I am using Ubuntu for past one and a half year. I use windows too, but found ubuntu more straightforward and generally less of a pain.
What do you dislike about the product?
The just thing I dislike about Ubuntu is its messaging menu and notification system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The best thing I realized while using ubuntu is its command line interfacing and network interface. While using windows, I was stuck with a same issue which was rather solved with ubuntu.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is the best operating system I had used till date. Not only it resolves network issues, but is also a open source platform and provides security as well.

Ubuntu - Best Operating system for website hosting

  • November 22, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We can easily use Ubuntu for a hosting server, we can easy to install Apache, PHP, and MySQL to run a website in Ubuntu. They launch the new version 18.04, they are improving day by day. On the servers, we always use ubuntu. There are three reasons to use Ubuntu: 1. We are very familiar with Ubuntu. 2. it is very easy to set up all the packages like web server etc on the ubuntu. 3. It is free, we don't need to pay for Ubuntu like windows. That's why we always prefer Ubuntu for development and hosting.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu is very good for web hosting but if you stuck somewhere like MySQL stopped working. so, there is a very different way to resolve this. Most of the times, you need to remove all the package and add it again. Maintenance is tough.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being open source and free makes it a lot more interesting. We can use it in a big company and it will save a lot of cost by not having to buy another operating system for all other employees. Thus saving a lot of money at the end of the year.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to use, very fast operating system

My experience with Ubuntu

  • November 22, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have always been interested in open source projects and Ubuntu tops the list. It is my preferred OS since its relatively lightweight and has a good UI.
What do you dislike about the product?
Linux is a good language for programming but seems restrictive in many things especially gaming. It needs more support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu provides a great UI and can be used across various IOT devices. It is more convenient to install it on a rasberry PI and use it for connecting with other devices.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu is great for programming but if doesn't provide support for some softwares. It is a great idea to dual boot with another OS.

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a computer operating system based on the Debian GNU / Linux distribution. It is distributed as a free and open source software, along with commercial software. It is named after the South African Ubuntu Philosophy. I guess you imagined this being the first point on our list. But the fact that Ubuntu is free goes beyond many customers’ need to not pay for stuff .I think Ubuntu software is a problem-less operating software.It is open source software.Basic knowledge is required to use but very easy to use.The convenience of being accessible to all users is a special advantage.It is an advantage to have no cost for software that does not have slow and no virus threats.
What do you dislike about the product?
When installing some software, you will need to follow the same procedures.In general, some software may have difficulties and only open-source software such as Ubuntu should be used.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ideal to use with internet connections. Can be used to work with internal networks. Viral effects are low.Computers that use other operating systems tend to be slower, and Ubuntu does not show such slowdowns.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Although Ubuntu looks like a hard operating system, you will find it to be very easy to use. Try using.

What do you like best about the product?
The installation was very quick which got me working! It is super fast with WiFi connections which makes my work easy. It keeps on providing pop ups of applications that i find useful with what I do. The downloading process is also faster
What do you dislike about the product?
Sadly, on the first day i used it, midway my work it crashed. The mouse pointer is slow to move which is nagging. Then please, reduce on the number of adverts, they are disruptive. Some buttons and menus are hard to get until which limits me sometimes. However after using it for along time, i mastered this. It is slow when i am doing various tasks on my computer. The graphics are poor mostly while playing video games
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I easily get free apps to use, but also provides real time results without over scrolling through looking for the right information needed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu is easy to use, so fast in strong networks, I have not had any data leak instances but also provides free apps which are user friendly. I have most times updated Ubuntu without my computer turning off. Try it today...
