Most Practical Operating System to use outside of OS X and Windows

  • January 05, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's not as user friendly as Windows or Mac but of all the Linux flavors I've used, Ubuntu Desktop was the easiest to install, set-up and use for work, study and other various stuff.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you are a Microsoft Office fan, you have to make some workarounds to make them work over Ubuntu or else, install the OpenOffice or the like which are not as smooth or as cool as the Office suite we know.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Usually, when I have an old PC or laptop which lags due to updates in Windows OS or the computer is just deteriorating for some other reasons, I install Ubuntu Desktop and it makes the machine alive once again. Also, if I'm trying to avoid buying licenses for a machine which doesn't really need Windows for tasks like programming, design, video editting, gaming and the like, I install Ubuntu Desktop because I can have what I need in there without spending money.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are cost-cutting for a project or work and need a computer for stuff like programming, video editing, gaming, and the like, you don't need to spend money on Operating Systems. Just install Ubuntu Desktop.

Ubuntu Server 20.0.4 LTS

  • January 04, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The stability of the server is important especially when it runs mission-critical or infrastructure applications and services. Also, the availability of prepackaged / containerized apps make it really easy to deploy services.
What do you dislike about the product?
Without some background in UNIX / Linux Administration, the admin/user may face some challenges. The management of snaps feels a bit complicated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our DNS, and FTP servers are running on Ubuntu Server. The platform is stable, well supported, and integrates well on our virtual infrastructure (VMWare + Hyper-V). We have realized extreme stability and high performance out of the box.
