One of the fastest Operating System

  • August 06, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The boot time of the Operating System is significantly less compared to other operating systems. It has mesmerizing soothing looks, like icons, window tabs, etc. The Ubuntu Operating System had high security since it's created on Linux architecture. The UI of Ubuntu is a perfect combination for both types of users, new and advanced users. Provide support for a lot of day-to-day used software. Even if the device has a low-level set of hardware, it works smoothly. The way it supports the latest graphics driver is a blessing in disguise.
What do you dislike about the product?
With time, Ubuntu has developed, and many people have become very user-friendly with the operating system, so it will be rude to say it have any dislikes. Apart from many developments, few improvements are still needed like; it needs official support for some standard Windows applications like Adobe Products, Microsoft Office.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu solved many issues I was facing with windows 10 like slow internet, fast boot and reboot time, frequent lagging of system due to RAM used by other applications. I don't have to wait longer for couple of minutes to start my system. There are support for a lot of typical applications, so it is easier to adapt with Ubuntu for new users like me who recently switched to Ubuntu from Windows 10.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
One should change their Operating System to Ubuntu or keep both Windows and Ubuntu. Ubuntu is straightforward to learn and use, so new users can quickly adapt to this operating system. Also, Ubuntu is faster than Windows 10 with the same resources.

What do you like best about the product?
The interface is very easy to use and it is light! So much faster than the other OS I used.
What do you dislike about the product?
Depending on the software you need, you're going to learn command lines to be able to install it. Also, the risk of a new device not connecting and you need to install drivers manually.

Not having to pay for an OS, and it is fast which means I have much fewer memory issues and slowness.

I found, when i am using Ubuntu This is The Best Operating System

  • August 03, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu I an awesome operating system and no comparison with other OS.it is free of every version, robust, stable, and easy to use.
Ubuntu is the most popular open-source operating system. That makes it a worthy Linux distro. It's highly customizable and has an S/W centre full of apps.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike a little bit using ubuntu for Two major reasons "Popularity" and "Unity".
Ubuntu is so popular that it would easily seem like the flag bearer of Linux. In Ubuntu, the design decision makes sense on mobile devices, or when you use your machine for no more than texting and the internet. But on a laptop or workstation, when you are doing serious work, it's a correctable but nagging efficiency.

Ubuntu being user-friendly in that it puts effort into easy-synching and unifying your ubuntu installations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My Samsung laptop R- series is very old. I was trying to install windows but I felt then I installed ubuntu 20.04 LTS this is working awesome so ubuntu support is excellent and now I am developing projects using ubuntu operating syatem in python and Django I am feeling very easy to install any packages and software using terminal command.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend every person to use ubuntu because this OS is virus-free, safe, and stable. The only route to get infected by the virus if we download files and install self.

First-time will face a little bit of difficulty to use UBUNTU and also you will hate it but after some time you will definitely like this OS and trust me you will never use other OS because Ubuntu is more secure and save comparison to other OS.

Ubuntu should be market leader!

  • July 27, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love the ease and simplicity of ubuntu-desktop; it can take some getting used to due to the main differences between Ubuntu and other operating systems you may be more familiar with. Ubuntu makes the learning process pretty easy, and it's a very intuitive operating system. Throughout my time (2-3 years) using Ubuntu, I have found it to be a very stable OS. Most importantly, Ubuntu is FREE!
What do you dislike about the product?
As mentioned, making the switch from other more popular OS's, does result in somewhat of a learning curve due to the open-source nature of the OS being so different from what we are used to. I have found a few hardware compatibility issues while using ubuntu that always seem to crop up out of nowhere, when least expected, which can be a bit frustrating, more so for home/non-technical users. But these issues do seem few and far between, for me at least.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu predominantly solves the problems surrounding costs. Being a free OS has saved my employer 1000's due to never needing to purchase any licenses for new versions.
