Oustanding, Well maintained, Well supported

  • September 24, 2022

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is one of the easiest linux distro's one could find when it comes to updates. Regular updates make it an even better choice infact for both personal and business users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of support/documentation related to installation on some old machines (prior to 2010) makes it difficult to install ubuntu. Otherwise, it is still one of the best distros when it comes to installation on latest hardware released after 2010, especially when it comes to virtualization ubuntu is the best and highly recommended.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For someone related to IT, Web or Software Programming, ubuntu is the first thing in Linux that comes to mind, as it offers a variety of options and ease of accessibility. Ubuntu Desktop is any pro-Linux users first choice.

Experience in using Ubuntu Server

  • September 21, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Almost everything that came with 18.04 and then 20.04 were fantastic. The migration of our virtual production servers from 16.04 to 18.04 and now recently 20.04 was very smooth.
What do you dislike about the product?
1) Sometimes, it has been observed by my team and me that the network configuration files structure is not streamlined; that is, the netplan and other YAML files may be checked.
2) GUI was an issue (in the past) that is no longer a concern after we can seamlessly use KDE and other environments. It is understood that a server should have a minimalistic GUI.
3) If someone can work with NVIDIA and get the patches for 22.04 worked upon with DPU Bluefield-2 Cards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1) It helps us manage large High-Performance Computing based clusters with Parallel File Systems.
2) We are trying to understand RISC-V-based architecture, and we have identified Ubuntu Server as the suitable one.

What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Ubuntu Desktop for more than 4 years now, I really like how Good and rich it feels every time, it comes with the Gnome desktop environment which is eye candy. Bringing you the LINUX with a good configuration for beginners.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not ultra-light , if we upgrade to higher versions, the OS generally gets a little bit heavy so you need better config system. Maybe just a tradeoff with good features and looks, but it never dissapoints. It so good, you can't hate it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu Desktop is my favorite Operating System in my personal Dell Vostro device, It brings me the power of Linux in my everyday life, making my work life fast and simple.

I am currently using 22.04.01 LTS, which is frighteningly fast compared to any other OS I have encountered. And it is the best OS for me because I am new to Linux and i would say that the UI/UX is the most eye-appealing thing one can imagine.

Nothing, I don't dislike a thing about ubuntu.

It's easy to use because it is the most user-friendly Linux-based OS, and I also love the freedom that it provides when it comes to customising my system it also provides most of the software that I need as a developer in the ubuntu store.
