Ubuntu is an Open source free linux operating system which many of the user find it feasible to use and it was mainly introduced for Pc's only but they are also used for servers as well.Its an open source operating system with lots of features that somewhat matches with the paid ones.

Ubuntu is a good OS but its not for critical use I would love to see them developed this in such a way that it can be used in critical situations as well
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best OS for users who are on small scale like they can implement in universities and colleges.

What do you like best about the product?
I am using ubuntu operationg system from last five year this is one of the great operating system for developers and coders one thing that i like most in this operating system it is an computer virus free operating system because this operating does not support .exe file format and most of the computer virus wrote in .exe file format this is the biggest problem in other operating system because of this i already lost my data and i got this operating system in my laptop and its UI is also good and easy to operate even you are first time user of this operating system and kernel is also good support shell scripting and cpp and java it is also having its Ubuntu market for application if you need any extra feature in your system.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is good multi user operating system but sometimes it stuck and stop working this feature i never ever face in other operating system like windows and androids and also not good application market and having some limited user good for the developers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One thing that i like most in this operating system that it virus free last time when i was using windows operating system. In my operating system virus infected my data and i lost too precious data after that i started using Ubuntu operating system and believe me it is good but little bit slow as compare to other OS.

A flexible OS for both web hosting and personal computing

  • July 04, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love to work with the command line interface and Ubuntu has everything which I need, a black terminal and commands. I don't like the Ubuntu interface because it is not easy to understand. If you need anything, just work with the terminal. This is the best platform for the website hosting.
What do you dislike about the product?
You definitely need to have a solid understanding of filesystems and how to locate things - that was the largest barrier to entry for me. Once you develop this knowledge and learn to work a little at the command line, you're good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to run computers and private servers with great flexibility. We can implement extensive network setups with Ubuntu's terminal, which I think is one of the most developer- friendly applications. It is also the default way to use the power of bash, which is convenient for us. With all of my experience, I have had very positive and smooth experiences working with several versions of Ubuntu. We are able to use local integrated app menus, the utility launcher and the very helpful minimizer. Locking it has never been easier and it works really great with VMware. We can generate high quality graphics and above average speed. The installation process was also easy and allowed us to get rolling with limited waiting time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu is the free Operating system. you can download it at your end and install it. If you are a developer, you can use as a web server. When you are familiar with this, just go it live. Use Ubuntu on the live platform.

A beautiful Open Source operating system

  • July 02, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is one of the linux distributions that offers a functioning software centre. In addition to all the beautiful features of linux it still offers this too. Ubuntu also offers a well-organised directory structure and that is easy to navigate even for non-technical people and a powerful command line for power users. The searching on ubuntu is also blazingly fast as it indexes all files starting from root.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve is a beet steep and sometimes if installing applications can be a bit tedious especially when building from source or when you run into dependency issues
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use ubuntu as my primary OS and it solves all my business problems, I use it for my everyday tasks which range from software development to leisure activities such a watching movies.

The Most Used Debian-based Distribution in the World

  • June 28, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The default repositories, which are full of packages of all sorts and kinds, also the fact that is one of the most easy-to-use Linux Distributions available all over the internet. It has lots of Long Time Support (LTS) versions, for the ones who do not like to keep updating your Kernel all the time. Full of features, Ubuntu brings in as a free, resilient distribution that anyone can use, knowing terminal commands or not.
What do you dislike about the product?
Well, the APT (Advanced Package Tool), the default Ubuntu package manager, is not the ideal app manager: it is not fast, its syntax is too long for doing simple updates or installations and it's not good for dealing with external repositories. For Ubuntu is made on principles of ease of use and accessibility, it is not an clean distribution, from factory, Ubuntu brings in lots of tools and gadgets that are not exactly necessary, specially if you are an regular Linux user or developer, Ubuntu could have an minimal version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We replaced Windows system in our crowld's Desktops using Ubuntu. As our employees are
accustomed with Windows interface, we used Ubuntu with Deepin as display manager, they almost didn't noticed a big difference, and for us, we saved 38 Windows licenses, which are not exactly cheap.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need an easy-to-use Linux OS, and like to have lots of gadgets pre-installed on your system, also if you're not a regular Linux user or do not use at all and need it now, you found an almost perfect solution.
