Ubuntu: A Complete Review of the Most Popular Linux Distribution

  • October 10, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Ubuntu is its simplicity, stability, and versatility. It’s incredibly easy to use, especially for a Linux-based system, with a clean interface and straightforward package management through tools like APT and Snap. Installation is quick and well-documented, making setup smooth for both beginners and advanced users. Ubuntu offers a wide range of features and strong community support, ensuring that help and updates are always accessible. It’s lightweight yet powerful, running efficiently on older hardware while also supporting modern enterprise needs. Integration with cloud services and development tools is seamless, making it a great choice for servers, developers, and everyday desktop users alike.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Ubuntu is excellent overall, some updates can break compatibility with older drivers or software, especially after major version upgrades. The Snap package system, though convenient, can feel slower and less consistent compared to traditional apt installs. Also, for power users, the default configurations can feel restrictive, requiring extra tweaking to optimize for advanced use cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problem: Many users need a reliable OS without expensive licensing fees.
Solution: Ubuntu is completely free and open source, with long-term support (LTS) releases providing years of security updates.
Benefit: Users and organizations save money while enjoying a stable and secure system for both desktops and servers.

The King of the Linux OS

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is very user-friendly and is an excellent choice for those new to Linux. Many applications come pre-installed, and you also have access to tools like Snapstore, Flatpak, and the APT package system. If you're worried about using the command line, Ubuntu makes things much simpler, allowing you to accomplish most tasks without needing to rely heavily on terminal commands.
What do you dislike about the product?
Snap packages can be sluggish to start, and some users dislike the forced Snap integration. Memory usage is higher than minimal distros like Debian or Arch, and occasional GNOME shell extensions break after updates. Ubuntu’s default look also hasn’t changed much in years — functional but not exciting. Innovation? Not much.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu addresses the fundamental challenges of software cost, stability, and flexibility. It offers a fully functional, secure, and open-source operating system that doesn’t require costly licenses or frequent maintenance. I rely on it for development, multimedia tasks, and everyday computing, and it consistently performs without the unnecessary bloat or forced updates that are typical of many commercial systems. The package management system and extensive repository make installing new tools straightforward, while its reliability allows me to concentrate on my work rather than dealing with system crashes. Frankly speaking, Ubuntu is much more stable, secure and efficient to get job done compared to Windows.

Overall, Ubuntu provides me with a dependable, free, and customizable platform that maximizes productivity and minimizes system-related frustrations.

Linux Ubuntu very good to use

  • October 10, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like using Ubuntu because it makes my day-to-day as a sysadmin easier, with many tools for accessing servers, services, debugging, in an open-source way without the need to license products for its use.
What do you dislike about the product?
For some cases, you need to know how to use the terminal; those without experience might not like it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being open source already makes it much easier with the use of Docker, for example, facilitating my work without having to pay for it.

Reliable and user-friendly operating system for web development.

  • October 10, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I value Ubuntu's robust command line interface and the Advanced Package Tool (APT), which streamline the processes of installing, updating, and removing software. The system's stability, security, and extensive customization options provide an ideal environment for Laravel development. Additionally, Ubuntu's similarity to most server environments ensures that transitioning from local development to production deployment is both smooth and consistent.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some software I use is not available on Ubuntu, like Adobe Creative Suite or certain proprietary tools. New users might also struggle with Linux concepts such as file permissions, package management, and system services at first. There may be occasional compatibility problems with software that only works on Windows or macOS, but these can be managed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu solves the problem of system instability and crashes that I faced with other operating systems while working on multiple projects and servers at the same time. It offers a stable environment where my system rarely crashes or hangs, even during heavy workloads. This stability is vital for smooth development and testing. Furthermore, Ubuntu simplifies server setup for live projects, making it easier and more reliable. This helps me deploy and manage projects effectively without downtime or configuration problems.
