Ubuntu, a good way to take advantage of hardware

  • December 17, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is one of my operating systems based on GNU / Linux favorites, its design has improved greatly with each version, without having to envy anything to private operating systems, counting as always with one of its greatest virtues that is the use of hardware, making the maximum use of computer resources, this is perfect for those who require the use of large memory and processor consumption, added to this the community has been responsible for adding large applications that meet the needs of users in different professional fields, giving the possibility to those who do not have a lot of money, to be able to use very complete work tools, capable of doing a splendid job, that's why their best virtues are the use of resources and being free.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although it has improved a lot, there are still deficiencies in the amount of software available, with nothing to complain to the community since they do a great job, there is still a need for more tools or software in various fields of work, or similar in quality to those of Windows or Mac, added to this, the compatibility with the different devices in the market must be immediately improved, sometimes it is an arduous task to find functional drivers for devices of daily use, it could be good to find the way that compatibility with applications that are for Windows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The need to have an operating system that takes full advantage of computer hardware was solved, since the applications were of high consumption and it was necessary to make the most use of its benefits, without the need to invest in new computers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need to take full advantage of the technical capabilities of your computer and be free, Ubuntu is your operating system, in addition to this has good applications and great work by the community.

The perfect operating system

  • December 01, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu gives you so much freedom to do your job. You can use Ubuntu for virtually anything. It handles everything smoothly. I've never encountered any inconvinience with it. It gives a wide array of compatible softwares which are essential for software development.
It gives constant updates and upgrades which is really helpful.
The LTS support is also another great thing as it is very reassuring for the user.
nVidea GPU support only adds to the greatness of this operating system.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are minor glitches with nautilus. It occasinally slows down and throws an error. The ubuntu software centre is not upto the mark. Many other softwares need to be added into it.
It gives a very poor gaming experience.
Games on Steam too don't fare very well, there are constant frame drops and stutters. Ubuntu really needs to improve upon these fronts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu has a lot of benefits when it comes to software development. i personally use it for software development.
A lot of API's are compatible only on Ubuntu (and other linux distros).
Many python wheels work flawlessly on Ubuntu which don't on "Windows"
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it without second thoughts.
People often say that Ubuntu is not suitable for day to day use as it is very "ENGINEERED", but I disagree with all thosse people.
Ubuntu is very much capable of handling everything "Windows" can do. Though it might appear daunting at first, Ubuntu handles all your needs perfectly. It has support for nVidea GPu as well and even steam games run flawlessly on it, so it is the way to g. It is free of cost and much better than all the other pricey operating systems out there in the market.

Most productive operating system for developers

  • November 27, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Over the years, bash has biggest contribution to make me a productive developer. Ubuntu provides a terminal which is the most developer friendly application which is the default way to use the power of bash. The other thing I like about the
What do you dislike about the product?
1. Folder organization
There can be a better way to have a look at your folders differently, visualize how your things are organized. Having an easy to use way to separate things in workspaces, projects and search.

2. Software Center
The UX of software center is not much useful, the information schema can be improved a lot. One thing I would like to see is a better way to have insights about the reputation of the software developer through software center before installing the software on system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is the default way to do anything on computer for us. The benefits for business is that it avoids any worries about complex licensing structure as seen in case of Windows, plus it's free.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're a developer, go for it. If you're not, macOS or windows might be better option for you.

First Attempt at Linux

  • November 22, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to install and the size of the OS is absolutely amazing in comparison to Windows
What do you dislike about the product?
I would have to say that the only dislike would be the updates for certain things require a bit of Command Line understanding and I think that is the issue with this OS from becoming more widely installed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are branching out to include our software modules to be able to utilize Linux and other OS systems
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Slick - Easy to install and open source allows for a lot of development from all sorts of users

Linux with ubuntu.

  • November 22, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I like about ubuntu is how it takes advantage of all the elements of a computer RAM processor optimizing each component to the maximum and consume fewer resources with this operating system, increasing the speed of processing.
What do you dislike about the product?
when installing version 17.10 of ubuntu when adding some repositories it causes problems with the updates and getting some audio or wifi driver is something difficult.
another thing is the changes of versions in short time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ubuntu helps me to create more secure servers taking advantage of the security configurations of this distribution, in addition to using equipment that is not of high resources.
Recommendations to others considering the product:

My recommendations for users is to read the changes made in each update of ubuntu when it comes to compatibility with some programs.

Nice Linux distro for a server

  • November 21, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I use Ubuntu because I have a lot of experience with it. I find that it does things the way I do things and that is a friendly way for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found that some Linux web items don not like to mention how to perform things on an Ubuntu server. My Ubuntu does not support the Windowing system. It is a server and there is no need for the graphics in a server environment. The problem is, I cannot always use directions on how to use a system in the graphics mode.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I need to host a web server on Amazon and have found Ubuntu as a good inexpensive way of doing this. I have also been able to automate a lot of tasks using Ubuntu.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a Linux operating system Ubuntu is a good choice and there are many users who can help you out. I had the system up in a matter of hours but it took others a long to to get the Drupal application developed.
