  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is best open source platform ever. It is free for all. The best thing I like about ubuntu is it's simplicity and security. Literally it is very easy to use. It supports numerous of packages in its library . We can easily get them just by writing simple commands. Ubuntu is also available in different languages. The main feature of ubuntu is command line we can use whole operating system just by writing commands , it's a very cool feature of Ubuntu.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although I like the Ubuntu most but it has some problems also like graphic drivers are not easy to install in Ubuntu and also it has too many updates too early. If I want to play games then Ubuntu cannot fulfill my task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being a Software Developer I use ubuntu to make various projects related to machine learning . Ubuntu made it so easy to develop such kind of projects . I had develop and Image AI project by which we can find out name of any object that is bring infront of camera.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to develop something then go with ubuntu and if you want to go with gaming or other high graphic related thing then go with other operating systems.

My Ubuntu Experiences

  • July 16, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is really useful, especially since I am someone interested in software. Because it allows you to manage the resources and libraries you will use in the software you will make. At the same time, you work both from the console and includes side applications such as browsers. It is also useful for regular users of Ubuntu. Because usually viruses are not available in this operating system. For this reason, you do not need to use a virus program. Turning your computer on and off is also faster than other operating systems. Because the originally loaded runners and the memory used are very efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
The bad feature is that you need to know all the steps related to software or program installations and the helpful items that will go down. If it is missing, your transaction may be incomplete.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu allows me to make software more dominantly. It also allows me to make more efficient software because I can manage resources. An operating system that I usually use to produce software.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are a user without much knowledge or knowledge of the software, you should be careful when using the command screen when using Ubuntu. Because there is no mechanism that prevents you from accessing the physical side of the computer, it may encounter big errors. You may cause the operating system of the computer to crash.

Ubuntu: An excellent alternative

  • July 04, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This operating system is free, portable and flexible to install. For instance, Ubuntu allows you to run the terminal on Windows, and it is easier and faster than other options I have tried for Linux on Windows. It is easy to run and get started. Futhermore, it ts lightweight.

You can customize the terminal.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although it is easy to install, it does not come installed on many devices as other operating systems.

If you do not have acces to a server, you need to download all the packages and features. This process is slow and it requires computer memory so it can be daunting. In this sense, there are major applications that are unvailable to use with the operating system.

It is very different from other operating systems, so you need time to learn how to use it. Futhermore, it can be frustrating to troubleshoot issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Ubuntu to do bioinformatics. Before I started using Ubuntu, I used one program to connect to the server and another program to download files from the server to my computer, which operating system is Windows. The benefit of Ububtu is that I don't need extra programs to work with the server in my computer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My recommendation is that if you are looking for a Linux distributor try it. Use the support and the user community that will be your best tool to learn how to use it and how to resolve problems.

Linux based OS

  • June 25, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is an ideal Linux based operating system for multipurpose functions. It holds many softwares and some softwares are also mandatory for windows. It offers a wide range to connect to any type of IoT device in the world and can be raised to a great level with a little customization. It can be used as a server and workflow design can also be done in a good way.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a professional purpose operating system with almost every support. It has so many features that it is difficult to say what I like on it. The only thing that bothers me the most is the GUI services, as the GUI is built for easy workflows but at the time of customizing it is the Securities and Software installations and the code needed to do that work to uninstall will be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a good operating system for any type of work. It helps me in my analytics work and also supports server distribution for connecting client nodes and also provides me information of data nodes. I use it to deploy my projects and also help me in my presentation and office tasks. However it has a wide range of useful softwares and includes a lot of protection against the environment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This would be beneficial and highly recommended for people in the system administrator area as all servers are on Linux based OSs that require some training and are used as servers without protection from viruses.

My Daily Runner For4 Years

  • June 19, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's free, open-source and is very secure compared to most of the other common operating systems.
Way less bloatware which makes my computer lightning fast.
I'm a web developer and setting up testing environments is relatively easy as most web hosting servers are structures similarly.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a large number of applications that are not compatible with the operating system. If you do a lot of graphic design, animation, and video editing using premium software, moving to Ubuntu might be challenging.
While it is a good operating system once in a while you'll encounter situations where you need to type commands for functions that require simple mouse clicks on other operating systems.
It's different from the more common OSs and getting used to it is a learning curve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu allows me to continue using an old, low-spec laptop that would struggle running on the manufacturer-installed OS.
Ubuntu is great for web development as it allows me to set up local servers which are very similar to live web servers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you decide to go with Ubuntu I recommend you first research on whether your current computer hardware is supported, or if you are planning on buying a new computer, then buy one with Ubuntu preinstalled so that you know that you won't have any hardware compatibility issues.

An interactive and easy to use linux based operating system.

  • June 16, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is a Linux-based operating system to support all necessary Linux related functions as well as some Windows applications. It is an open source product that makes it easier to manage and enhance security with some customization. It has an e-mail servicing application in the form of Thunderbird for easy connection to email accounts. This GUI is interactive and easy to manage which makes it easy to find any software. It has a secure shell and provides many features for user support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some code is required to install or uninstall any software with ease of management and operation of the GUI. Even managing any connection it only needs to operate through the terminal. An additional software must be installed to take remote connections across devices. It has some extraordinary restrictions, some directories that frustrate users to use it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my professional work it helps me with my documents and presentations, it is with Office, it has a cli application as a terminal, which helps to make any queries related to Linux easier and work which helps me to host, connect and manage my guest and client machines to server. This helps me to perform security checks with security analysis classes and find bugs on the network.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is the best known Linux based opensource operating system with enabled Linux features and software. It can be used for daily tasks just like windows as well as for testing vulnerabilities and network dependencies. It can host as a server and provide services to connect client machines with efficiency support.

An amazing operating system with interactive GUI

  • May 27, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's overall easy layout and user interactive GUI that helps to navigate through it easily. As it is built on linux shell so it supports a wide range of prebuilt linux tools that help for further work on it. It's best feature is once it gets customised efficiently than it holds a security of good level
What do you dislike about the product?
As one could feel the extreme features of linux but then also he or she should have to write code on terminal inorder to proceed with some new software or services. In one go if someone thinks as this software is ready to go then it's a bad decision as it requires a lot of customisation in order to be at that level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am working on data analysis and big data and though I require a linux machine and due to its light weight I would always prefer ubuntu for better support and performance and always helps me to run it on old devices also.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is an amazing operating system that supports a lot of security and linux based softwares, every technical person needs to use it once because of it's no virus feature also. It's GUI is so fascinating that it feels just like windows and a little of code knowledge from internet would help you to customise it to a great level so that there will be no harm to your device from any method
