Containerized workloads have run smoothly and support secure, high‑performance development

Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
The major use cases that I have involve using Ubuntu as an OS on servers, where I deployed major services and projects over containers like Kubernetes or Docker, and my team uses Ubuntu on their laptops for better performance and prevention of any attacks.
What is most valuable?
The most beneficial features of Ubuntu include the ability to run smoothly on low-end devices, making it the main system of our environment for servers, and allowing for easy configuration with Kubernetes or Docker for product deployment, along with a vast environment of services available on Ubuntu and Linux-based systems.
Ubuntu helps in our operations by being lightweight and server-optimized compared to other operating systems like Windows and macOS, which makes our processes very seamless for deployment, log generation, and containerization, allowing us to debug issues easily through Docker logs.
What needs improvement?
Despite mentioning many advantages, an area for improvement in Ubuntu is its application support, as it lacks many GUI-friendly applications that are available on Windows or macOS, which limits usability for tasks requiring specific software.
The ecosystem of Ubuntu is a major concern due to the limited availability of user-friendly applications compared to other operating systems.
For how long have I used the solution?
I started working with Ubuntu 20 (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) (ARM) | Support by SupportedImages when I was using it in mid-2025, and I have over seven to eight months of experience on it, and I switched to Ubuntu 24, the LTS version, in February 2026.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Ubuntu is quite stable; however, I have noticed some driver failures in the 24 LTS version recently, while the 20th version remains very stable since it is a previous LTS variant.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I believe Ubuntu is very scalable, though there can be limitations due to the lack of certain tools for applications, necessitating the use of Chrome for some software, which could enhance UI/UX purposes on the OS.
How are customer service and support?
I have utilized community support for Ubuntu, but extensive documentation is available online, eliminating the need to contact support as everything we need is present.
How was the initial setup?
The installation of Ubuntu is quite straightforward with only seven to eight steps needed in the BIOS for any device that supports it, making it easy for users.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Regarding pricing, it is quite normal; for local machines like my laptop, the licensing cost is normal, but on servers, it can be higher, and although other competitors like Windows exist, they often lack compatibility with servers, making Linux a better option.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
When comparing Ubuntu 20 (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) (ARM) | Support by SupportedImages to similar products on the market, other operating systems like OzeanOS, Microsoft Windows, and macOS tend to be more expensive, while Ubuntu offers many features, is cheaper in comparison, and provides great compatibility and usability for deployments.
What other advice do I have?
Automatic updates in Ubuntu are quite helpful for maintaining system security; I regularly update the security patches on personal machines to prevent attacks, while on the server side, I use the LTS versions without regular updates to maintain stability.
The long-term support of Ubuntu 20 (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) (ARM) | Support by SupportedImages is very important for mission-critical operations, such as banking and financial services, which require stable systems that can handle loads with proper security updates and support for other services.
Regarding value for money, organizations that provide services typically use Ubuntu as their primary OS, which is secure, compatible, and developer-friendly, allowing our DevOps team to utilize it effectively for daily deployments and configurations.
I use Docker as a primary container service on Ubuntu, alongside Kubernetes, where I deploy major services on Docker itself, utilizing Docker Hub over the Ubuntu machine to deploy our services.
Ubuntu is fully compatible with many development languages and frameworks, as most systems and programming languages are designed to work well with Linux-based services, especially since Ubuntu uses the Linux kernel under the hood.
The customizable nature of Ubuntu definitely helps to tailor application-specific needs, as I can add any kind of service, modify system configurations, and utilize a wide range of applications in the Ubuntu open-source LTS versions to meet our networking needs.
My overall rating for this product is nine out of ten.

What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is its stability, reliability, and ease of use. It provides a solid environment for development, server management, and everyday technical work. The large software ecosystem, strong community support, and extensive documentation make it easy to install tools, troubleshoot issues, and maintain systems over time. Ubuntu 20.04 LTS works well with a wide range of tools in my stack, especially development environments, programming languages, databases, Git, containers, and cloud platforms. Most integrations are straightforward because of the large package ecosystem and strong community support. It also works well with command-line and automation tools, which makes it easy to build consistent development and deployment workflows. Occasionally, newer tools require updated dependencies or additional configuration, but overall compatibility is strong.
What do you dislike about the product?
One drawback is that some software packages and dependencies can feel outdated compared with newer Ubuntu releases. Upgrading or configuring certain applications may require additional troubleshooting, and hardware compatibility can occasionally be an issue with newer devices. The interface is generally easy to use, but some settings and system configurations could be more intuitive for new users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS provides a stable and reliable environment for development, server management, and everyday technical workloads. Its broad compatibility with development tools, libraries, cloud platforms, and hardware makes it easier to set up and maintain different environments. The long-term support reduces the need for frequent upgrades, while the large community and documentation make troubleshooting and onboarding easier. Since Ubuntu is open source and free to use, it also provides strong value by reducing licensing costs while maintaining good performance and reliability.

Solid for Headless Backend, but Ubuntu 20 Feels Outdated on Security and Optimization
Reviewed on May 09, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I have used Ubuntu 20 for a long time on my enterprise software platforms. I works perfectly and it is well fitted for backend services. We mainly use it on headless servers, no UI needed. It works great, and it's free. We migrated to newer Ubuntu versions but still Ubuntu 20 is a power horse.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has been superseded by newer versions of Ubuntu so I'd say it is a bit outdated in terms of security or memory optimization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used for backend services served via Apache2 HTTP services. It solves the problem of having a reliable infrastructure at a very low cost.

Ubuntu: Best open-source OS for developers
Reviewed on Jul 05, 2023
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is one of the most widely used operating systems for project development by developers worldwide. It is free, open-source, and has a great community of developers contributing to its success. The installation of Ubuntu is easy and it needs very little resource around 20GB to run smoothly on any system. I can install Ubuntu along with other operating systems and can select during startup to boot to any operating system.
There is nothing that can not be done in Ubuntu. I can do competitive programming, project development, and numerous other tasks which can not be done so easily on any other OS.
Previously I was using Ubuntu 18 LTS version, but when Ubuntu 20 LTS was released I initially doubt if I should install it or not. But after listening to positive reviews from developers across the globe I decided to make a switch and this was my best decision so far. Thanks to the community for providing free OS with such great capabilities.

What do you dislike about the product?
I am using Ubuntu since my university days and I didn't find any major cons of using it. There are complaints from users regarding its battery consumption which I also think is somewhat true. I recommend everyone to try it once using the try-ubuntu feature which doesn't require installation. But do remember that data loss may happen if you're using the try-ubuntu feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Ubuntu 20 for project development features in multiple programming languages and support from a variety of applications/services. The Linux kernel supports AMD and Intel graphics card hence I can run Ubuntu on old and new systems as well. There are times when I need to use unlimited storage for running an application, and by changing some environment settings in Ubuntu I'm able to do it. I can install project dependencies and applications super fast in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. The Ubuntu Pro provides me with comprehensive open-source security and AWS compliance. It is suitable for our small-scale organization and we can pay bills on existing AWS invoices.
Overall I find it has helped the developer to increase their efficiency and my colleagues are also finding it very easy to use. I recommend this to every developer, try it I bet you won't regret it.
