle-free OS to reduce the operational cost of their organizations. Using Ubuntu, you can significantly reduce user training and find a lot of free and open-source productivity software that can seamlessly work with Ubuntu.
