What is most valuable?
Ubuntu Linux is user-friendly through the command line. The packages inside the repository are built-in, which allows for easy installation from the server environment without relying on third-party applications. Additionally, Ubuntu Linux supports remote troubleshooting via SSH, allowing connection from anywhere, which is beneficial for troubleshooting server issues.
What needs improvement?
We face minor issues with the regular upgrade; manual upgrades are required. There have been network configuration issues, specifically with netplan.yaml. Unlike CentOS, Ubuntu Linux lacks an easily accessible inbuilt repository where dependencies or packages are easily found.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Ubuntu Linux for about one and a half years.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
Deploying on-premises can take about twenty minutes, but with a good network, it can be faster. For cloud deployments via our jump servers, it takes less than ten minutes.

I would recommend using Ubuntu Linux as it is easy to handle. The biggest benefit is the ability to connect through SSH for remote troubleshooting. My total rating for Ubuntu Linux is ten out of ten.
Ensures a seamless and secure environment for development with exceptional integration and support
What is our primary use case?
I have been using Ubuntu Linux as the primary operating system for our developers and many people we work with.
What is most valuable?
Ubuntu Linux is the most secure option on the market. For business-focused people, a Mac is preferred, but for developers, Ubuntu Linux is better. Ubuntu Linux's good desktop experience makes it easy to use even if you are not comfortable using the command line. It has excellent integration with development tools, including CI/CD and Atlassian products. Most of our code development occurs on Ubuntu Linux, and it integrates deeply with development pipelines, making it straightforward to manage. Additionally, Ubuntu Linux's parent company provides canonical pipelining for machine learning, ensuring compatibility and efficiency.
What needs improvement?
In the past, OpenOffice was a pain point on the Ubuntu Linux side, but now, because everything has moved to online platforms like Google Cloud or Microsoft Cloud, it's not a problem anymore.

Ubuntu optimizes systems, resources, and capital!
What do you like best about the product?
The stability, compatibility, and resource optimization compared to other platforms. It can be easily implemented in any system, as well as its integration into a variety of options.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve tends to be steeper for Windows users. It doesn't have much customer support, although there is a large user community.

There are problems that one benefits from since there is a large community of users that make it increasingly stable and compatible.
A Technical and Functional Approach
What do you like best about the product?
Even for beginners, the interface is clean, elegant, and easy to use. Ubuntu is based on Debian, so it is very reliable and receives frequent security updates. Apt makes software installation very easy, and Ubuntu supports Snap, Flatpak, and .deb.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some apps via Snap take a long time to open and consume more resources. And you don't always have the option to use another version. For older machines, the "standard" Ubuntu can be a bit heavy. Versions like Xubuntu or Lubuntu are lighter. Proprietary drivers (e.g., Nvidia) sometimes cause headaches. Although it has improved a lot, support can still fail in specific cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is free and open source, eliminating the need to pay for operating systems or basic software. It has a robust permissions system, making it less vulnerable to viruses and malware common in Windows. Ideal for environments that require security.
Ensures uninterrupted backend processing and secure package management
What is our primary use case?
I use Ubuntu Linux to send text messages and error logs from a server. I employ it for everything, from processing video to a variety of tasks. It is used practically for anything.
What is most valuable?
Ubuntu Linux is extremely stable, rock solid, and reliable. It can run for years without issues, providing peace of mind from a stability perspective. For any backend processing server, I would use it as long as the hardware is reliable because the operating system will just work. Red Hat Linux, a commercial suite, is also very stable and runs consistently. Ubuntu Linux's security and package management tools are excellent.
What needs improvement?
Linux sees improvements each year, with new releases introducing features to enhance functionality. While I do not find any issues myself, others might, which leads to regular enhancements. There is a push towards integrating AI into software for various purposes like video and sound processing. The market continuously offers new developments, with AI being a prominent focus.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Linux for twenty to twenty-five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Ubuntu Linux is extremely stable and maintains uptime effectively. It is ideal for backend processing because of its reliability, provided the hardware is functional.
How are customer service and support?
I contacted Red Hat technical support around six years ago due to a problem I was encountering. They responded well, understood that the issue was not on my end, and provided a patch within two days. It was a positive experience with their support.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
I have done the deployment hundreds of times, and it is easy for me. It typically takes an hour to an hour and a half.
What other advice do I have?
New features in Linux always bring enhancements, and there is a current trend towards AI integration. I have not yet embarked on any AI or machine learning projects with Ubuntu Linux, but I may explore them later. If systems remain operational, I do not face losses; however, if they fail, the potential loss of money is significant. I rate Ubuntu Linux ten all the way. On a scale of 1 to 10, I rate the overall solution a 10.
