Ubuntu is a very good Os to work with, Completelt Professional

  • December 03, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ease of doing stuff using the terminal. And the ease of doing stuff so easily with a basic command makes everything so simple, things get installed in just a simple terminal command. Also, The complexity of using software is very less

Ubuntu is very fast as compared to other Os. It's boot time is very less and it is a light weight software.

Whille working open source, it gets very comfortable with ubuntu to do collaboration wioth people using git and command line.

and Many of the tech leading Multi national Companies have been using ubuntu for their high classs softwares
What do you dislike about the product?
The GUI interface of Ubuntu is not quite so impressive. Some Applications which are specifically built for windows in .exe or .mse format cant be used in ubuntu, they cant even be installed using wine software also

It has a disadvantage of not being able to use gaming applications and some other application are also not supported by ubuntu, but it makes the work very easier with coding and stuff
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been solving the problems related to web developement , recently i did an open source proect using ubuntu, which gave me compete ease to work in collaboration with other contributors very easily, but it has some formats which are not allowed in ubuntu . So, that way i find some other OS to be more comfortable

Besides making open source at an ease, ubuntu has made the life of every Information Technology Based person at ease,
I recently did an internship with a leading software based company and the whole project was based on Ubuntu Kernel , as it provides us a mehanism to interact with yhe linux shell and explore new things to develop and invent stuff

It's hands down the best OS for a developer.

What do you like best about the product?
The fact that Ubuntu bypasses traditional GUI bases model that Windows offers, and goes operational through command line, it's very easy for a software engineer who is well familiar with the technology stack. Plus, the security offerings adds another icing on the cake.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the big fixes remain unresolved for a longer duration. And when you dual boot your system, it tends to lock your NTFS system in more than once occasions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's fast paced, and helps me alot with setting up a Machine Learning environment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can go for it without a second thought.

Way forward with Software Development

  • December 01, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the way ubuntu utilities the resources like cpu and ram. It is quite efficient than windows based os. Not only the efficient usage of resources but it comes with out of the box ready features for software developers. I like its kernal. It is the simplest but the unique. It is robust and not affected by viruses normally.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only thing I dislike about ubuntu is that it is not very easily for normal people. installing softwares are not as simple as in windows os. some of the softwares are only compatible with windows. I should have a feature to easily virtualise windows based softwares. Solution to this problem do exist but they are not very stable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
On a daily basis, I search for different texts that are present in hundreds of files. I use grep command to easily look for those files. I can easily uncompress files using gunzip. So in my day to day life. ubuntu makes it better.

awesome open-source and capable OS

  • November 23, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Best part is that it is open source and free for all . Unlike the other Linux distributions Ubuntu is very beginner friendly and have very clean user interface which is also improving day by day.Ubuntu constantly releases update and security patches.This is the best you OS for developers and programmers (personal opinion) because everything is combustible unlike mac OS.The biggest reason to love Ubuntu is the community behind it. you can ask your queries on askubuntu.com and you will get response within no time .
What do you dislike about the product?
Since it is opensource there are some problems as well. You will struggle to get good software available for day to day tasks. Even it is difficult to get a fully working video editor for Ubuntu.Many companies don't provide their native apps for Linux due to their small user base.And it sometimes stuck and crashes as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is a life savior for a programmer. You can install the packages just by running a simple command in terminal and everything will be setup.Most of the tools like gcc,g++ are designed for Linux works well with Ubuntu but for windows you need plugins to run them.
It's also a lightweight OS used less amount of ram and works well on low end PCs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to be a programmer you will definitely like it.If you are a normal user just give a try to it you will get more insides of how a OS works.

the best operating system I have used of all linux

  • November 20, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the user interface and customization that it has. I have used it for different purposes such as web application development, virtualization, technical support, games and entertainment, I really like the amount of associated software that helps improve the user experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only problem that I have been able to find is the same in all linux. nothing is that simple and many times it is necessary to resort to forums and help to solve compatibility problems or report bugs that cause the OS to freeze.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've been using it lately to improve my team's performance in team virtualization. It has helped me keep multiple functional environments in operation on my computer without the need to acquire more resources or upgrade to solid state units
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sometimes talking about linux makes many lose their minds and opt for classic operating systems. Ubuntu has been an operating system characterized by user experience, it is undoubtedly the best Linux environment and can help optimize and better use the resources of the computers. especially the reading and writing of the hard disk. It's a good idea to give this free software operating system a try.
