Ubuntu, the best OS

  • November 25, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the customizability of Ubuntu. And with something like Gnome, you can get a great and awesome UI. And Ubuntu is straightforward to install or even dual boot.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, the package installation gets harder since you have to use the terminal. But it's fine once you get used to it. Some games, that can be played on Ubuntu, might get laggier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I really like the fact that you are not gonna get so less virus attacks compared to the other OSs. And the customizability of the OS is an awesome fact that Ubuntu has.

Daily Life Usage of an Open Source Operating System: Ubuntu

  • November 24, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is very lightweight in terms of CPU and RAM usage. My primary usage was web and Flutter development, so my primary target was to save some RAM due to constrained computer specs. In general usage, one would easily see 1.5 GB to 2 GB RAM memory saved. The second advantage of other distros of Linux is a very large community to solve and fix the problems that one would face.
What do you dislike about the product?
I developed Unity applications as a hobby and when I installed Unity on Linux, there were lots of bugs. Moreover, there are many applications such as Adobe apps, and CAD software that aren't supported by Linux.

There are some other distros such as Zorin which are even lighter than Ubuntu in terms of resources. So one would try to use that also since all are Linux distros. Zorin appears to be more similar to Windows UI which is very helpful for beginners or those who shift from Windows OS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I shifted from Windows to Ubuntu primarily for development and my PC resources were exhausting, so shifting to Ubuntu saved me on average 1.5GB RAM memory on average.
