Product version discussed: Oracle Linux eight
Delivers strong support for AI projects with quick deployment

Pros

"Overall, I rate this solution as the best solution at nine out of ten."

User interface needs refinement but serves well for server functionality

Pros

"I have not had any stability issues with Oracle Linux."

Cons

"I feel that Oracle Linux should improve to have a graphical interface that would be much more user-friendly, similar to Ubuntu, so that people who want to interface with the Oracle servers can have Oracle Linux desktop on their personal laptops as well."

Unbreakable system benefits enhance operations amid support limitations

Pros

Provides excellent manuals and installation guides, offers good stability

Pros

"If we use Linux, Solaris, or some other operating systems, we have to build a lot of packages using RPMs (the packet manager). That's a difficult task. With Oracle Linux, we use a single command to update from the Oracle website. "

Cons

"The main challenge for new users of Linux is the command-line interface (CLI). It can be intimidating if you're not familiar with it."
