If you are new to LInux and want to ease in, then I definitely recommend you start with Ubuntu

What do you like best about the product?
It has a great user-friendly "Windows-like" desktop to help those who are new to Linux. I've been using Ubuntu for many years, just because it's easy to install and configure, and I can run it on any computer from a USB drive without ever installing it.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much I dislike about Linux in general, and Ubuntu makes Linux admin a snap. The package manager is a little clunky at times, not many operating systems can match the power and performance of a Linux machine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security and performance. I had a client who using PostgreSQL as a backend for a web app. The server response times were a bit slow. We built a simple Ubuntu system on a spare desktop, and ported the database over. The response time for the web app improved by 35%
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Download the live cd version, and run it. It's free, and you can experience all Ubuntu has to offer without installing anything on your system. I use a live USB boot on my Windows laptop so I can do some development without overhauling my system.

A great solution for personal and business information systems

  • March 12, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Besides the price tag (free), Ubuntu gives a lot of flexibility for home and business use. It also does not require top-of-the-line hardware to function well. Most of my equipment has Ubuntu loaded on it.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really isn't anything I dislike about Ubuntu Server. However, the Unify UI (default) in Ubuntu desktop is still a sore spot for me. I generally remove it and switch to Mate or Cinnamon shortly after installing the OS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I primarily use Ubuntu Server. Currently I run three: a front-end web server for a local guestbook program that tracks attendance for a lab I manage, a database server to replicate the data stored on server A, and a SMB file server at home with an OwnCloud front-end and OpenVPN.

What do you dislike about the product?
Always meet the network connection issue each time try to install new different LTS versions. The DNS or ethernet default settings not convenience as Mac or Windows.

Use docker to develop different platforms support App, special for the arm.

What do you like best about the product?
easy to install, recognizes almost all the drivers of the devices, graphical presentation almost the same as Windows,
What do you dislike about the product?
to install applications, it must be done with command lines, and many need other plugins that you have to search for on the web, it is not practical and inflexible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In taking advantage of old equipment that is in good condition and without spending on licenses, since it is completely free, it comes with OpenOffice for handling spreadsheets, text, and presentations, and others.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The installation is simple and you can install it on old equipment, to browse the Internet and use word processors, spreadsheets, and presentations completely free of charge.

Using Ubuntu Operating System

  • February 08, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I am not a fan of Ubuntu, so there is nothing that I particularly prefer about Ubuntu that I can't get on a Mac or Windows machine. However, many features make it easier to use a Linux box in a way that is similar to Windows Desktop.
What do you dislike about the product?
You have to use command line for most commands. It is more primitive than other operating systems in my opinion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a biomedical researcher that builds mathematical models of biological processes, and sometimes I need to use a Linux machine for its increased computing power. Benefits of Ubuntu systems are primarily increased simulation speed and not tying up my personal desktop and laptop to run simulations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are using a Linux machine for its computing power but are used to Windows or Mac operating systems, Ubuntu is the way to go. It is a good mediator for new users.
