Great OS for beginner and experts alike

  • August 03, 2017

What do you like best about the product?
Lightweight, highly customisable. What's not to love about Ubuntu? They have great customer support and it's a generally brilliant OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
Again, nothing I dislike about Ubuntu. Of course it lacks some of the features of OSX and Windows but that's to be expected. That takes nothing away from what it does offer and it covers all the necessary basics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's not as heavy as Windows and has the customisation that OSX doesn't.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Bare in mind this is a lightweight OS so don't expect the sleekness of OSX.

Ubuntu is my favorite Linux Distro, I love being able to use it daily!

  • July 28, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I'm a relative newbie to the Linux world, I've only been using it actively for around 10 years. My first distro was ubuntu 7.04, when I found an old business class laptop at a yard sale and needed to wipe the drive. I fell in love with the interchangeable interfaces (eventually settling in on the default Gnome), The powerful shell commands and the freedom of the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to use Ubuntu for my home and office work, but sadly there just isn't the support for software that you see on Windows or even Mac's OSX. There are still pieces of software I need a windows install to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu allows for easy central control through Puppet and enterprise AD integration. The developers in our environment love that our support staff can log in remotely through the command line and fix issues without having to be at the machine.

Great Windows Alternative

  • July 18, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The capabilities of Ubuntu are amazing. The terminal / command line gives the most flexibility and option a user could want. Software is available mostly through common repositories, making installs and upgrades very easy. The software is not closed, so customizing is fairly easy to do. OS upgrades can, if you choose, happen daily, making your system as current as possible. There are also multiple flavours of Ubuntu to install, depending on your specific needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
There tends to be more bugs than you will see in OS like Windows. There are also anomalies in the interfaces of some softwares, not bugs, but just unexpected behaviour. Sometimes updates get lost in themselves. There are dependencies that are not met or conflicting due to other installed packages. It takes a bit to sort them out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is used to satisfy the need of a powerful, powerful system to work and integrate well with all other operating systems. It is all, well mostly, open source software, making upgrades of a lower cost. Compatibility with Windows is amazing, this is a major plus as Windows is the primary OS in most organizations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
One of the best and highly recommended Linux distros there is for business and personal use.
