The evolution of GNU/Linux Debian to a friendly operating system

  • May 15, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu became an important advance to bring to common users, an operating system like GNU / Linux that is aimed at computer and systems professionals. Its simple installation and requirements of few hardware resources, has made it the favorite of many people who previously only used Windows-based operating systems, and who now had the opportunity to manage a robust, safe and cost-free operating system.
What do you dislike about the product?
Despite having more than 16 years in the market, Ubuntu is still a challenge to be used by some home users, because concepts such as hard disk partitioning, is only reserved for advanced users.
In addition, it continues to present some flaws when installed on very modern computers or computers that have hardware restrictions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a computer engineer it allows me to develop software that is perfectly adapted to the most common platforms and operating systems; all this in a fast and simple way, allowing me to save time in the development of the applications.

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is completely free there is no need to pay any extra cost to use it. It has a highly secure system and there is no need to add any extra anti-virus. It constantly keeps providing updates with better and faster versions. It can be operated completely using a terminal.

The main disadvantage of using Ubuntu software is gaming. Not all the games run in Ubuntu and the one which runs have bad graphics. One needs to learn a few commands before using Ubuntu.

The future of open source Operating System - UBUNTU !

  • April 02, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I don't think anything could be better than being open source and ease of use for an Operating System. It easily beats all other OS out there and stands on top all alone. The number of updates you get is undoubtedly an advantage, and your choice to update to a newer version is simply amazing. The security it provides to me as a user is again an added advantage, and the ease of customization would appeal to any user too.
What do you dislike about the product?
The more and more updates you keep getting on Ubuntu, it might feel like an advantage, but sometimes these updates aren't adequately tested, and you might end up getting some issues on your system, which doesn't do good to any of the users. This is why you might consider windows or other operating systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been using Ubuntu for a long time. Not really solving any business problems, but personally, I have been able to avoid unnecessary issues that I might run into using other OS, and the need to update when wanted saves time and energy. Also, the pleasant UI is a treat to my eyes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are considering Ubuntu, make sure you update your system only when you feel that an update might have been tested by the community because no one would want to run into unsolvable issues and then regret later.
Other than that, it is a very flexible OS and can easily be your best OS.

Powerful and lightweight

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I like most is the facility of installation, the installer is guided step by step and I could follow anyone. Another crucial aspect when talking about an operating system for servers is Robustez, usually do not produce problems with this aspect.
Another of the great advantages is the large application base available. In addition Ubuntu Server is a very popular operating system, so there are manuals of all kinds.
What do you dislike about the product?
At the moment I have not found any considerable disadvantage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Although many people do not like, Ubuntu Server is very good as a production server. I think it is ideal for deploying services such as mail, cloud storage or web server of a small business.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a good choice for the ease of starting.
