Ubuntu Linux Reviews

The solution is an Android service package.

Firstly, the attack surface is a lot smaller. There are fewer vulnerabilities. If you look at a list of CVEs, you will see that while many systems are targeted, fewer attacks focus on Ubuntu than other operating systems because Ubuntu is highly customizable. You can configure it exactly how you want, secure it thoroughly, and turn off unnecessary services, yet it will still function properly. Unlike a Windows machine with numerous dependencies, Ubuntu can operate efficiently with only the essential components enabled.

The stability could be improved.

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for four years.

The product is stable. It depends on the use case. If you try to use it as a multifunction server—such as a file, print, and logging server all at once—it may not perform optimally. However, if you use it for a single dedicated function, it is one of the best options available. I rate it a nine out of ten.

There are effective ways to manage large amounts of Linux devices remotely, but it requires knowledgeable personnel. While business tools exist for managing Linux, it's more complex than using Windows, which level one or two technicians can manage. For Linux, you often need specialists. However, Ubuntu Linux's free licensing and open-source nature can reduce overall costs despite the need for skilled administrators.

There are enough forums and other means of support for Ubuntu Linux that you don't need official group support.

The initial setup will be easy. Once you start using it, you will manage the rest of it. Although it can become quite technical, a lot of support is available. You can disable any services you don't need, ensuring no unnecessary ports are open. Unlike Windows, which allows everything by default until specifically restricted, Linux keeps everything closed and only opens what is necessary.

You've got thirty steps and multiple other forums anyway.

We are using Ubuntu Linux for a specific task. Based on our experience, it is very efficient. Instead of using a Windows server for easy access, we have set up a new server tailored for manual users. Despite this, some users still rely on a Windows server. However, when I use a Linux cluster, it works very well. All my users interact with it seamlessly.

Play it first to get the skills before diving into anything complex. Start with simple tasks, like setting up an email server. Once you have those basics working, you can move on to more advanced tasks. We often find that Windows users tend to set things up in a certain way because they are familiar with Windows. Therefore, it's important to understand what you are doing from the start. Once you have a good foundation, it will be smooth sailing.

We have tried various approaches from a Linux point of view. We still support those, and I have a specialist tool that can efficiently support them.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We can use the solution for browsing. We can also use it as a server and deploy and configure it as a file or web server. The use case depends on the user. I use it to deploy something which I want to test out. If I have to test out ELK Stack, I might use Ubuntu because it’s free.

The GUI is user-friendly.

The solution must provide more integrations.

I have been using the solution from time to time whenever I require it.

I rate the tool’s stability a nine out of ten.

I am using the solution for my personal needs. It is possible to increase the number of users depending on who uses it.

I have used Windows. I use Ubuntu only for testing purposes. Some things can only be tested on Linux.

The initial setup is straightforward. It takes 15 to 30 minutes to deploy the OS. The product can be used on the cloud as well. However, I have deployed it on my own laptop.

I deployed the solution myself. We have to follow the standard OS deployment process to deploy the tool. We do not need any consultation. We might need a live CD, or we can download the image from the Internet. We can boot from the USB and just follow the instructions. It will be deployed.

There is no licensing cost for the product.

Ubuntu improves its products every year. Earlier, the GUI was not good, so Ubuntu improved it. They have removed the complexity of the software. My recommendation depends on people’s use cases. If someone wants to test something that is more stable on Ubuntu, they can use the solution. They can use other Linux flavors like Red Hat, too. Overall, I rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten.

On-premises

I have been using Ubuntu Linux as the primary operating system for our developers and many people we work with.

Ubuntu Linux is the most secure option on the market. For business-focused people, a Mac is preferred, but for developers, Ubuntu Linux is better. Ubuntu Linux's good desktop experience makes it easy to use even if you are not comfortable using the command line. It has excellent integration with development tools, including CI/CD and Atlassian products. Most of our code development occurs on Ubuntu Linux, and it integrates deeply with development pipelines, making it straightforward to manage. Additionally, Ubuntu Linux's parent company provides canonical pipelining for machine learning, ensuring compatibility and efficiency.

In the past, OpenOffice was a pain point on the Ubuntu Linux side, but now, because everything has moved to online platforms like Google Cloud or Microsoft Cloud, it's not a problem anymore.

I have been working with Ubuntu Linux for approximately fifteen years.

Ubuntu Linux is very stable. It works as expected without any major issues.

I have not contacted Ubuntu Linux directly. We had some communication through a customer where the canonical product was considered for machine learning, but not directly.

Neutral

We are a no Windows company, using Mac or Ubuntu Linux only.

I have deployed Ubuntu Linux hundreds of times. It can take from an hour to a few days depending on the server. However, scaling is straightforward without any issues.

Keep my review anonymous. I rate Ubuntu Linux as a ten out of ten; it's a perfect tool with no issues. The overall solution is rated ten out of ten.

On-premises

We use the solution as a backend production server. We run our Docker containers on Ubuntu. We mainly use it for automotive charging software.

The product is easy to use. I like the tool’s performance and availability.

The product must provide integrated security solutions. I use third-party security solutions now.

I have been using the solution for two to four years.

Currently, we are trying to implement our solution with the Kubernetes environment. We need horizontal scalability, not vertical. When we need more capacity, we add another server and distribute the load onto the new server.

We do not use support because the answers in the community forums are enough for us. If we gain more customers in the future, we might need support.

We were using Windows before. I like Ubuntu’s performance compared to Windows.

The setup is really straightforward. It is not complex. We develop DevOps scripts to deploy it. It takes only one or two hours. If the hardware is available, then it will take only one hour. We prepare the hardware environment and deploy the solution. After that, we deploy the Docker container environment. Then, we run the whole software. The product is deployed on-premises because we are still in the testing phase. We have a small number of customers. In the future, we will try to migrate to the cloud.

The product is cheap compared to Windows. We pay a yearly license fee. I rate the pricing a four out of ten.

I do my job directly on the terminal server. Ubuntu is a good choice. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

We use Ubuntu Linux to manage various services, such as installing software like Python, PHP, and other server-side applications. Additionally, we install .NET and web applications using PHP, NGINX, and MySQL.

Ubuntu Linux stands out compared to others in terms of performance. Its smooth operation and ease of use make it a preferred choice for many users. With Ubuntu, managing tasks and troubleshooting errors is straightforward thanks to its user-friendly interface and comprehensive error alerting system. Ubuntu is an open-source platform that allows easy access to error logs, making identifying and addressing issues simple.

Ubuntu Linux is good for one to two years. We can easily identify the line numbers and everything we could be able to see. Additionally, we have stable and standard paths for root directories, so we can easily remember those folder setups.

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for six years. We are using the V18.04 and V20.04 of the solution.

We haven't experienced any downtime till today. I rate the solution's stability a ten out of ten.

The solution is scalable. We are using ECS for our backend, running ECS instances exclusively. Depending on the task requirements, we can easily scale up without limitations.
Around 15k users are using this solution. It is on autoscaling. We are maintaining load balancer. Whenever it writes automatically, it will spin up additional added sources.

The initial setup is simple and takes 10-15 minutes to complete. We can do it by simple commands. When writing a simple ML file, we can employ uncomplicated syntax. With Docker Hub, we can readily retrieve this operating system, and through simple commands, installation can be automated, upgrading to the latest version seamlessly.

The solution is in the dedicated hosting. We spin up training instances by writing simple comments.

The product is free of cost.

Typically, we disable automatic updates for production services. However, we enable auto-updates on our side in development environments. Even for free servers, we do not allow automatic upgrades for any new changes. This is because it may take some time to reflect, and sometimes the server fails health checks.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
