Budget friendly OS that packs a punch

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is flexible, customizable, fast and light weight as compared to some other systems. Ubuntu is easy to install, easy to maintain. It can easily integrate with other softwares and if it can't the. there is always a version of it or software be ran thru wine.
What do you dislike about the product?
Users need to be very familiar with Unix or else it will be hard to get around the system. The OS GUI is still a bit clunky. Typically I always customize the graphical interface to meet my needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu solves my budget and tuning cost. I can run web servers, report servers and database systems without much complications. Of course everything still ties to the underlying hardware but if I need to deploy on production mode then I can always move the OS image to a VM that has powerful specs. Another great benefit to running Ubuntu is that it is already Unix based so running or converting tools from other Unix based OS is not that hard.

Daily Ubuntu user review

  • 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.
