Ubuntu: everything you could ever need

  • December 16, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is really easy to use, installing software is also very simple. The community is really active, so there's always someone who had Ubuntu-related issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some apps are not available, and alternatives are not as good. That's a problem with linux in general, but ubuntu alleviates it a bit by having support for many applications. The OS is also hard to customize.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most open-source software and development is on Ubuntu. Any developer needs Linux, and Ubuntu is by far the easiest way to have Linux. Ubuntu comes with all the toolchains necessary to write good software.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Know how to manage a disk if using another OS. Otherwise it's well documented

Best in Market for Developers

  • December 16, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best part about using ubuntu is that you have a user-friendly interface and active websites solving issues or queries of users.
The system is robust compared to all the other operating systems out in the market. I would recommend developers to you it.
What do you dislike about the product?
A new user might get puzzled if he mistakenly changes permissions of files and folders, which might give them nightmares to fix.
You will find solutions on the internet that would be helpful to overcome such common mistakes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have worked on ubuntu since I started my development career; it's easy to use.
You need to run commands to install pretty much everything.
It saves development costs as it's open-source.

My go-to OS

  • December 16, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Relative to Windows: I get control -- what my OS is doing on my computer, where my files go, how it boots. Everything is actually visible.
Relative to other Linux distros: Well, if you google "How do I do ___ on Linux?" you will probably find answers saying "This is how you do it on Ubuntu".
What do you dislike about the product?
Vanilla Ubuntu is produced by Canonical, which does mean it ships with some of Canonical's "bloat". This is still an order of magnitude less bloat than, say, OS X or Windows, but it's there. If this bothers you, it's relatively easy to scrub; or you could consider another Debian distro, like Mint.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For me personally, it's my everyday work machine. It's hard to compete with it if you're interested in ML, certainly. Other places I've worked also had a lot of toolchains setup on Linux that we specific to Ubuntu.

Ubuntu: An Excellent Operating System for Business and Personal Uses

  • December 15, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Before my current job, I had been a Windows user my entire life, and I love that Ubuntu has far less bloatware than Windows and the operating system feels far less intrusive and lightweight. I also enjoy using the terminal on Ubuntu and it plays a much more significant role on Ubuntu than on Windows or Mac.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only real complaint with Ubuntu is that some software isn't compatible with the operating system, forcing you to run it on a virtual machine or special software like Wine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Many people at my company exclusively use Linux to do many essential tasks to help create a robust self-driving vehicle platform, including myself. Ubuntu's lightweight framework makes it easy for our computers to perform computationally expensive tasks all day.

The most user friendly Linux OS out there

  • December 14, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
1. The user interface is one of the best . Its fast, clean and is not as resource hungry as windows.

2. It being a linus os is very secure. The way ubuntu handles permissions is very clear .

3. I love developer tools available in ubuntu. Although all of them are available in windows but ubuntu being a linux os still edges as a coding machine since all servers run Linux
What do you dislike about the product?
1. Lack of games which is also improving with proton layer

2. App selection . Lack of Photoshop still hurts linux

3. Learning curve is definitely there if a normal windows user wants to shift to linux
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A free operating system for my machines that provide a stable platform for web programming. I save licence fee of windows, anti virus and other stuff on Linux
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make app store better . Invest in bringing developers to platform

The most easy to use Linux distribution ever

  • December 10, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is easy to install, set up, and easy to use by any level of experienced users. Ubuntu has a wide range of support software and device drivers that makes Ubuntu the first choice of free and open-source OS globally, which proprietary vendors do not back. Ubuntu makes technology available for everyone without discrimination. To use Ubuntu, you do not need to pay a single penny. That is the beauty of Ubuntu.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu inherits some features of Linux that make it hard to work sometimes, significantly drive mounting, file system management. Sometimes Ubuntu takes some time to release hardware drivers for new hardware devices. Some users find it challenging to adapt to Ubuntu because there are few video tutorials to do some specific tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All our workstations use Ubuntu as our primary operating system. Because of this, we could save thousands of dollars every year. Also, we could save a lot of time that we need to do OS training
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I am highly recommending Ubuntu to anyone who is looking for a free and open-source hassle-free OS to reduce the operational cost of their organizations. Using Ubuntu, you can significantly reduce user training and find a lot of free and open-source productivity software that can seamlessly work with Ubuntu.
