I am a machine learning architect and I have been Ubuntu for years

  • November 19, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu runs a linux kernel and is a pythonic operating system. Python being one of the most popular choice for development in my field, ubuntu really is the ideal choice. I personally have developed systems which were a pain to run on Windows but perform excellently on Ubuntu. Another use is for cross platform deployment, where you can containerize an environment with ubuntu running inside and be assured that your microservice will be platform independent.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only caveat is that the operating system gives you access to very low level workings of the system which requires a certain know how. However, once you're adept at it, the same principle makes installation of several dependencies a breeze.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I regularly work with ubuntu to develop machine learning solutions. I work on several frameworks such tensorflow, pytorch and I use ubuntu as a development environment to train deep learning models and build end to end systems.

The dependency installations are very simple and accessing hardware such as gpus, cameras with software packages is very simple.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would advise you to consider your use case when choosing an operating system. Ubuntu is the best for development in my opinion. Even more deployment. However if the end user is to use the system it is not the best at UI/UX.
