Ubuntu Is Great

  • December 31, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of entry and using the software as a developer compared to windows

For basic development and development software, Ubuntu is easy to get started. When I moved to ubuntu, the best thing about it at that point was how easy it was for me to install LAMP in just a matter of minutes. It was also very easy to upgrade too.
What do you dislike about the product?
Softwares are not readily available unlike macOS or Windows. Apart from those, ubuntu is great entirely. Another problem might be the software for working with documents.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use ubuntu in my day to day work in developing enterprise applications
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's the best software out there!

Once i used to start work in ubuntu i became a fan of it. Best in the category of Operating System.

Eventhough ubuntu is one of the best in the stack, it still need to improve in some parts. I had some trouble in playing media files which should be improved.

Best in the stack, go for it.

Good OS for Developers

What do you like best about the product?
The best part of Ubuntu is the ability to modify or customize the OS according to preference.. and the activity monitor works like a charm to check what apps are using more RAM.
What do you dislike about the product?
Needs more work on the Visual side of OS
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Windows is bloated and macs are expensive.. Also Ubuntu is opensource.. so it a great community to be in.

A better view from your "Windows"....!!

  • December 03, 2019

What do you like best about the product?
The operating system experience is solid and is far better experience than what you can get on windows. 1. The UI is minimalist but with great emphasis on ease of use and access.
2. Ubuntu 19.04 is one of the fastest GNOME I've used.
3. The app support is really awesome and with the current updates you can enjoy a lot more games as the graphics support has increased.
4. The whole operating system feels more snappier and snazzy than before.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are still some bugs present from the previous versions like :
1. You can't minimize an app by clicking the app icon instead you need to click on the minimize button to minimize the app!
2. The concept of multiple desktops doesn't seem to work as the app remains open in the current desktop too.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The hefty amount which I was paying for my Windows OS is gone. The support forum is really helpful and content oriented which makes me solve my issues with ease. This was not possible with windows as their troubleshooting doesn't seem to work always and the price I used to pay for support was huge.
The app support of Ubuntu GNOME is increasing day by day and now it supports almost all of the apps from Windows and MacOS.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are ready to give up the name of Windows and the app and graphics it supports then Ubuntu is the answer for you.
It is free and vastly customizable.
It has better security features as compared to Windows.
Best suited for development as compared to Windows as it comes with various programming languages and IDE pre-installed.
It comes with BASH pre-installed a developers paradise!!
My recommendation is if you have been using Windows for quite a time and is fed up with all the bloatware and sloppiness the Ubuntu is there for your rescue!

Best part is it is open source. I like open source products. More powerful feature is its terminal. No one has better terminal than ubuntu.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dont like that ubuntu developers not developed similar application as wine. I dislike the way graphics content is handled in ubuntu. I know it is not meant for that but it sometimes required.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Im solving my problem of operating system
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend ubuntu if your company resource to use ubuntu than other os. Because you can secure it the way you want you can configure almost anything to restrict user from get trapped into phishing.

Good overall experience

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a very efficient and customizable OS. As it is open source there is a lot of online support as well, for any issues that you might face. Generally fast and not bloated.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, it doesn’t support the hardware of the laptop you install it on. For example, there were no drivers available for the Dolby Atmos speakers of my Lenovo laptop. These are slight issues with using an open source OS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I had worked with Ubuntu for over a year now, and I used it for most if not all of my tasks related to coding.

Ubuntu Provides a Best-in-Class Operating System

  • November 16, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a stable, secure, and freely available operating system that works efficiently on every computer I have ever tried it on. Not only does it deliver a great desktop for laptops and computers, but it is a fantastic choice for running a server as well. It is my top choice when it comes to operating systems, whether I am using it on a machine locally or running a web-server and other server-side applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have been using Ubuntu since the very first version. There are very few things that I dislike about it. Although it might not be compatible with certain pieces of software I might need to run from time to time (e.g. Windows applications), those instances are very rare, and 99.9% of the time there is an alternative available.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Among other things, my company runs its own Software as a Service (SaaS) product. As one of the best supported Linux operating systems available, and one of the most popular for running a server, Ubuntu is indispensable to my company. Our return on investment has been measured in a relatively short period of time, and selecting Ubuntu has provided us the opportunity to focus on our business, rather than getting tied up in system administration.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do not hesitate to use Ubuntu for your daily use, development needs, and/or operations. It is a great all around operating system that will never leave you dissatisfied.

Ubuntu is a great operating system

  • November 14, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is open source. In this way, developers can further develop the programs or use parts of other programs for their own programs.
You have already installed many programs from the beginning (pdf viewer, office, image processing, Gaim-ICQ, etc.)
Rights management is significantly better than in Windows. I can share which user can see and change which files.
If I change the important settings where the system could be damaged, I must enter the root password.
You can select new programs from a list and download and install them automatically. It is no longer necessary to search the Internet for possible sources of downloading programs.
The update is automatic for the operating system and all programs installed over the Internet.
Multithreading is more enjoyable. Programs do not block the system so fast.
The 3D desktop is really elegant.
I can use almost all programs.
What do you dislike about the product?

Sometimes drivers are missing. Especially for hardware.
Drag and drop does not work perfectly from the beginning.
 3D acceleration of graphics cards is generally not activated from the beginning.
Windows opens a little slower.
 There are not many Windows-based programs for Linux.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I knew this operating system thanks to my work colleagues who taught me how it works. At the beginning I had difficulties in understanding how it worked since the initial configuration posed some problems. Today I use it every day improving the performance of my two computers and making my applications work with better performance and capacity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Open operating system that allows a more efficient configuration than conventional software with a large community of users that solve any doubt.
