What is our primary use case?
I use Ubuntu Linux for servers and hosting applications.
What is most valuable?
I find the GUI to be good in Ubuntu Linux , and I appreciate the open SSH. The fact that it is free since it is open and open-source is why I appreciate it and feel it is secured. We have multiple different kinds of support related to Ubuntu Linux, including official support and other options.
I am currently using laptops, desktops, and servers, and Ubuntu Linux supports all these devices. If I need it for Raspberry Pi or something similar, I can download another Linux distribution.
Ubuntu Linux is scalable, especially for servers. We prefer using Ubuntu Linux Servers rather than Windows.
The biggest advantage of Ubuntu Linux for me is that it is open-source, secured, and scalable.
What needs improvement?
I was thinking that Ubuntu Linux and Windows would work on the same machine. With Windows 11 , they came together, so it is a good thing. On the GUI, when I use SSH or PuTTY or what is called a console port to connect with the network devices or servers, it is somehow difficult compared with Windows. If it gets easier, then it will be great.
For how long have I used the solution?
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
At this time, I have no issues with the stability of Ubuntu Linux.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
So far, I do not have any issues related to security in Ubuntu Linux. Whenever there is an update or whenever I install an application, I update it. Therefore, I do not have any significant issues with the Ubuntu Server.
Everything is good with Ubuntu Linux. I do not have any significant challenges with Ubuntu Linux.
How are customer service and support?
I have not contacted Ubuntu Linux support.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
Setting up Ubuntu Linux is easy for me. It takes just 10 minutes.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I am currently using laptops, desktops, and servers, and Ubuntu Linux supports all these devices. If I need it for Raspberry Pi or something similar, I can download another Linux distribution.
What other advice do I have?
I was thinking that Ubuntu Linux and Windows would work on the same machine. With Windows 11 , they came together, so it is a good thing. On the GUI, when I use SSH or PuTTY or what is called a console port to connect with the network devices or servers, it is somehow difficult compared with Windows. If it gets easier, then it will be great.
It is really hard to think of specific benefits in Ubuntu Linux that are not available in Windows at this time. However, on the security side, Ubuntu Linux is more secured.
At this time, we do not purchase anything related to Ubuntu Linux Server through AWS Marketplace .
On a scale from one to ten, I would give Ubuntu Linux a rating of nine.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Using the Ubuntu Linux distribution in daily work
Ubuntu system UI UX
Discovering extensive documentation and seamless software integration elevates daily operations
What is our primary use case?
Ubuntu Linux is my operating system for daily use, and because I am related to networking operations, I prefer Linux over Windows. The FortiClient in Windows is very limiting and the IT department most of the time doesn't know how to open certain ports or are very limited in their skills with FortiClient, so I have more freedom to open ports and run some services with it.
What is most valuable?
One of the best features of Ubuntu Linux is that if I need something, I just download it. Everything I need I could search for on the net and just download it and use it, whereas Windows is more problematic.
Ubuntu Linux's rapid support and extensive documentation are fine to me. Every time I need to do something, I find well-explained documentation about the process, so I have no complaints about the documentation or the info about how to do it.
What needs improvement?
I always use just the LTS versions of Ubuntu Linux, but I found recently some software that needs the 20.04 version, which is out of the support lifecycle, and those systems are needed by us, causing a problem when I tried to upgrade. The systems stopped working and it was a disaster, as they support the LTS but the old ones, and when I need to update some packages, they are out of the support system support cycle.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used Ubuntu Linux for maybe 12 years.
How are customer service and support?
I have never rated the support or customer service of Ubuntu Linux as I have never used it.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with the pricing for Ubuntu Linux is that I always use the free version, so I never paid for any installations or support.
What other advice do I have?
I have not used Ubuntu Linux's cloud-init capabilities for configuring or managing instances in cloud environments.
I don't know of any things that could be better with Ubuntu Linux, as everything works fine.
On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Ubuntu Linux a 10 plus.
