Ubuntu makes life real easy
What do you like best about the product?
Well with all my experience I could only find positive points for Ubuntu 14.04. local integrated app menus, utility launcher and also it's minimizer, locking it has never been easier, works really great with VMware, improved graphics and the speed. Very use to use and install. It's highly customizable and plus it's free. Many people around use it and know it, it is easy to find tech support and to share documents, applications with others. There are a lot less viruses on Linux Ubuntu. With kernel modules and developments coming every 6 months or so, Linux these days is highly updated in terms of hardware support. it's never been that good before. My gaming experience has changed forever. I use this with VMware to program in C, which is really great, it makes it much more faster than running on other platform. Also, it can really more faster than any other software. It's one of the stable systems because of it's latest release which is gonna long for five years, there will be no hassle for upgrading it every year. We get GNOME Terminal 3.18 and we can install any app we like.
What do you dislike about the product?
They can be better on cloud support, it can't have something like Visual Studio, hardware has to be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using it as part of my curriculum and to develop operating system in C. It's great to use that since it's much faster and lighter than most others.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Really great and easy to use. Easily customized.
Excellent OS for developers
What do you like best about the product?
All current programming frameworks and libraries provide an Ubuntu package or installer, a real time saver when you depend on it and need it to "just work". Mostly everything works as expected, and when it doesn', online support from its users is more than enough to solve almost any problem. All hardware works out of the box on any new laptop, you can even unplug your harddrive and plug it in a different machine, chances are all hardware will be detected and autoconfigured.
What do you dislike about the product?
Probably a better out-of-the box GUI with more configuration options. For example, I´d like to see a dedicated "tiling window" mode.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Very cost effective, stable and trust worthy. Each new version has a very decent end of life deadlines, and updates are fast, incremental and of course free. Migrating from one machine to another
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If unsure, just give it a shot and try the live USB version first.
Ubuntu is a solid free OS which suits most of the people
What do you like best about the product?
This is free, most of the apps that everybody uses daily are available for free too. The user interface and design are beautiful and easy start with. The font rendering is good. What I like is that a very advanced user (like a developper) or a grandma can use this same system. It can be setup very simply, with a few daily used softwares (for my grandma, skype, chrome, openoffice) or with a very complete setup (for me with docker, phpstorm, vagrant, etc...). I am using this system for 5 years and I never experienced any virus or malware issues, a bit the same as on a Mac, but for free. It can be customised as much as you want, I personally use the Unity Tweak Tool to load some Flat Design icons and to be able to customise my fonts colors, the sizes and this works very well. Coming from Windows, I can say that this OS is way more suited to developpers, the console is the default way of installing, updating and removing softwares. The file system is more staright forward. I noticed that there are are only a few issues of portability between Mac and Ubuntu.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some very specific softwares are not available on Ubuntu, things like audio softwares.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu provides a perfect solution for web developpers. Provides a professional environment to work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you don't use specific softwares (unavailable on Ubuntu) then don't hesitate, the system is powerful, stable and easy to use.
The Most Accessible Linux Distro For All
What do you like best about the product?
If you are curious about Linux and not sure where to start, nothing is more accessible for beginners than Ubuntu. Marrying the UI beauty of "easier to use" OS like Mac and Windows with the Linux Kernel is exactly what you'll get here. Many users will feel right at home as soon as they reach the desktop and start working. Icons are big and beautiful, searching for files is easy to do and managing your experience is a breeze. The best part though is when you're ready to dig in deeper you can bring up the terminal and have at it. Constantly being updated and maintained and the user support on forums and such is incredible. You won't be let down!
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing is inherently wrong with Ubuntu. Again, you receive a beautiful Linux Distro with a myriad of functionality. The only thing that could possibly turn some people off is the lack of enterprise support. With that said, you probably won't run your backbone on Ubuntu and most likely use something like CentOS, Fedora and of course RedHat.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Normal productivity, web access, email, software development and databases.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Again, if you want to explore Linux and see what it's all about, this is the place to start. It's easy to install and there are tons of tutorials on Youtube you can follow on top of other lessons as well. Give it a go! You won't be disappointed.
Use this OS for specific tasks related to security and special programs.
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is easier as ever to now install and configure. The continued improvements that are being made to make this a more useful platform. More adoption within organizations. Less vulnerability to malware and other threats the plague other platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
More emphasis on how this platform can be managed in the cloud. More applications that have cross-platform capabilities. Some items require a bit of a learning curve to complete.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This platform has a niche function for organizations looking at a locked down operating system. Some applications are better suited for a Linux based platform due to the security and less administrative overhead costs involved.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a shot.
