  • November 02, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

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.


    Computer Software

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.
