User-Friendly GNOME and Reliable Updates Make It Stand Out

  • December 04, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The GNOME component is excellent and very user-friendly. Apt offers extensive libraries, and its continuous updates help keep the system stable and secure for everyday use. I have noticed that every two years, an LTS version is released, which further enhances stability, security, and readiness for the future.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much to mention, but I have occasionally found it challenging when the production or cloud server environments differ, especially when the package names are not the same. This can make things more difficult to manage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The fact that it is open source is its greatest advantage, as it allows anyone to use it without needing a user license. This is not the case with many other operating systems. Additionally, its compatibility with widely used processors such as AMD and Intel makes it even more accessible and practical for everyone.

What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Ubuntu is its overall ease of use and the smooth ease of implementation, whether I’m setting it up on a personal machine or configuring a development environment. The OS offers a rich number of features while remaining lightweight and intuitive. Its ease of integration with tools like Docker, Git, and cloud services makes it ideal for development work. Ubuntu also provides dependable updates, strong security, and a large community that acts as an informal extension of customer support, ensuring that solutions to most issues are easy to find. Because of this reliability, my frequency of use is high-I rely on Ubuntu daily for both work and personal projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times, certain proprietary applications or drivers are not completely optimized for Ubuntu, which may necessitate manual setup. Hardware compatibility problems-particularly with Wi-Fi adapters, graphics drivers, and printers-can still occur depending on the specific device. Additionally, major version upgrades occasionally bring changes that disrupt established workflows, so it is important to approach updates with care. For newcomers transitioning from Windows or macOS, there can be a learning curve, especially when it comes to using the terminal or adjusting system settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Provides a stable and consistent environment for development and testing.

2. Eliminates dependency issues through a reliable APT package management system.

3. Offers excellent support for Docker, containers, and cloud-native tooling.

4. Reduces security risks with regular updates and built-in security features.

5. Saves setup time with smooth installation and easy configuration.

6. Works well even on older hardware, reducing the need for upgrades.

7. Minimizes system crashes and compatibility issues, improving productivity.

8. Offers strong community support for quick troubleshooting.
