Light, free, the development environment for everyone
What do you like best about the product?
Its UI has been made accessible and friendlier over the years with smooth transitions and feel thanks to GNOME. It is the most accessible and easiest environment to get into Linux with. The themes and customization options are quite broad. Its ISO and system load is lighter on the hardware than Windows flavors are and customization options are even broader by utilizing the BASH and CLIs. Many software tools have support for its distributions, so I can setup development SDKs of even lesser-known packages with more ease than I can on Windows or MacOS.
What do you dislike about the product?
The CLI and the overall reliance on Bash commands and modules to fix certain things about your OS, from drivers to orientation to UI, make things more compicated than Windows. Despite its UI offering a lot more than it used to, the settings are still limited in what you see compared to what you don't know you can do with the terminal. When I install packages, using apt or apt-get, it can be hard to completely remove them when dependencies get installed. I need to scrutinize what other packages got shipped with it that were not removed because the system still thinks I need them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All my development work is done on Ubuntu, because most software tools contain installation instructions tailored to Ubuntu (that they might not for even MacOS or Windows). The UI also distracts me a lot less as compared to Windows. There are some packages that work only on a Linux-based environment, and there are less complications in setting them up here than on Kali or Bodhi Linux. It also comes with several commonly-used packages on its install, like gcc, git and openssl, hence, every time I do a fresh installation, I do not have to set these up myself.
Ubuntu Server Review: A Stable Foundation for Your Infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu Server LTS (Long Term Support) releases are known for their stability and reliability. They receive updates and security patches for five years, providing a solid foundation for server infrastructure.
Ubuntu Server benefits from regular security updates and a large community of users who actively report and address vulnerabilities. Additionally, features like AppArmor and UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall) help enhance server security.
What do you dislike about the product?
While LTS (Long Term Support) releases receive updates and security patches for five years, non-LTS releases have a shorter support period, typically around nine months. This means more frequent upgrades are necessary for users who prefer the latest software.
Ubuntu Server, like many modern Linux distributions, may consume more system resources compared to lightweight alternatives. This could be a concern for servers with very limited resources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu Server provides a stable and reliable platform for hosting web applications, databases, file servers, email servers, and more. This helps businesses ensure that their critical services are available to users and clients.
Ubuntu Server is open source and free to use, which can significantly reduce licensing costs compared to proprietary server operating systems. This cost savings can be especially beneficial for small and medium-sized businesses.

An easy-to-use solution for desktops, MCE with Kubernetes platform but lacks support, stability and scalability
What is most valuable?
Ubuntu Linux is easy to start, and MicroK8s is easy to deploy. Plug into the back-end storage and networking is also easy.
It is good to start with 3-4 nodes, but hard to scale. For production grades like 20 or 100 nodes, we go with the RedHat for on-premise.
What needs improvement?
The support team is not good and needs to be improved. The user community is excellent and helpful, but some questions are unanswered. Also, stability and scalability could be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Ubuntu Linux as an end user for six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The tool could be more stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The product’s scalability is not better. RedHat is better. We’ve more than ten users using this product. We plan to increase the usage when there is a requirement or specification.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is easy. Deploying OS is fast and takes less than a day.
We can do the installation on a small scale without consultants, but when it comes to scale.
Ubuntu is an OS. You need the specification, storage, network, IP, etc., and deploy it by orchestration or just do the standalone installation infrastructure.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
If the customer wants to start, there is no license required. It is all free, but they must purchase the production license.
What other advice do I have?
Mostly, the product is on-premise, but in some cases, we managed to deploy applications in the cloud.
The solution is easy and simple to start because of complete documentation. When you go for production, we must purchase the hardware and OS license.
Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
Best experience for Unix system
What do you like best about the product?
It has a good community and a lot of packages which we can install easily than other is like CentOS
What do you dislike about the product?
In old versions got some snap errors and all but that why it's old and we should use new versions
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I usually host my web applications in Ubuntu server and it is quite easy to use it.
