Ubuntu : open source is awesome

What do you like best about the product?
Just install the things that you require which in terms increases the efficiency.
What do you dislike about the product?
Dangerous commands, which can wipe the entire computer. Don't fool around if you are a beginner.
Lack of some graphics software force me to switch to windows to complete my work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I mostly use it to organize and deploy my codes for the software. Use it for network testing and version control.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just go for it. Initially, it might seem tough but once you get used to it there is no going back.
Stick to it for just once and you'll be loving it. And as a bonus, it's less prone to virus :P.

Ubuntu, if you don't need to use any other software

  • September 29, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is fast, everything is great. I can easily install new software from the internet, really like sudo install and sudo update commands, it would be nice if you implemented a cool html button to click to automatically install some softwares, but I could see a security flaw, or like a button that can be rated by the linux community.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I have my hard drive partitioned, it messes with my windows OS partitioned drive making it not work well
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
web developing, it is great because it is fast, It is easy to install certain things.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
use the most up to date ubuntu as it may have the network drivers you need, and you need the network drivers to start everything.

When formatting hard drives, try to remove them from your windows right away, and linux, because when you view any files they use different filing systems and it messes with the windows, though linux seems to be fine.

Ubuntu was not bad, but some time has made me bored with some error popup message

  • September 29, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
it's a unix like OS, so the terminal syntax is very familiar and well known, scripting in ubuntu was as easy as on mac OS.
it does not need any cost, it's free for everyone, i very very love this one :D.
What do you dislike about the product?
it almost crash every I start the ubuntu, even in the morning, there is a error pop-up coming up in the window and then it asked me either to continue or ignore, it does not make sense for me, so some time ubuntu has made me bored with some useless error-popup message.
and the most important thing was ubuntu's battery indicator was not help me, it was not represent a real battery status. and also, Ubuntu need more battery power, so it was'nt optimal, I think.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Some programming problem, solve by some apps i ubuntu, it does not need any cost, everything was almost free for everyone.
Actually, There was more benefit I got from ubuntu, i had some project to handle and also I got some money with that free OS.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The most things to be a consideration:
- Free OS,
- Battery life is too short,
- *nix like terminal/shell syntax
- it's really Free
- and it was Free
- yup, that is Free for you

Ubuntu has always been an easy favorite to use.

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a very good operating system to use. You do not need to be an expert to install Ubuntu and once installed, it works better than even Windows!
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I can say that I dislike about Ubuntu.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is much cheaper to use Ubuntu for servers, than with Windows. We have saved hundreds, if not thousands by using Ubuntu Anyone that has not used this OS will be surprized at how fast, easy and cheap it is to implement.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Save the headache of using WIndows or Mac. If you use an OS for personal or work, this OS is right for you.

A Full Fledged Server at No Cost (...or for a few bucks).

  • September 28, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is perhaps the most well-raised child of all Linux distros family which has been around for more than a decade as one of the most easy and at the same time stable desktop operating systems available now. It's LTS (long term support) versions are definitely a pick for fast setup of any on-premise server, stable and versatile.
What do you dislike about the product?
If one could point a disadivantage in Ubuntu I think it's how a little heavy on hardware resources it may be when compared to other non-desktop distros.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is a perfect fit for fast setup of any kind of local network server one could need. It can perform well in small networks as firewall, name server, directory, database among dozens of roles.

One of the best OSes out there

  • September 27, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love Ubuntu's reliability, performance, and accessibility.
What do you dislike about the product?
Microsoft's ecosystem only grudgingly works with it, which is annoying, but Google's ecosystem works great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's hands-down the best OS for web development, as well as my personal favorite for servers. It has drastically reduced the amount of time I have to spend getting new dev systems configured for development, and has provided years of uninterrupted uptime for servers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend looking around at all Ubuntu can do out-of-the-box, it's impressive. You should consider trying out Evolution for email if you like Outlook, otherwise Thunderbird does a fairly good job.

Also, while it's not required, I recommend getting to know the command line, once you get used to what it can do you'll never want to go back to a system without it :)

Ubuntu is User friendly

  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Without a doubt ubuntu is free and secure to downloading and installing softwares.No virus attacks in ubuntu.It also saves the antivirus cost.Ubuntu has a strong community support and it is the one of the biggest advantages over other distros.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Ubuntu Logo appears corrupted or just looks odd while booting.When GRUB runs, the boot sector part of your hard disk contains information about which OS you can boot. This sector sometimes gets corrupted due to a system crash or power loss and your computer won't boot
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is free to use.There are no restrictions while installing softwares for our business need.
