  • November 03, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is the best OS of linux , it is the sweet spot between windows and Linux , very user-friendly and easy to use, I am using ubuntu in my organization and I have not a single complaint about the user experience that Ubuntu provide to its end users. It is a very lightweight OS loads fast on power-on and closes instantly on power-off. If you are using SSD on ubuntu that will be hell-fast. I use VS code and IntelliJ on Ubuntu to develop web applications and it runs those software very smoothly.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be tricky to install ubuntu for new users, who are new to Linux environment, software updates are limited to ubuntu which can sometimes be a tedious task. otherwise, ubuntu does give any chance of complaint to its users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a software developer, I use ubuntu terminal and other apps like VS code to develop code, test the application, run the servers and ubuntu provides a really good experience in doing all those things. Due to its lightweight OS it runs very smoothly over the system and consumes very less resources to run OS so you have more free resources to do your tasks and all.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend ubuntu to users who use the terminal often and want some good UI experience also , it is a lightweight OS it so it runs smoothly.

Most Secured Linux Operating System

  • October 24, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is extraordinary on the grounds that it allows you to tweak to what you need for your PC. Ubuntu makes the learning system pretty simple, and it's an extremely instinctive working framework. I like how they further develop Ubuntu, at regular intervals with new deliveries. LTS adaptations are a great thought for stable conditions and purposes. A portion of the applications is as of now preinstalled in this framework which fulfills the essential requirements like browsing. This choice is an extremely conservative choice in the working frameworks. It's actually lightweight, so we can reuse old equipment. You have the opportunity to make something you need. With Windows or Mac OS, you can't redo the working framework to how you need it to be.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have much to dislike it but switching from Windows to Ubuntu is a little bit difficult for beginners. Finding support for application similarity and other stuff is troublesome. A few virtual products are not viable with ubuntu and we don't get the required drivers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
t's simple to distinguish a number of cycle rattle off and count and furthermore oversee server arrangement and server load through the appropriation through the heap balancer. It's simple to utilize like windows however it's quicker and stable than it and it's quick on startup and closure the GUI and the Desktop appearance and it's simple to utilize like windows.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Since its Command line tool is the most powerful, so I will highly recommend it for the software development-related folks to use.

Secured OS with good UI

  • October 21, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Executing Linux commands in the Ubuntu terminal makes me feel like a hacker. The scope for this OS would be only developers/engineers. Other naive users won't be able to do basic tasks on ubuntu as they will be new to the terminal.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not able to install chrome on ubuntu.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I.ve used ubuntu for my work. I was using it for the sake of fun.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Those who have the craze for the terminal can opt for this OS.

Latest Ubuntu releases 21.04 hirsuite, ZFS out of the box, huge win for migrating FreeBSD to Linux.

  • October 21, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is free, unlike RHEL, and doesn't require using a clone like CentOS. I've always preferred the deb packaging system over rpm. Ubuntu releases stick much closer to the cutting edge releases of major pieces of software, e.g. apache, node, nginx, bind, postfix, clang, etc, etc. It is less conservative than RHEL in this respect.
What do you dislike about the product?
Canonical hacks own code sometimes, company is smaller, less FOSS-dedicated - at least this is perception. Things like amazon ads on ubuntus menu, age of snap (e.g. vs flatpak). Mostly not much to dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Linux w/ ZFS out of box, packaging very up to date, commercial but less so than RHEL, supports docker, snaps, and deb/apt pkg system (in addition to language specific things like npm, pip/pyenv, yarn, ruby gems, etc etc). Security conscious.

Ubuntu is a freeware secured operating system which is user-friendly that requires low system requirements and supported by ubuntu support community.

Ubuntu can't be able to play mp3 audio files as audio driver support is not feasible in it.

Lightweight, ready to use linux environment

  • October 15, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like how they improve Ubuntu, every 6 months with new releases. LTS versions are an excellent idea for stable environments and purposes. It's very lightweight, so we can reuse old hardware. It's also possible to try different flavours of their Desktop environment, like KDE or XFCE. There's a huge community where we can find solutions and solve problems. Very large package library. No need to set antiviruses. No licenses costs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometime they lose time and energy in something not very useful as unity or Ubuntu One. Also Xorg vs Wayland, letting users decide, is not the best for me. There is no Ubuntu Cloud or embedded solution to smoothly move from one laptop to a new one. The transition roadmap to new package systems is not clear (flatpack and so). Release upgrade can sometimes ask questions that not all users can answer, i.e. about what to do with grub.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Ubuntu Desktop, we can use an OS completely free, even on old hardware, that comes with all we need to work. As we have also many ubuntu servers running, we can be ready to manage them with no effort or changing the way packages installs or bash works.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use LTS versions, take a look at bash and terminal use, do not expect to get all Windows exe running flawlessly, but at 99% you'll find a solution or replacement. Try it on a real hardware, not only in a virtual machine, so you'll be able to check if is compliant with your hw. Dual boot is a good idea to start using it.
