Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Canonical, Oracle and others in Operating Systems (OS) for Business."Flatcar's support is good. The version I am using is stable and allows us to make needed changes."
"This open source operating system promotes very secure environments with less possibility of being attacked. Support for this system is great because of its quick SLA."
"Windows needs a refresh option to refresh its screen, but Ubuntu doesn't need that. It refreshes automatically and works well."
"The product is easy to use."
"Stable and easy to use solution."
"Ubuntu Linux is flexible because it has a lot of new features, so you can use it without any problems."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The most valuable feature is that it's developer-friendly and easily accessible. Like any other Linux operating system, you have access to open sources, all the necessary tooling, and anything that helps developers do their work. I'm no Linux guru, but Ubuntu offers packages that I find easy to use. There are other options for people who are very skilled with Linux, but this solution has the perfect balance of having enough technical requirements to meet your needs while still being usable. It doesn't require you to be so technically proficient that you need to recompile kernels or anything like that. It's a Linux operating system for normal people."
"Stability of our systems has only improved since moving from CentOS to Ubuntu LTS."
"The development teams could sharpen their skills. They should offer applications on the net."
"I am really very satisfied with this solution. However, one thing that I would like to see improve, is to have better support for multiple screens with multiple resolutions. For me, that is the most important feature."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"An easier to configure firewall would be a good add-on."
"It can be improved in terms of user-friendliness for inexperienced users. It also has a lot of scope for improvement in terms of deployment. It is kind of hard for inexperienced users, and the learning curve is very steep. There is not really good documentation for new professionals. Even we are using network servers to install it."
"The solution should have more personal use applications for this platform."
"Limited application support compared with Windows and MacOS."
"You need a lot of bandwidth during the initial setup in order to pull from the repository. Without good bandwidth, you'll get cut off and the implementation will fail."
"Better integration between the interface of the software and the operating system itself would be a benefit in the future."
