What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to set up and install; it gets out of your way; I feel like I could install it on my mother's computer and she would be able to use it properly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't enjoy Snaps, and would prefer Ubuntu to impliment flatpak and join the rest of the linux community.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is less invasive than Windows, more stable, and has a great application ecosystem.

Ubuntu keeps getting better

  • August 06, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Ubuntu is how clean and easy it is to use, plus it’s fast, secure, and comes with a built-in software store that makes installing apps super simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Ubuntu is that some apps or software don’t always have full support, so I sometimes have to find workarounds or use the terminal more than I’d like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu solves the problem of expensive, complex operating systems by offering a free, user-friendly, and secure alternative. It helps me get work done smoothly without worrying about crashes, viruses, or high system requirements.

The best/simplest/powerful OS I have ever come across

  • August 06, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is my most used OS all for my Server Purposes. All of my apps/software is being deployed to multiple ubuntu bare machine. The lightweight-ness and compatibility of the OS is what I love the most. Compared to heavy OS'es like Windows, Windows Server - Ubuntu gives me an awesome experience in terms of development, management and deployment. If you know a bit of CLI and how machine and OS's works - Ubuntu can give you the most

Debian/Ubuntu's GUI version is also equally worthy. As someone who explores different OS's for different purposes - so far nothing made me switch from ubuntu to other distro's. Stability is another thing, over my carrier - I am not seeing almost zero - zero instance of converting my server's or dual boot's from ubuntu to some other distro's.

Simplicity and availability of lot of tools/software's are an added advantage.

If your are needs are not specific like cyber-security or some niche domain, Ubuntu will be so far the simplest while the most stable and powerful OS one can use

I will also appreciate ubuntu being fully Open Source - That gives me a sense of security that what I am running to protect my professional and private data is not actually a spy software
What do you dislike about the product?
Gaming support is not a strong point for Ubuntu.

Also there are incompatibility with GPU providers such as Nvidia and some cases related to Machine Learning etc.

Driver availability - although personally is fine for me, but is also a point to note. Certain hardware drivers won't be readily available with Ubuntu
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
An open source, trustable, light weight operating system is what Ubuntu solves.

For me the above three itself solves the major things.
- Open Source - Its transparent enough to know what is done and how, not just by me, but by anyone around the world
- Lightweight and trustable - Want to deploy it in a light weight server - Ubuntu can do it, Want to deploy it in a compact hardware - Ubuntu can do it, Want to deploy it to maintain a large system - Ubuntu can do it -- The key answer I would like to highlight here is, what ever the job is, Ubuntu can handle it with its compact size and powerful features

Ubuntu: The Go-To Linux Distro for Everyday Use and Development

  • August 01, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that Ubuntu was easy for me to set up, even as someone who isn’t a Linux pro. My laptop worked right away without extra drivers, and I can usually find any software I need in the repositories. It’s reliable for my daily use, from coding to browsing, and the community support has been great whenever I had questions.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside for me is that troubleshooting rare hardware or software issues can take longer than I’d like, and sometimes the docs don’t fully cover my situation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu gives me a stable, user-friendly system where I can develop, automate tasks, and get support easily. It saves me time and makes my work more efficient.

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu provides a stable, secure, and highly customizable environment that works well for both beginners and professionals as someone involved in web development and backend scripting i appreciate that Ubuntu comes pre equipped with essential tools like Python, Git, and SSH the APT package manager is efficient and rarely breaks dependencies, while Snap makes it easy to install containerized apps
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu is stable the Snap packages can be noticeably slower to load compared to traditional packages on older machines GNOME can consume more RAM than expected
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu gives me a controlled Unix-based environment that mirrors most production servers, which helps ensure development to deployment consistency it has reduced my dependency on closed ecosystems and saved licensing costs without compromising performance or features the flexibility of using terminal tools, automation scripts, and containers (like Docker) in Ubuntu has made my workflow much more efficient
