Ubuntu Linux Reviews

The product serves as an essential operating system for starting a PC. Once the system is up, users can install applications, browse the internet, and perform various tasks. It serves as the foundation for daily computing activities.

The primary benefits of using Ubuntu include its reliability, security, and cost-effectiveness. It provides a robust operating system foundation for various computing tasks, making it an invaluable tool for both personal and professional use.

Apart from a subscription based pricing, the product's free version is highly useful, offering multiple graphical user interface (desktop environments) options. Ubuntu can be installed on server (server verion), workstation & standard PC, also it is available as  Ubuntu terminal environment on Windows with Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). This caters to a wide range of system and user needs. Its Linux-based nature makes it preferred among technical professionals, including developers and network administrators. 

The main challenge is restoring the system from a crashed state, which can be complicated for non-technical users. However, with experience, this becomes more manageable.

I have been working with Ubuntu for around six to seven years.

The platform is stable.

The platform is scalable. It is used by all users in my organization, totaling around 200 executives who use Ubuntu for learning. Developers primarily use it daily for various tasks.

The setup process for the product is straightforward, offering both graphical and non-graphical installation options. Improvements could include bug fixes, enhancements, and upgrades, which are typically addressed in future releases.

Implementing Ubuntu is easy and can be done in-house without the need for external support. Creating a bootable USB installer and following the installation process is typically all that's required.

Since Ubuntu is freely available for download and use, there is virtually no investment required, resulting in a high ROI.

Ubuntu is essentially free to download and use, making it accessible to anyone without the need for licensing costs.

The highly secure and customizable product makes it a preferred choice for regular users and hackers. Its open-source nature allows for extensive customization, while its robust security features protect against various threats.

Its reliability makes it suitable for both personal and enterprise use.

The product is excellent for individuals or organizations seeking a free and reliable operating system. It is well-suited for technical users, developers, and those working in data centers or network environments.

I rate the product a nine out of ten for its overall performance and reliability.

I built some application servers on it, like Wi-Fi. I also use it for configurations of servers. 

I like that it is free. 

There's ample documentation available for most features, and I find it straightforward to use.

Stability could be improved.

I have been using it for several years. 

I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. 

I don't need the scalability aspect. 

There are around 10 end users using this product in our company. There are around 40 servers of Ubuntu servers in my company.

We don't need the support. We can easily find answers on the internet. 

The initial setup is not complex. 

I usually can do it by myself. For the deployment process, I created some virtual machines because I usually use some virtual machines for my servers. After that, I downloaded the appropriate image of Ubuntu and deployed it.

It's free. I haven't paid for a license. And we can manage all our servers by ourselves.

Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten. I would recommend using the product. 

I use Ubuntu Linux to update some drivers related to some of my work.

Windows can automatically detect the drivers of new devices, and you can easily use them in the Windows system. Ubuntu Linux does not easily detect the drivers of new devices, and you need to do some trial and error for some of the third parties porting into it.

Ubuntu Linux should improve its embedded hardware so that users can work easily. In order to use multiple embedded devices with Ubuntu Linux, I need to add some device drivers.

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for three to four years.

Ubuntu Linux is a stable solution.

Around three to four people are using the solution in our organization.

The solution's technical support is good. We get quick answers to our queries on Ubuntu forums.

Positive

We switched from Windows to Ubuntu Linux because of the cost. If I want to buy a Windows license, it will take thousands of rupees in Indian currency, but Ubuntu Linux is free of cost.

The solution's installation hardly takes a few minutes, depending on the software size.

We are using Ubuntu Linux free of cost, and there is no licensing.

Before choosing Ubuntu Linux, I evaluated other options like CentOS. I felt Ubuntu Linux was good compared to other solutions in terms of support.

Overall, I rate Ubuntu Linux a nine out of ten.

I use Ubuntu Linux as my primary operating system on my personal device.

Firstly, it's open source, and secondly, I like its computation speed compared to Windows and other similar features.

Sometimes certain tasks are challenging due to issues with the command-line interface. Users who prefer Windows may find it difficult to transition to Linux. So, I believe Linux could enhance its user interface to make it more user-friendly for a wider range of users.

Therefore, I suggest improving the user interface.

In additional features, I would like to add an additional software store alongside the existing one. Similar to the Microsoft Store, it offers a wide range of software options.

I have been using it since 2016. I am using version 22.0 LTS.

Ubuntu Linux have two types of releases. The first one is LTS (Long Term Support), and they also release short-term support versions every nine months. I mostly prefer the LTS version because they are the most stable.

I have utilized community forums for VMware-related queries.

For the general public, I don't think it's easy because most OS installations are typically handled by engineers or service center guys. So, for non-technical users, it's similar to installing Windows or any other operating system.

Ubuntu Linux is free for personal use, including business use. However, if you require enterprise-level support from their team, you need to pay a subscription fee. Ubuntu offers custom pricing that may vary based on the business requirements.

When I started using it initially, it had better accessibility and speed. I have a low-end laptop with an AMD processor that doesn't work well with Windows. So, I chose Ubuntu Linux as it works efficiently on that device too.

You should give Ubuntu Linux a try. I would give it a ten. It's the best, in my opinion.

We primarily use Ubuntu to run and manage our monitoring solutions and applications. 

This solution is deployed on-premises. 

One of the most valuable features of Ubuntu Linux is how easy it is to manage. We have some monitoring solutions, so those applications are running on top of Ubuntu. So far, the applications are running in a way that's very stable, compared to other Linux versions and flavors. In terms of redundancy and the command line, it's very easy to manage. 

Ubuntu could be improved with more container integration and orchestration of those containers. We are looking to have more cloud-based solutions, like Docker, and container-based solutions, or Kubernetes-based solutions integrated with Ubuntu. Instead of going for VMs, we would like to have more container-based solutions on top of Ubuntu. 

We have been using Ubuntu for maybe four to five years. 

Ubuntu Linux is very stable, compared to other Linux versions. We are satisfied with the performance. 

We have five support engineers to maintain this solution. 

This solution is scalable. 

There are less than 20 end users of Ubuntu Linux in our organization. We don't have plans for expansion right now because we already have our requirements met, in terms of capacity. 

We haven't contacted technical support recently, but I think we did in the beginning. It was good. 

We switched to using Ubuntu Linux because it comes with a lot of new features. They are coming out with new releases and a lot of integrations. We have seen most of the applications work very well on top of Ubuntu, so we thought it was a good solution to go ahead with. 

The installation was very easy, not complex at all. We could manage it alone and we didn't have any issues. It took less than 30 minutes. 

We implemented this solution through an in-house team. 

I rate Ubuntu Linux a nine out of ten, and I would recommend it to others. 

Ubuntu Linux is primarily used for applications. 

We use phpMyAdmin and an ISO Index, both of which run on Ubuntu Linux.

In Ubuntu, we use both the application and the storage. Those are the features we use frequently. We also use process management, which is how the process runs over the Ubuntu for the applications, which we review. If there is an issue with the processing, we will then troubleshoot and make it live.

The security features need improvement. They need more security features.

More security features are needed to protect the current file system to prevent attacks.

I have been working with Ubuntu Linux for seven years.

Ubuntu Linux is a stable solution. It is stable enough.

Ubuntu Linux is a scalable product.

We are working with medium-sized businesses. 

This solution is not used by everyone; only a few developers will use Ubuntu to deploy the code and make the application live.

I am satisfied with the technical support. I use technical support when I have issues, and they help with that.

The initial setup is very easy.

Ubuntu Linux is an open-source product. It's not expensive.

I would recommend this solution to anyone who is thinking about using it.

I would rate Ubuntu Linux an eight out of ten.

I'm not doing coding with Ubuntu or the whole shorthand thing. I use the browser and stuff like that. I use it the way it's intended. If I download an ISO or particular distro, I use it, and if I don't like it, I find another one.

Ubuntu doesn't use a lot of resources. So I think that's pretty cool. It's totally like Microsoft.

I started using Ubuntu this year, so not very long.

Ubuntu Linux is stable. It's now on the 16th edition I think, which just recently came out. I have a paid education license. 

Ubuntu might work for a bigger company, but I don't think so. Again, you would have to get the right people to do it. You need somebody technical. If you have a bunch of people who aren't technical, then it is just going to be a headache trying to get a feel for it or teach them. Microsoft is easier. You can do this, do that, implement, push it out, or whatever. 

I never had to reach out to tech support for anything. Usually, I can find what I need by Googling it and getting an answer from the online community.

I've used a few different Linux distributions, but I didn't like the look and feel. So I don't like the other version. I forget what the other version is. There are two other versions. X Force is the blank version. I don't like that version. And I don't really like Gnome, either. 

The initial setup is straightforward. You mount the ISO, download the ICE route, and run it on whatever you want to run it. If you want to try it out, you try it out. If you want to install it, you install it. Blow away your geo part chips, and that's it.

I rate Ubuntu Linux nine out of 10. I can't really say much about using it for server purposes, and I don't know anybody who would deploy Ubuntu in a user environment. Most people are not technical, so that's not something they want to deal with. 

We use the latest version of the solution.

It is useful for running our personal applications. 

The solution is not user-friendly in comparison with Windows. It should be more so. 

We used the technical support of Microsoft Windows, as Ubuntu does not offer any support of its own. It would be nice to see local support. 

We have been using Ubuntu Linux for eight years. 

The solution is stable. 

Ubuntu does not offer local tech support, thus necessitating that we take advantage of Microsoft Window's. 

The solution is easy to install.

The installation can be handled on one's own. 

Only a single person is required for the deployment. Specialized skills are not required. 

We do not incur a licensing fee for the solution, as we make use of the free version. 

Windows is a more user-friendly solution than Ubuntu Linux. 

I would not recommend the solution to others, but Windows instead. 

We only have 15 users making use of the solution in our organization.

I rate Ubuntu Linux as a seven out of ten.
