Ubuntu is very easy to start with. For all developer the terminal is a must. Ubuntu also have a great community and its mostly used debian Distro. I love ubuntu. The community is very helpful.

Few software like Microsoft Office and professional Photo editing tools like photoshop are not available. I used Sketch for most of my prototyping, unfortunately this is also not available for ubuntu.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are software developers. We mostly write codes on our machines. Most of our development is deploying server architecture and our servers are also Linux distros, so ubuntu helps us to test our code locally.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is the most stable distro that i have used. The online community is very active. Its vast archives of Q and A make debugging an issue an absolute breeze.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu environment has developed significantly in the past to take advantage of the GPU cores, but it still lacks the rendering infrastructure compared to windows. This can be improved.

I have been using it for IoT development, coding raspberry 4, Qualcomm chips etc. The OS offers some neat built-in tools that come in handy. Also installing network tools like Wireshark and putty is a breeze.

It could be better if the file-sharing feature is easy

Better os for developers

  • April 21, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
If you are developer and you are not fond of gaming then blindly go for any linux distro(Ubuntu for beginners)
The main point of using any linux distro is the privacy and customisation. You can use whatever desktop environment you want may be it's gnome or kde plasma. Everything you can do with linux OS. After using Ubuntu as my primary os I totally forget about windows.
What do you dislike about the product?
Almost nothing. But if you are beginner then you may face issue as for now linux is far better but sometimes you need to face problem.A simple example would be it can be crash but you can't complain as it's open source and free but one pluspoint is what there is a very large community.
Linux means you need to have skill so simple.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Let me tell you a interesting point what if I tell you that you can make your pc look like Mac os. If you are using gnome there are lots of extensions out there which you can use and make your work productive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go ahead if you want to try some new things.

Ubuntu is a free and open-source operating system and runs on most computer

  • April 20, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu has been a steady force in the open source community for years now. Also, It comes with ZFS, a combined file system and logical volume manager, which is extremely efficient and powerful.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you've been using Ubuntu on the desktop or server for a while, you may not find enough new in the release to tempt you to upgrade. Also, newer versions tend to no longer support older computers. Which is a little disappointing for a Linux distribution
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have always loved ubuntu and use it everyday. The fact that it is free and runs on older hardware is great. I dual boot mine with Windows 10. I would recommend this OS for only older machines
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu is a fantastic operating system. I use it everyday as a dual boot option on my laptop and desktop. It's so easy to use and works great. It's sleek design is also very appealing and it's great for gaming.

Ubuntu Linux Server

  • April 20, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu Linux Server is the only real free Linux OS. And it is the best Linux for personal computing.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Apache config file structure is changed too much from the standard apache installation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Ubuntu for LAMP applications. It is totally free of charge, I don't need to worry about being forced to pay later (referring to what Oracle does to Java SE).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu Server is good for LAMP and is popular on AWS. But not many commercial RDBMSs are certified on it.
