Lightweight, Efficient, and Perfect for Development

  • December 09, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is one of the lightweight operating systems available as open source. Nearly all of our systems run on Ubuntu. It is easy to install on both desktop and laptop machines. The system is very resource-friendly, efficiently utilizing CPU, GPU, memory, and storage. There is no unnecessary bloatware; only useful utilities are included with the downloads. Ubuntu supports almost all the tools and IDEs needed for development and server deployment. For desktop users, it now also offers a good user interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are times when Ubuntu servers become completely unresponsive, and restoring them to a functional state requires a forceful stop and restart. In these situations, a regular reboot or normal shutdown does not work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The majority of our developers rely on this operating system, and most of our servers are also running on it, except for a few that require a specific OS to function.

The Go-To Linux OS for Homelabs and Professionals

  • December 09, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu has become the standard Linux OS for many people. It's very popular for homelabs as well as professional environments. I love that it doesn't require the resources to run smoothly like a Windows OS and it's free!
What do you dislike about the product?
Every Linux OS requires some knowledge for terminal commands, so it's not merely a GUI driven operating system. There is a larger learning curve than Windows, which may prevent people from using it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu provides a stable OS for my homelab. It allows me to learn new things and stay current with tech without having to spend any money on software because it's free and open source.

It's also a great Linux alternative that is better for daily use and more flexible. The initial setup is self-explanatory, which is really convenient.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu is not heavily used unless it is for tech or cybersecurity, making it pretty unique on its own.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
