What do you like best about the product?
You don't have to worry about the virus and is pretty user friendly with its huge community support.
And best part is completely free, so never have to worry about the licenses.
What do you dislike about the product?
You will not be able to run some popular software like Photoshop and Word and a lot of your customers clients would be using the same.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have mostly set up our servers running LAMP, ROR, nginx, mongodb , dotnet core on ubuntu and its easily maintainable and less resource hungry.

Secondly the desktop version are pretty user friendly as a Linux box and most of our developers prefer ubuntu and best part is its free.

Best OS for developers

  • November 02, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ease at which new programs can be installed. Ability to write programs using the text editors and renaming those with appropriate extensions. In comparison with other OS-particularly Windows- this is a massive advantage and makes the tasks easier for the developers. Resolving paths and other necessary minor things needed to build applications are also easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like the built-in backgrounds. The default text editors can be also improved. Particularly gedit can be provided with more default themes and designs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Ubuntu for developing applications for my research in configurable systems. Since my work relies on making kernel level changes, Ubuntu is the best OS for me.

The Best Operating System for Application Development.

  • October 26, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
For Software development, this is the best platform any developer can use, any developer enjoys the bash command line. It's open-source and for most of the software that I use, I do not need to purchase any product key. It is secure, I do not need an antivirus to secure my data. It can run on any hardware no matter how old it is. You are able to run it even without installing it. Ubuntu also supports windows tiling. You are able to update ubuntu even without restarting.
What do you dislike about the product?
For nongeeks this operating system can be a bit challenging since most activities you do, are achieved with the terminal and always asking for root access which can be a hard spot for the majority of people who are not tech-savvy. For graphic designers, this is a hard spot for them, one ubuntu it is really hard to install graphic drivers. The best softwares that are best for graphic design are not available in ubuntu. It is not eye catching like other operating system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using ubuntu to develop and design my web applications and websites.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Most users since day one they started using a computer, they are always familiar with windows, maybe ubuntu can try to reach that audience, by coming up with a software that takes care of the needs of windows, nontech people.

User friendly Linux based operating system.

  • October 24, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu's different "flavours" allow you to personalise your desktop experience to what you'll be primarily using it for.Ubuntu Studio is good for musicians and graphical artists, and has a lot of the standard tools you need pre-installed.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's still Linux, and that means it can be daunting to someone who isn't experienced with that operating system. That being said, more and more of the operating system just works out of the box these days, so it's not as sharp a learning curve as it once was.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've recorded a lot of music using the Ardour DAW. Ubuntu studio allows me to run my firewire audio interface at around 6ms latency so it's basically able to do live processing. That really helps me write and create and hear what I'm doing in realtime.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Download the Studio flavour if you're wanting to write music it's a must.

The best alternative

  • October 23, 2020

What do you like best about the product?
The GUI has already been completely matured: fast visual effects work perfectly, desktop elements are intuitive and useful - simply works.
Frequent updates provide high level reliability.
Hardware compatibilty achieved a wide range, even if minor tweaks might be needed for unique devices, which can easily be resourced by community sites.
Systemd environment provides prompt bootup.
Extensive community support available via the internet.
Wide selection of softwares available.
Complete and pefect internationalization and localization, which is unusual in Hungarian language.
Modest minimum hardware requirements makes it suitable for old devices, too.
What do you dislike about the product?
Default desktop background images are a little weird IMHO
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The available functions and softwares makes it a versatile and widely available tool covering almost all aspects of my personal and professional life. The quick bootup and lack of unexpected interruptions make it best alternative.
