    Computer Software

A good choice if you work in software industry.

  • August 29, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
If you don't like something is really easy to get your hands dirty and change whatever you want, easier than other Linux options in the command parts and you have more freedom than with Windows or Mac.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes you have to search for a long time in order to make something work because almost all software is prepared for mainstream solutions like Windows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We only use ubuntu to code because it seems to work better with low level code in C.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you work in the software industry you have heard of it, maybe this is the time to give it a try.

Free operating system

  • August 19, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best part is that since it is based on Linux, it is a free operating system. For users who are not very familiar with Linux, it is ideal because it is very similar to Windows.

This operating system takes up very little space and manages processes more efficiently than Windows.

It has a large community behind it, always making improvements and updates daily.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downside is that most games or programs are not available for download on this operating system; you must download a program like Wine to be able to use software that you could install on Windows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is free, which saves money on purchasing a license. Also, most viruses do not affect this operating system as they are created for Windows.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend the use of Ubuntu not only for the price but for the freedom of having free software and being able to configure it to your liking.

I have installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on my desktop two months back.

  • August 17, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Ubuntu 18.04 as my workstation, for the past sixty days and the operating system is working in perfect condition and, so far I have not faced any problem even after using it, for so many hours in a day.
The best thing I like about Ubuntu 18.04 is its software repository as it has all sorts of software available for developers as well as for graphic designers right from IDE's to Libra Office and the installation process for the software is quite easy. For music lovers, there is Rhythm box and, for capturing the screenshots there is Screenshot available.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only problem that, I don't like with this Linux operating system is its slowness, for starting, it takes quite some time to set itself for functioning properly and even for opening the browser like firefox it is quite slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a Web developer, I use atom for IDE and the browsers like Firefox and Chrome for testing the web pages and sometimes I use Inkscape, for graphics and for word processing I use Libra office and Tomboy. The greatest benefit of using Ubuntu 18.04, is its free software repository and it is quite useful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I will highly recommend Ubuntu 18.04 to others as its installation is quite easy and there are thousands of free software in its repository.

Ubuntu is the best desktop distribution

  • August 13, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is one of the distributions that is making the most effort because it is the desktop GNU / Linux distribution number one. Its constant updates and new features, its support, its stability, its graphical interface, more and more intuitive and careful, its graphic improvements. All this is getting more and more achieved for the end user, and that this, each time has fewer shortcomings since his arrival in Linux.
What do you dislike about the product?
In the latest versions of ubuntu, the UNITY desktop manager has been using, which I believe is not up to ubuntu, is slow, heavy and unfocused.
On the other hand, it gives me the impression that it is being sold in commercial interests
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
More than half of my users use it as a desktop operating system, with some great results. I also use it on some non-critical servers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the LTS versions, the last one ubuntu 18.04
