Ensures uninterrupted backend processing and secure package management
What is our primary use case?
I use Ubuntu Linux to send text messages and error logs from a server. I employ it for everything, from processing video to a variety of tasks. It is used practically for anything.
What is most valuable?
Ubuntu Linux is extremely stable, rock solid, and reliable. It can run for years without issues, providing peace of mind from a stability perspective. For any backend processing server, I would use it as long as the hardware is reliable because the operating system will just work. Red Hat Linux, a commercial suite, is also very stable and runs consistently. Ubuntu Linux's security and package management tools are excellent.
What needs improvement?
Linux sees improvements each year, with new releases introducing features to enhance functionality. While I do not find any issues myself, others might, which leads to regular enhancements. There is a push towards integrating AI into software for various purposes like video and sound processing. The market continuously offers new developments, with AI being a prominent focus.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Linux for twenty to twenty-five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Ubuntu Linux is extremely stable and maintains uptime effectively. It is ideal for backend processing because of its reliability, provided the hardware is functional.
How are customer service and support?
I contacted Red Hat technical support around six years ago due to a problem I was encountering. They responded well, understood that the issue was not on my end, and provided a patch within two days. It was a positive experience with their support.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
I have done the deployment hundreds of times, and it is easy for me. It typically takes an hour to an hour and a half.
What other advice do I have?
New features in Linux always bring enhancements, and there is a current trend towards AI integration. I have not yet embarked on any AI or machine learning projects with Ubuntu Linux, but I may explore them later. If systems remain operational, I do not face losses; however, if they fail, the potential loss of money is significant. I rate Ubuntu Linux ten all the way. On a scale of 1 to 10, I rate the overall solution a 10.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is significantly faster than windows and consumes much less memory in comparison. I've been using it since my college days(i.e from past 5 years ) and have never faced any issues related to speed or memory usage. It is also easy to install as a dual-boot option and offers extensive community support. As a developer, I find it easier to manage programming languages and versions, as well as install new applications using the terminal.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the features are missing and and it can be a bit difficult to use if you are a new user. Also many graphic intensive applications can be challenging to run on Ubuntu, and the biggest problem I've faced with Ubuntu is it's driver's incompatibility, a lot of time the WiFi drivers stopped working unexpectedly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's much faster and consumes far fewer resources compared to Windows, which ensures smooth multitasking even on lower-end machines. Also, its strong security makes it less vulnerable to malware and threats, reducing the need and cost of third-party antivirus software.
Another major advantage is its vast community support, which provides solutions for almost any issue making software setups and system customization much easier for me.

Sure
What do you like best about the product?
I like Ubuntu because it is a secure, stable, and free operating system. Its interface is intuitive, the installation is simple, and there is a large community always willing to help. Additionally, being open source, I can customize and adapt it according to what I need, without worrying about licenses or additional costs.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I don't like about Ubuntu is that some programs are not compatible and sometimes it can be complicated to find the right drivers for certain devices. Additionally, in environments where systems like Windows predominate, its integration with certain programs or networks may not be as smooth. If you don't maintain a frequency of use, it's easy to forget some commands or configurations. Also, for those coming from other systems, the learning curve can be a challenge, and official support is not as accessible as in other systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu has some issues, such as the lack of compatibility with certain Windows programs, the need to manually install some drivers, and integration with systems that mainly use Windows. At first, it can also be a bit difficult to get used to its operation. However, this helps me explore free alternatives, learn more about hardware and software, and develop skills in Linux, which can be useful for technology topics, QA, or even for my entrepreneurship.
