Si estais usando otro sistema "open source" os aconsejo que os cambieis a Ubuntu,ofrece muchisimas más facilidades que cualquier otro y también ofrece cientos de programas gratuitos y todos son "open source" para que tengas la comodidad de usarlos a tu gusto sin restrinciones como en Windows,asi que les aconsejo que se cambien a Ubuntu sin pensarlo

Ubuntu User Experience

  • August 26, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is the most user friendly distro among the entire Linux ecosystem. Over the year, many improvements have been brought to the User Interface and now with Ubuntu 18.04, things have completely changed. Many bugs have been fixed, UI has been fine tuned to suit even a beginner user and thus the learning curve for Linux has become linear now with Software Centre providing apps for all your daily needs.

Comparing with windows, would definitely recommend Ubuntu as a go-to solution for all your speed problems. Unlike windows, this Operating System doesn't get slow with time and process management is very efficient, thus your PC runs very smoothly.

Finally, for those geeks out there, you already know working with terminal is the best experience. You can practically control every aspect of the Operating System since it's open source and speaking of security, there are very less virus attacks that happen on Ubuntu since the package installation process and root system architecture is very secure.
What do you dislike about the product?
>At the initial phases of Ubuntu, the user experience was bad with the learning curve too steep, but with the recent releases this gap has been filled.
>There are still some bugs that pop out rarely that interfere with hardware like Bluetooth which depends on device.
>For the GAMERS out there, I WOULD NOT recommend Ubuntu for you. Windows is the best option for you as a wide list of games are supported there. In Ubuntu only lite games are supported.
>Many apps are still not present in Ubuntu like iTunes which can be a problem to apple users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest benifit through Linux Distros like Ubuntu is at the server side. Since it being lite and has a wide compatibility it can be used in the clouds and IoT very well.
Then, it is a biggest boon for the programmers since a wide array of libraries, languages and IDEs are supported with the added advantage of Terminal.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make the switch now. Thank me Later! And if you're stuck on anything, there's a huge developer community for Ubuntu out there and I'm sure your problems would be solved in a breeze.

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 need to 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 since 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 verified 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.

Adaptability to any work environment, does not depend on proprietary software and has software for any situation.

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
