Amazing Alternative Operating System

  • April 22, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It works very well in a non-GUI environment for server applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be challenging to use and takes a lot of patience, troubleshooting, and deductions to figure out solutions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
That it is more secure and has the benefits of remote SSH access. You can pretty much do anything in a command terminal when using a headless workstation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are up for a challenge and are looking for an alternative to Microsoft, it's a great choice.

Ubuntu or Windows 11 ?

  • April 22, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is based on linux. A lightweight, flexible and compact OS. You need not download and run it on your device, you can use it using a live bootable pen drive and you can use it as plug and play device.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have a lot of pros over cons in ubuntu. Yet there are few things which could've been better. Ubuntu doesn't support windows apps. Even though Linux is used for a different purpose, Creating support to run windows application inbuilt would have been more convenient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu doesn't have a lot of bloatware making it lightweight, Which makes your system fast and lighter for your work the greatest advantage is Ubuntu doesn't get attacked by viruses. Ya, you heard it right virus doesn't attack ubuntu
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have a good grip on terminal, Go with it.

It's very easy to install development-related stuff I just have to do sudo apt install, its lightweight open-source operating system runs smoothly on low-end computers as well, and there is high availability of dev software on the ubuntu app store itself.

I have installed this os on many computers on some computers I have experienced some bugs like headphones not working properly, the keyboard not working on the lock screen, and hanging forever on the lock screen after waking up the laptop from sleep. Some softwares are not yet available such as ms office, and no availability for games.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used this os for software development as development is easy on ubuntu as compared to windows due to its terminal which makes it easy to install and use any command-line tools.

Best OS for Programming

  • April 21, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is very easy to start with. For all developer the terminal is a must. Ubuntu also have a great community and its mostly used debian Distro. I love ubuntu. The community is very helpful.

Few software like Microsoft Office and professional Photo editing tools like photoshop are not available. I used Sketch for most of my prototyping, unfortunately this is also not available for ubuntu.

We are software developers. We mostly write codes on our machines. Most of our development is deploying server architecture and our servers are also Linux distros, so ubuntu helps us to test our code locally.

Using Ubuntu for desktop

  • April 21, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that the Ubuntu is really easy to install and get set, it's also very light and can run smoothly in older computers. It's very accessible in comparison to it competitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the fact of the Linux distros are not very user friendly. You have to solve every problem that you have without any help of the OS. Also the UI of Ubuntu seems a little bit old.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I could revive an old computer using Ubuntu as a lightweight operational system for it. I got a decent performance in a really old machine that I wouldn't get using other OS.

Ubuntu os review

  • April 21, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu desktop first most plus point is it open source and that makes it available to a large number of audience for free and easily. Plus the UI is clean and is super fast
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not as much number of apps that a person ideally uses in windows in ubuntu right now which over time I think developers may create and this wouldn't be a problem
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I had a old laptop which had windows installed but was very slow so ubuntu gave it life and now it runs smoothly a 6 year old laptop and I use it to my daily college life with heavy coding and browsing
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best os I've used yet, smooth and fast
