  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is easy to use and it is quick to start apps. Easy to install safe apps and not prone to viruses. It was also easy to connect an Android phone and get photos from the disk.

I don't like the fact that there is usage tracking for the "Search Apps" feature right in the OS, this is not normal for an open source OS.
But apart from that, there are not many things that I dislike.

More stable than Windows, don't need frequent updates, does not need as much RAM memory and quick. Native multi-desktop.

Ubuntu: features and benefits.

  • August 02, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu has libre office and is really easy to use. Ubuntu has faster install and faster boot and hence less time is required to set it up. Also the theme variants can be customised according to our needs. It also provides us with faster and minimal install options.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I dislike the most about Ubuntu is that it does not follow standards. Ubuntu breaks all the standards of linux. The error messages of ubuntu are also hard to solve and the graphic drivers are really hard to install.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am highly interested in computer networks and previously I use to practice in windows but as soon as I switched to ubuntu I was impressed. I was able to use a lot more features and commands than windows. Also I did some experiments through wireshark and also worked on the backdoor problem.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have been using it for years and the level of security it provides is commendable. It provides features which are easy for use and are really helpful in testing the networking of computers

It is a great distribution based on Debian with anything that and new end user need to learn Linux

  • August 01, 2020

What do you like best about the product?
It has a user friendly interface, with graphical items for new users and the linux console for experienced users. Also it is good to mention that the community is the bigger one and they are always willing to help you.
What do you dislike about the product?
The developers has improved the graphical interface with at the cost of a high price (consuming more resources) so, also It has become slower. Sometimes looks like Ubuntu won't be free anymore in the future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use a lot the linux console because I work with communications protocols as SNMP, so I can create some scripts and scheduling them with cron.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are faster linux distributions based on debian, but the best knowledge is on ubuntu community. They have answers for everything and if you don't know something or need help they collaborate with you.

My Ubuntu Experiences

  • July 16, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is really useful, especially since I am someone interested in software. Because it allows you to manage the resources and libraries you will use in the software you will make. At the same time, you work both from the console and includes side applications such as browsers. It is also useful for regular users of Ubuntu. Because usually viruses are not available in this operating system. For this reason, you do not need to use a virus program. Turning your computer on and off is also faster than other operating systems. Because the originally loaded runners and the memory used are very efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
The bad feature is that you need to know all the steps related to software or program installations and the helpful items that will go down. If it is missing, your transaction may be incomplete.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu allows me to make software more dominantly. It also allows me to make more efficient software because I can manage resources. An operating system that I usually use to produce software.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are a user without much knowledge or knowledge of the software, you should be careful when using the command screen when using Ubuntu. Because there is no mechanism that prevents you from accessing the physical side of the computer, it may encounter big errors. You may cause the operating system of the computer to crash.
