Easy way to Setup and Deploy Your Application Server

  • January 12, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Mostly the main thing I like from Ubuntu Server is that it is a really easy Server SO to setup a linux environment to deploy your applications.
And if you are deploying your server on a cloud provider it is even better! I have been deploying Linux Server on Azure and Google Cloud Platform and I haven't had any mayor issues so far.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be honest, Ubuntu is by far the best and easiest linux distro to setup. I don't have mayor complaints about it.
Sometimes it is quite challenging to setup the permission scheme for different users, but I'd say that that's a generalized issue on all linux servers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main use of Ubuntu Server to me is to deploy Web Application Servers. Mostly tomcat servers in which I host my web applications and REST Services. My test and production environments are Ubuntu Server 18.04.5

The best OS for low configration system and for developers

  • January 10, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The most thing of this OS is it takes very little memory like right now, I am using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS even before this I used 18 and It is taking only 1.9 GB for OS memory although window take approx 4-5 GB so If your system configuration low like you have only 4 GB Ram That time you can use this one more thing If you want your system work like mac that time It is the best choice and compares to other Linux system It's UI is best like you have ubuntu software you don't need to download each and everything from the terminal and one more thing when your os will hang like windows you don't need to restart you can kill the process from the terminal and most important part is it is free open source so for downloading of deploying any software you don't need to pay to anyone
What do you dislike about the product?
The most disliked part in all previous versions is it wifi driver like many times it's disconnected from the hotspot, so you need to restart your system but that time I try to download again wifi repo to resolve this issue but that time which repos mentioned in ubuntu official docs did not exist so I go with another one, but none of then is working so, please provide proper support for that
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously In 2019, there was a lockdown imposed in work that time all persons doing work from home that time I had windows PC with 8 GB ram but that was very slow, so that time I installed ubuntu, and it was working very fast, and for downloading purposes here we have ubuntu software and you know i am working on ubuntu since a very long time to during deployment time I use ubuntu instead for Linux because In ubuntu server it is really easy for me to find errors
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you were tried with hang is the system does not support issue also if you are using another Linux version, then please try ubuntu ones you will definitely liked this one

The best Linux OS distro out there for beginners and seasoned users

  • January 07, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Since Linux is thought to be a difficult OS by many, the best thing I think about Ubuntu is that it has a very nice and customizable GUI that can be easily used by beginners and pros too. Ubuntu is the best Linux open-source OS out there available for everyone. I mean when do you see an OS that is so much supported and liked and used is free. If you are ever stuck on anything in this OS you can do a single Google search and most probably you will find a solution in the top 3 results :). It is a heavily customizable OS. Its terminal is also easy to use. Used in cloud and server deployment. People generally run ubuntu in their OracleBox Hypervisors. Basically, Ubuntu Linux is everywhere. You can play games on Ubuntu too. It has Steam on its software store. Ubuntu also has periodic major and minor updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing I dislike about Ubuntu is that its terminal can be very overwhelming and difficult to work with as you need a lot of learning to even start using it. The terminal is a very old-styled prompt any much help to the user. The user itself has to learn all the commands and do trial and error on the terminal to get used to them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Ubuntu Linux as an OS to run my projects on because generally, Linux is the OS you will most probably find on server computers. I use Ubuntu to do project development as it supports most of the major IDEs. Ubuntu is also easier to install, so you don't have to think twice if you want a Linux OS installed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
To use Ubuntu as a GUI OS you can directly go ahead and use it, but to use its terminal you need to have quite a bit of knowledge of Linux commands. There are many YouTube tutorials on Linux and its basics using Ubuntu as an OS.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I need to fiddle with settings to get my hardware to work correctly—for example, touchpad on my laptop.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to quickly (and for free) install a secure and modern OS.

Great Desktop OS for New User

  • January 06, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's a great place to start for new Linux users, Package management can update anything, Supports new hardware & Old hardware. Looks great In a dark mood, I use it as a server for monitoring my office network using nagios
What do you dislike about the product?
Installation is Still challenging for new users. The top bar in the Graphical interface is unnecessary. it's occupied screen space.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The graphical interface is still not up to the mark. That is why I choose another desktop version in Unbuntu. I need to modify the desktop. new users cannot do this
Recommendations to others considering the product:
you can use ubuntu-desktop version as server, web server, web development
