Best Free open source OS for desktop and servers

  • April 24, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu Server is Open source, and anyone can use it. Very Light OS, which can be installed on any machine with a Low CPU and Memory Machine, Has an excellent Community to build it better, and mainly all the languages are supported worldwide. It is far better than Windows OS. Ubuntu Belong to the Linux Family, and most coders choose Ubuntu to write codes and develop the programme. Most Importantly, it will not restart to install new drivers over the Windows OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
Users must be a little techie to understand the OS workings, and we can not use MS Office on Ubuntu OS, which is not required if we are using it for servers. Since its free, ware no dedicated support for the operating system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Ubuntu Server is Freeware and community-based. We do need to pay extra cost to use it. If we face an issue, simply look online. Since the community is too big, we will never get stuck over problems.
2. Very Lighe OS, which runs on minimum CPU and Memory resources
3. we can manage our server with roles-based and permission-based, where we can control how we want to use our files.
4. APT repository ready and available where we need to install new applications or programmes.
5. Mostly Databases servers are running on Ubuntu Server,
6. Top-notch security.

Popularity and Stability

  • April 21, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is the most popular linux distro with a stable and reliable experience with their long-term supported versions. it is a well-known and popular distro, has a massive community built around it. Ubuntu has well tested packages in their repositories and offers high software availability
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu pushes its universal packaging format Snaps, which, compared to Flatpaks, are known to be slow and, in some instances, have some performance drawbacks.
Ubuntu ships software with some inconsistencies in recent releases. Specific Gnome software shipped with the release had an older version, while certain other apps had a more recent version. Their software store, for example, is a fork of Gnome software, and it falls a few versions behind the upstream Gnome Software. These inconsistencies are reportedly being addressed, and I believe future releases will ship with more recent software by default.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used Ubuntu as a daily driver Operating system developing software, and it was my first distro where I started learning about Linux. Since Ubuntu is less resource hungry, I was able to maximize hardware utilization nd improve performance.

What do you like best about the product?
It is a super cool interface and user-friendliness. It is perfect for coders and especially software developers. I can use Ubuntu very effectively to produce the best results.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing at all, but some rare software isn't working. Some of the software (like Adobe) is not working which is the only drawback of Ubuntu. But overall, we can use alternatives.

My personal coding problems are been solved with Ubuntu. The benefits are that this OS is not too much complex to handle. As most of the software are pre-installed, this will ease our works.
