Fast and secure

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is the first OS which I learned and used in my college. This is the best OS to start journey in IT industry. It is fast as well as secure, also it is the best OS for programmers. It becomes very easy to share the files as it's speed is very fast. Also it just take 40GB space in hard disk for installation of OS. I am currecly using duol boot PC with windows and Ubuntu. It's UI is best and it does not hang just like other OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing which I am expecting from Ubuntu is that it should support more applications as I can not install required applications on Ubuntu. So I have to switch between windows and ubuntu very often due to unavailability of features. Otherwise if I will get all my favorite under one Ubuntu OS, I will permanently shift to Ubuntu.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Ubuntu for programming purpose. Also it is very easy to write scripts and run it. As all the file opener applications are inbuild, there is no efforts required to donwload extra softwares for opening files.

UBUNTU IS the safest and most stable OS but at what cost?

  • July 31, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
UBUNTU was the best OS I used because, as advertised, it compiles itself to run on your system and not the other way around: just click "ESC" while booting, and you will actually see it loading and compiling a ton of drivers and stuff to give you the optimal experience your hardware can manage.
The server version can be set up to accept WINDOWS clients and link to a MICROSOFT network environment, and it offers a wide range of variants to choose from.
The best thing is it is virus-free. Programmer boast that if you wish for your computer to catch a virus running UBUNTU, you will have to manually download a virus and install it yourself.
What do you dislike about the product?
Many of the applications I use at my office are WINDOWS compatible, and they are not compatible with UBUNTU. You can try to run WINE, but it's not the same thing.
You can find a counterpart for every software you need, but you cannot share their files unless the recipient has the same software, so yes: compatibility is a big problem, and that's why I stopped using it.
Updates need to be launched manually, and if you did not configure the repositories well, you would not be able to do it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At school, we have many old laptops that cannot run windows smoothly because their hardware is outdated. UBUNTU can run on almost any hardware configuration, which is one of its' major strong points.
Also, WINDOWS sometimes just refuses to access some external storage devices like USB keys or even HARD DRIVES. With UBUNTU, as long as the device is still functional, you can access it and use it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
UBUNTU is like your private tank: it just keeps going while helping you get the most out of your hardware.
Secure, fast, and dependable, it probably is the best OS out there.
If you do not mind learning other software, it is the solution you need: it's free, available in many versions and distros, and runs on virtually any computer.

Not easy to use.

  • July 28, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best is you can work on the same source files than your co-worker in a harmonious way.
What do you dislike about the product?
Bazaar is not easy to use. The harmonization of source files from developers can become a nightmare.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was working on a development project with another developer, and Bazaar was the way we harmonized our works since we worked on the same source files.

Ubuntu should be market leader!

  • July 27, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love the ease and simplicity of ubuntu-desktop; it can take some getting used to due to the main differences between Ubuntu and other operating systems you may be more familiar with. Ubuntu makes the learning process pretty easy, and it's a very intuitive operating system. Throughout my time (2-3 years) using Ubuntu, I have found it to be a very stable OS. Most importantly, Ubuntu is FREE!
What do you dislike about the product?
As mentioned, making the switch from other more popular OS's, does result in somewhat of a learning curve due to the open-source nature of the OS being so different from what we are used to. I have found a few hardware compatibility issues while using ubuntu that always seem to crop up out of nowhere, when least expected, which can be a bit frustrating, more so for home/non-technical users. But these issues do seem few and far between, for me at least.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu predominantly solves the problems surrounding costs. Being a free OS has saved my employer 1000's due to never needing to purchase any licenses for new versions.
