"The user interface is good."
"It is easy to operate and perform any tasks."
"The solution's price is affordable."
"It is an open-source tool, and it doesn't have any support. If there is an issue with the implementation of a feature, such as clustering, I am not sure how to resolve it and get support for it. The stability of the vendor packages also impacts the stability of this solution. When vendor packages are unstable, or any packages are broken, they also impact Ubuntu Linux. It is very hard to resolve an issue related to unstable vendor packages."
"When installing software, an online interface has to be used and commands written to run the installation. The solution could be improved if it was possible to click twice in an icon for the installation process to begin."
"The solution is not user-friendly in comparison with Windows."
"Linux does not provide a user-friendly interface."
"The learning curve is quite high for non-technical users. Therefore, it's not a suitable solution for a general office environment."
"Ubuntu is putting great efforts into making their platform a great hosting platform for Kubernetes and other related tools, but they are not addressing the challenges with what it takes to run Ubuntu in a large Windows-based environment."
"More drivers for hardware such as different network adapters should be developed."
"The installation of Ubuntu is somewhat complicated, requires better documentation."
"The updates are excessively long and take an entire hour during startup, which is ridiculous."
"This solution is good enough, but Windows is always playing catch-up when it comes to development. An improvement I would like to see is in Windows updates. They don't seem to test the updates."
"Users should be able to access the system remotely."
"The solution could be faster and demonstrate better performance. I"
"The installation consumes a lot of space and the response time is not as fast as it should be."
"I do not like the interface of Windows 10 very much and the performance could be enhanced. Sometimes everything is a little bit cumbersome. When I used the interface of Windows 7 it was much quicker than Windows 10, as far as finding the information. I preferred Windows 7 for this interoperability. It was easier to interact with the Windows 7, to use the control panel. With Windows 10 there are fewer settings in the control panel as well, but there's the different possibility to reach the same information, and sometimes it creates confusion."
"The solution could be more stable."
"I would prefer to see an OS that is lighter."
