Best OS for programmers

  • December 29, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have two laptops, one on Windows and another on Ubuntu.
My favourite would be the latter, because not only is it open-source, lighter and faster; it is the BEST OS for development and programming and also for any kind of data science analyses because of high compatibility with software and dependencies. The cherry on top is the fact that it is more secure than other more widely used OS and more immune to hacks and viruses, thanks to the way it is built. It also comes with pre-installed software so we don't have to download everything separately.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not as user friendly as Windows unfortunately and the learning curve is steeper for not so tech savvy users. Although this can be overcome through educating oneself by watching tutorials. Once the learning curve is crossed, it is the best OS to use overall.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Ubuntu to develop software, write code and also run bioinformatics analyses in the command line for various studies involving disease, systems biology, proteomics and genetics. I like that all the software, dependencies I need are supported by Ubuntu. I use several programming languages for coding in Ubuntu and the IDEs for all of them are supported. Currently the project I am working on is finding novel therapeutics for thrombosis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would 100% recommend Ubuntu for all new users, especially programmers. I would advise to watch a few YouTube tutorials so that you can get the hang of using Ubuntu and the commandline :)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been using it for our company work. It is really easy to work with Ubuntu for software development.

Ubuntu - a good OS but shadowed by centos in production

  • December 13, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is simplicity redefined. Super easy to get started with.
Ubuntu is good for small dev environments as well as for general purpose daily use as it has a smashing UI and very complete features as compared to CentOS - my other primary OS but unfortunately this does not translate well to other usages such as production environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
While documentation is complete, the package manager is not very straightforward when automation is needed.
There are other limitations as well such as we often are unable to get some specific package installed or there is some weird dependency required which cannot be directly installed. I find that centos handles this beautifully and there are fewer hiccups there. It may be my personal bad experience or some very specific and weird scenario but I find that centos is a better competitor for production environments which is probably validated by its wide industrial use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu has been a staple in my life for a very long time. I've used it in dev environments as well as a daily driver OS and I am in awe of its completeness and feature rich presentation. I have mostly used it for its powerful command line but it has a very good set of components that make it extremely valuable.
