Ubuntu is Great for Developers but Not for GUI users

  • June 20, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu has more security than Windows, and it doesn't need antivirus. And we can edit Kernal for customization and use it for a secure connection to cloud servers. Booting issues are very less compared to Windows, whereas Windows is getting BSOD booting issues. Ubuntu Desktop is very useful for Developers and Server engineers.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you are using Ubuntu, you must remember many commands to run or install the packages. Ubuntu doesn't support many apps we use daily, like outlook and Microsoft products. Of course, there are other free versions like libre Office and wps but Microsoft products have more reliability for backup
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secure SSH connections to the Servers and Kernal customization and coding. Installation is complicated for developers using Windows, SSH, and other dependent packages. Ubuntu Desktop is Best for Developers and Coders.

One of the best OS for developers.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is very fast as compared to windows. It is free and open source, which means anyone can use, modify and distribute for free. Ubuntu provides long-term support releases, which are supported for an extended period. Ubuntu offers a vast software ecosystem which provides developers to set up their development environment. Ubuntu offers a powerful Command-line interface. Ubuntu is also a popular choice for containerisation and Docker-based development workflows.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not beginner friendly for users who used to work on Windows previously. Its GUI is not that great. Many advanced features like Windows are missing. Gamers may find Ubuntu unuseful due to its limitation with certain games. Software compatibility is also an issue for some software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu brings me close to the machine, which helps me find bugs and optimise my code to run on all operating systems efficiently. Its command line interface also helped me to program efficiently.

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a very nice and small size. I always carry ubuntu in a pendrive for easy access, and there is zero to no bloatware. You can fully control the process I want to run in the background and which shall not run.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is almost nothing that i like about ubuntu, I don't know why most of the people are not using it instead of using windows or other operating systems. Plus there are almost no issues or bugs. If there is one bug the community comes together and fixs it quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is free so when ever i am dploying any kind of server i install ubuntu in it, plus it's very lightweight so, even it can be easily installed in low speed internet

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is open source Linux distribution. There is no need to pay for using this operation system. Huge community is there to help, if you have face any problem while using Ubuntu.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only disadvantage is user need to some knowledge to use Ubuntu. Because it's linux. We can't install a program easily like open .exe file and next next to install in windows. We need to some basic terminology for using Linux terminal. This is the only disadvantage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu server my money. I am an administrator. There are more than 200+ computers are there our lab. If i purchase operating system like windows, or other enterprise edition, the cost more than 500$ ~ 1000$. But Ubuntu is free and open source.

Ubuntu OS

  • June 09, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a more secure, resource-friendly, fully customized OS for Desktop computing.
It does not need many installations to run, and I like more the feature of window tiling. It requires simple Hardware/Software to run/work on the system.
This OS contains a lot of apps compared to other OS

The great thing is that It is free/open source for personal and professional usage and is easy to install.
What do you dislike about the product?
A few popular software like Adobe, mp3 etc. does not support this OS..

Switching from Ubuntu OS to another is not comfortable.

If you would like to install some apps, you should do this by Command prompt only, not by clicking on the window.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secured our Projects from Malware attacks.

  • June 06, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Ubuntu Server is its exceptional stability, reliability, and security. The operating system provides a solid foundation for development, ensuring that critical applications and heavy workloads can be handled smoothly without frequent crashes or downtime. Additionally, Ubuntu Server benefits from regular security updates, giving developers peace of mind knowing that their systems are well-protected.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Ubuntu Server is an excellent choice for development, one aspect that can be a drawback is the learning curve for those who are new to Linux or command-line interfaces. The server administration and configuration can be a bit challenging for beginners who are not familiar with the Linux environment. However, with some dedication and resources available online, this hurdle can be overcome, and the benefits of using Ubuntu Server outweigh this initial learning curve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu Server solves a variety of problems for developers, and I find these benefits highly valuable. Firstly, it offers exceptional stability, minimizing the risk of server crashes and ensuring smooth operation of critical applications. Additionally, its strong security features alleviate concerns about data breaches and unauthorized access.
Ubuntu Server's extensive package repository and active community support further enhance my productivity
