simple, light and highly productive

What do you like best about the product?
The minimalistic design of the operating system is what I like the most. It can run smoothly on old and low spec laptops with exceptional performance. A large community of online users and wide support for apps and technical issues makes it one of the best-operating systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are certain things i dislike and hope it gets better in the future such as
1. It is slow in bringing support to some of the most used applications compared to windows or mac os.
2. It is hard to find the list of installed packages and remove them. Not so intuitive as windows. A simple app with a user interface would be better.
3. it does not let you log in to the system without a password or at least a simple pin which is annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A stable operating system
Smooth functioning of old hardware
Improved productivity
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It takes a while to get used to the ecosystem. But once you get used to it your productivity is next level

Ubuntu is always first cab off the ranks for any update. It just works.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI could be a lot more elegant. Other distros do a much better job.

Ubuntu Desktop is my primary day to day tool, for development, data maintenance and everything else.

Ubuntu: free, open-source and incredible.

What do you like best about the product?
I love how Ubuntu learning curve is literally immense, I use it everyday from several years and I keep discovering new shortcuts, tools or packages that improves my experience by a lot. It is also really really fast and user-friendly, unlike most linux-based OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
I personally dislike the new graphical update, but that's a really little and insignifcant detail. I completely love Ubuntu and I couldn't work with anything else, even though in the previous years security actually become worse and took quite a lot to become better. But nowadays, as far as I know, those security issues are fixed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Ubuntu mainly to develop applications in Python, and a lot of libraries (snips of code) are buggy or hard to install in Windows. In Ubuntu I never had problem installing libraries, it is really easy and it has a LOT of documentation to help anyone with it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You should really focus on getting your batch skill foundation really solid before using it everyday, since it can improve your productivity by a lot.

What do you like best about the product?
Free OS, gets a desktop version, can do almost all the things what a Windows os can do we hall alternative softwares for every software which Windows have and all free of cost.

Requires some knowledge on Linux basics also but working with Ubuntu you learn a lot
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for machine learning projects where setting up environment for ML is not so complicated like other OS and we get python inbuilt and downloading softwares are all with one liner command where lot of dependencies are resolved automatically.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Free to use, more secure, desktop version of Linux, can be a new technological product you would learn by using it.

Ubuntu is my favourite Linux OS

  • September 24, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Free, open source, availability of a lot of support and help on internet and very handy for software development.
What do you dislike about the product?
Terrible battery life, card drivers are awful, and need more work on the user interface to solve some annoying and repetitive bugs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is the operating system that I use at my work. I work as software developer and it's very easy to use Linux because of the need of a lot of ssh, Docker and kubernetes containerization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You need to be patient at the beginning to get used to the OS.

Simple and Powerful Operating System

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is free and open sourced. You get updates and you pay nothing so you get the important updates and feature enhancements and you pay nothing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not all applications are compatible in this environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Compatibility of basic productivity applications. But not really a big issue at this time. If you are not required to use a certain application, you can use free applications that you can access using a browser.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can try it first before deciding on using if permanently, it has this plug and play mode where you can use a flash drive to get going and try the application. If you think this fits your needs, you can go ahead and install it.

A post/review for noobs in the linux community

  • September 20, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubunutu from the very beginning has consistently been upgrading itself and the recent desktop upgrade to GNOME has been the best.
I in particular have used many versions of ubuntu, not just limited to 14.04, 16.04 and 18.04.
Ubuntu is also the best in maintaining security for its users and constant updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing I dislike is I can't use some of my favourite softwares on Ubuntu, for example Adobe softwares (Acrobat, photoshop etc), microsoft office, onedrive, Google drive and games like csgo, GTA etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving the problems of security with ubuntu, since it is almost impossible to hack the root directory of any linux based distro.
The benefits I have realised are that ubuntu is very fast in booting, I have a Pentium laptop with ubuntu that boots faster than my other laptop with i5 and windows.
Also, I have noted that ubuntu keeps the memory processes at low thus giving much faster environment to work with.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just go for it, and you will never look back again.
