For the one who needs speed with stabilty!

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Ubuntu is its file system, super easy and manageable. Under the root directory, you get containers of all storage including 'home' and 'desktop'. Also, the speed of extracting compressed folders is unmatched. On Windows, it will take you an hour just to determine the size of the react.js project folder. But with Ubuntu it is just a matter of a few seconds. So, for web and mobile developers, this OS is a boon.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, there is nothing to dislike in this OS, just that if you are new to this OS, it will take some time for you to get acquainted, else it is just perfect. Unlike other OS, here you get Snap store which resembles more like Play and App Stores of Mobile OS. It is very tedious to learn how to install deb executables on Ubuntu using terminal commands.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Me being a web developer wanted to develop a website on the React.js framework. Usually, the environment setup is not ideal with my older windows OS, so I switched to Ubunto. First I tried HyperV virtualization, but after seeing the speed of Ubunto, I have completely moved my PC to Ubuntu. It is open-source software so I need not pay anything. This makes me an independent contributor as well. Now publishing my live updates and editing the bugs are far easier than my old setup.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I will just say "try once", and you will never go back to your old OS. It will solve your 99.99% of problems, and also the few those have never been known to.

Ubuntu review

  • April 27, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is an operating system that is used for building our container and VM workloads and is constantly updated and patched throughout its lifecycle. It is superior to it's competitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
The product can be a little bloated with non-critical packages added to the base operating system distribution which can slow down build times and also add complexity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are deploying business-critical applications including Virtual Machines and containers which run workloads for various areas of our business functions across the organisation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure that you use at least the the latest LTS version of Ubuntu so you have the lastest security patches applied.

What do you like best about the product?
I love that the installation is very easy and the own system will search for the best general drivers for your hardware pieces. I also love that the operative system is totally free.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are sometimes that the operative system installer gets stuck or runs into problems with some very specific-old hardware and this won't allow you to install it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nowadays, the retail companies are selling very slow hard specifications laptops but they are able to work since it comes with Ubuntu from the factory making this a great usage of that operative system.

  • April 22, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

It works very well in a non-GUI environment for server applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be challenging to use and takes a lot of patience, troubleshooting, and deductions to figure out solutions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
That it is more secure and has the benefits of remote SSH access. You can pretty much do anything in a command terminal when using a headless workstation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are up for a challenge and are looking for an alternative to Microsoft, it's a great choice.
