Ubuntu is the first to mention about Linux distro choice

  • February 19, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu has been best at updating its packages and security updates, latest package versions where it helps many developers use recent libraries. Also its LTS version is a way to have stable updates and support for production servers. Upgrading LTS version to newest LTS is also a smooth process available by Ubuntu.
What do you dislike about the product?
Frequent updates sometimes require restart where it may trouble monolith systems as production is always ongoing. Uptime records may not be high.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The availability of packages is the most benefit I get from Ubuntu, besides their latest versions of the packages. Many third party apps require latest versions of dependencies.

Moving to Ubuntu was a decision I would never regret because it solved lot of issues I was facing with windows 10. Ubuntu solved my issues like slow internet, fast boot time , frequent hanging.

Ubuntu is Love

  • January 25, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like how secure Ubuntu is. Unlike windows, any problem in ubuntu can be solved on our own. They have a great community called askubuntu, where we can ask questions, and it's solved within no time.

Upgrading to a new version is very easy.
It's secure
It's fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the fact that the initial setup can be painful for non-ubuntu users. Ubuntu is power-intensive; it consumes too much power. The battery is drained very frequently.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a DevOps professional, and I need a Linux-based operating system. And Ubuntu stands out among all Linux-based available OSs.
I use it to connect to cloud servers, running python locally for testing my programs. Shell scripting is so easy on Linux. I love it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're into DevOps, you have to use Ubuntu. You'll love it.
