    Computer & Network Security

One of the most stable Linux systems I ever used

  • July 25, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I am a big fan of Ubuntu, Why?
1. When I was entering into the linux systems from Windows system, I found Ubuntu most user friendly Linux, It is really easy to navigate through.
2. It has really vast support of software repository.
3. People opensourced lot of customizations for Ubuntu Desktop, You can completely transform into a system according to your needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
1. It has lot vast software repository, but it still misses lot of main stream applications like Gaming apps, But I think Ubuntu is purposed for different segment of users and it fulfills the purpose completely. But I want to see Ubuntu more richer and richer in terms of app support :)
2. It's definitely one of the most easiest Linux system to start, But it still has some learning curve, and yes you need to be aware of File system, I saw people hiting random commands and loosing data, So It has it's own learning curve to be pro.
3. I faced some issues related to hardware compatibility also, Like my laptop battery used to drain faster on Ubuntu.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. I think for most of the software developers, Ubuntu is first choice, because of it's simplicity yet being powerful with shell programming.
2.Ubuntu is famous for frictionless deployment, It is powering most of the cloud applications or services.
3. Whenever I am using Docker, I use Ubuntu first, because it has very rich and stable support for applications/utilities I need for most of the applications being deployed.

The last enterprise worthy linux standing

  • July 18, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's the last opensoruce long term reliable enterprise worthy linux. The copetition has all moved to closed ecosystem tryign to force licencing models.
The installer is text mode by default.
What do you dislike about the product?
apt is clunky compared to things like yum
snap is filled with unmaintined bits of software than can be dangerously out of date.
Still to much a desktop OS thats problmatic on servers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it in the sever space primarilty at our scale out storage tier. It's fairly easy to strip down for use in a server role and have good ceph support. We moved over as we needed a long term support as we see 5+ years as part of our storage archtecture in it's primary role and do not expect to look at major updates during that time.

What do you like best about the product?
Really, I like the easily, completely and useful that is. By default include many utilities for a conventional user.
What do you dislike about the product?
The appearance could be better, I think Ubuntu Desktop can improve without losing its essence. "Linux for Human Beings".
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu Desktop gives me the freedom to use good quality Open Source software without falling into piracy. I have been able to use WEB Server tools, as well as Graphic Design tools, and in the family environment, have a very versatile entertainment center.

Most Optimised and Developer Friendly Operating System.

  • July 11, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have used Ubuntu throughout my career in Information Technology to develop and design software and application. Trust me; it is the most reliable and developer-friendly Operating system with lots of features that are associated with developers ecosystems. Ubuntu is a Linux-based distro based on Debian and is primarily designed to provide users with a lightweight and practical user-rich experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no major dislike about using Ubuntu, but certain features must be documented well so that people with less knowledge of using Linux distro can go through it and use it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it daily to maintain and develop software programs and applications efficiently and reliably and for my daily tasks and workload.
