Linux is a world apart. If you want a new operative system, and you are starting as a Linux user, this can be a nice option for you.

The software store and .deb packages are nice. There are a lot of apps that you can install in your Pc and use in UIbuntu

Best Linux Distribution

  • July 31, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is a free source software, it is free, constantly being updated, with lots of options. Easy to install, to use it, so powerful and beatiful comparing with rest of Linux distros. If you have any problem you have a huge community to ask.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some libraries get old and there are not compatible with new verions, therefore very difficult to install if you must use them with last verisons of Ubuntu.
Last updates have increased the minimun requirements, which force to some old machines to run older versions of Ubuntu.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is the main Operating System for all the PCs of the company.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is the best open source Operating System, even I would say it is headed to be better than Windows.

I love ubuntu

  • July 31, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is so easy to use, it's like a sandbox to play in for a software developer. Installing programs is a synch, there is a ridiculous amount of supported packages for Ubuntu, I have yet to find one that doesn't support Ubuntu. It's extremely customizable with extremely low overhead code, or 'fat'. It's extremely fast and easy to manage, and the bash command line is really intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu 18 is rough around the edges, I have had several issues with startup and GUI crashing. I've managed to fix a few issues, and I know the team is trying to iron out the bugs, but it's pretty annoying to deal with. That being said, Ubuntu 16 is in great condition, and that is what I usually use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use ubuntu in all my VM's that I can for rapid prototype development. I also use it on several internal projects that I collaborate on, it's easy to pass code between teammates with dependencies and get a quick install going. Several of our in-house applications also run on ubuntu.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are a strong linux user, and are considering trying Ubuntu I highly recommend it. I have used CENTOS, RED HAT, and MATE, but Ubuntu has been my favorite of those, with only MATE coming close. I have really enjoyed it, and I hope you do to. It's a great tool.
