Ubuntu Linux Reviews

It's very helpful for development. I'm a software developer. Linux is very easy to install a couple of things from the terminal. We can do most of the things from the terminal. It's very useful, in terms of their application in the cloud server. We can install it in the server, in our community server. If I do something in my local machine in the terminal, I can do the same thing in the cloud server. That's why I'm using Linux Ubuntu.

A few years ago, maybe two years ago, we were affected by some kind of encryption virus, a malware virus. It affected most of the Windows system due to the fact that our system was connected with some LAN connection. However, the Linux-based systems were not affected as it's a different OS. In our office, we just removed the Windows thing and put everything over on the Linux OS. 

It's stable.

The solution is free to use and open-source. There is no license needed, which is actually better, even though I like Windows. 

Our cloud server's a Linux-based operating system. I need to deploy my software on our cloud server. I just use Linux on my local server. Whatever I do for my software in my local server, the same needs to happen in the cloud server. That part is easy. I can replicate that software in my cloud server. If I do it in Microsoft Windows in that local development, that is totally different from our cloud server. It will cause issues in our cloud server. That's why I am using Linux in my system.

Linux is virus-free. 

The GUI in relation to the initial setup is very simple. 

If you are in the middle of an update, and things are disrupted, it can cause issues. You need to wait for the update to complete before doing anything. 

Windows we can handle by ourselves when it comes to troubleshooting, however, Ubuntu is a bit difficult. We need some other technical person to troubleshoot things for us. It's kind of difficult to maintain as compared to Windows.

In general, Windows is easier to use and friendlier to deal with than Ubuntu.

We've been using the solution for three years. 

The solution is stable and does not get infected with viruses. It's very resilient and the performance is good. I haven't dealt with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

We have about 150 people using the tool.

We do plan to increase usage in the future.

Ubuntu has some community over the internet. There is an Ask Ubuntu community online. Whenever I have some problems, I can check through the website and get some solutions. Sometimes it can take a little longer to resolve things if the question doesn't have an answer online.

I'm also familiar with Windows. In many ways it is easier to use, however, it is more prone to viruses and malware, which can be an issue.

This is an open tool. It's easy to install. From the GUI, we can just click next, next, next, and then install.

The process is very simple. It's not overly difficult.

In terms of maintenance and troubleshooting, we do require a more technical person.

I can handle the initial setup myself. I do not need the assistance of any integrators or consultants. 

The solution is open-source. It doesn't cost anything to actually use it. You just download it from their website and you can start using it. 

Currently, I'm using Ubuntu 20 LTS, 20.04 long-term support.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. I tend to prefer Windows and would recommend it over Unbuntu.

We primarily use the solution for running some applications and for various apps or software. It provides integration with operating systems.

The solution is stable.

The scalability is good.

In terms of deployment, it's a pretty quick process. 

Ubuntu's safe and fast. People have migrated from Windows to Linux due to this.

It's offered as open-source, and therefore does not cost anything to use. 

There is a strong community around it that can help with troubleshooting.

I don't have many technical insights about the product. I can't speak to what features are missing. 

For user interfaces, there are other operating systems such as Windows and Mac that are more user-friendly. Linux does not provide a user-friendly interface.

We've been using the solution for quite a while. It's been five years or so. 

The stability is good overall. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. The performance is good.

The solution does not need to be scaled. 

We have 30 to 35 users on the solution currently.

We might increase usage in the future. However, it's hard to say, as we have many Mac users as well. They would not migrate to Linux Ubuntu.

We've never contacted technical support. It's open-source. There is a growing community around it. The tech support is only available through that community.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not too difficult or complex. 

The deployment takes about 30 or 40 minutes. It's fairly quick. 

I can handle the implementation myself. I don't need the help of integrators or consultants. 

The solution is open-source. It's free to use. We don't have to pay for it.

We're using the latest version of the solution.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

This solution is ideal for people who want to build safer applications or if their goal is to quickly do their development. Those types of users should definitely try this system.

I have installed Ubuntu Desktop on my personal laptop. 

Nowadays, you can do everything with a browser, meaning you don't need a vulnerable, fancy solution like Windows for example.

I am aware that they package some versions that are lightweight and are not so process or memory-intensive however, I would like to see an even more lightweight version because I believe it is possible.

I have using Ubuntu for about 15 years and intend to increase my usage.

Ubuntu is very stable, I have zero issues.

I used Windows for a very long time, however my specialty has been on Unix systems.

I did the initial setup on my own. It takes about two hours, unattended, as it takes time to update and download.

I do not pay a licensing fee for this operating system.

I would recommend Ubuntu Linux. If people are scared of Linux machines they don't need to be, it is as simple as Windows. Don't be scared of the fact that it says Linux on the box, it's a desktop in itself.

I would rate Ubuntu Linux an 8 out of 10.

I have used versions 16, 18 and 20, mainly the first two. 

We mostly use the solution for development purposes and also test it on products before and after their release. 

The solution has a unique flavor. It is difficult to hack. It has good security features and, from a developer's point of view, provides greater control, including in respect of the processes, internals, networking and IO and voice usage, everything really. 

While there are not many features which need to be added, we sometimes are forced to resort to Google Drive sync or OneDrive sync, owing to the lack of availability of certain Microsoft solutions. The team is disparately comprised nowadays, some of whom may be using Microsoft. This would, in turn, require one to use Microsoft himself and there is some compatibility which is simply lacking. Generally speaking, it's okay. Nowadays, everything is moving to the cloud, making browser-based usage easy. 

It would be nice to see more compatibility with certain Microsoft solutions, such as OneDrive. One would want to sync OneDrive, in which case, when the client makes the data available there, we would have easy access to it. These kind of syncing features are not fast. 

We have been using Ubuntu Linux for more than three or four years. I have been using it for 20. 

When it comes to the stability of Ubuntu Linux versus that of Windows, the former, in respect of developer machines, is less energy consuming, which translates into a longer shelf life. 

The stability is one of the reasons that we use the solution. 

The solution is scalable and easy when it comes to the storage RAM. There is no need to do anything extra. 

One of the reasons we use the solution is for its scalability. 

We have not required canonical support. There is a good online community for support issues which may arise and, as things are easy and straightforward, I generally rely on Google. 

In the past we used RHC Fuse, SUSE and Unix, as Ubuntu was not an option. 

Nowadays, SUSE is considered antiquaited and Linux Ubuntu new. 

The initial setup is straightforward and very quick. 

I do not believe we have required any staff for the deployment and maintenance as of yet. So far, everything has been straightforward and easy. 

The main advantage of Unix is that it's free. 

Windows Unix and Ubuntu provide a free license and one need just pay for the hardware. Mac is costly. Ubuntu provides a cheaper and better option. 

There are those who prefer Windows for its UI features, but I am not one of them. 

When it comes to the stability of Ubuntu Linux versus that of Windows, the former, in respect of developer machines, is less energy consuming, which translates into a longer shelf life. 

We prefer both Mac and Unix. 

The main advantage of Unix is that it's free. 

Windows Unix and Ubuntu provide a free license and one need just pay for the hardware. Mac is costly. Ubuntu provides a cheaper and better option. 

However, the price criteria is not why we use Ubuntu Linux, but because it is scalable, stable and developer-friendly. 

Around 50 to 70 percent of our staff make use of Unix and Mac, because we are all developers and like these solutions. 

The salespeople make use of Recruitment HR. They use Windows, as do some of the junior staff. However, most of the developers and all of the senior ones use Unix, Ubuntu and Linux. 

I cannot think of any particular advice I would impart to others looking into implementing the solution. 

As I cannot think of any issues I have with Ubuntu Linux, I rate it as a ten out of ten. 

I use Ubuntu mostly for private purposes.

I think Ubuntu's performance is fine and so is its user interface. However, the latter is not as fancy as Microsoft Windows. It could be a bit fancier and easier to use. 

I have used Ubuntu only occasionally. I am not an experienced user. 

Ubuntu is a stable solution. 

Ubuntu is a scalable solution.

The initial setup is absolutely straightforward. 

There are no costs associated with Ubuntu. 

Ubuntu is rather stable, simple to deploy, stable, and well supported by an open-source community. I would recommend it as a possible alternative to Windows for those looking to avoid the cost associated with that operating system. It is definitely a cost-effective alternative for private usage.

We use the solution as a desktop appliance.

I like that the solution is stable and easy to manage.

As I use Debian with KDE and love it more than Ubuntu, I choose to rate Ubuntu Linux as a nine out of ten, whereas I rank Debian as a ten. This is because I feel Debian have a more stable operating system than Ubuntu Linux. This is my sole reason for this rating. 

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for five years. 

The solution is stable, although I feel Debian, which I use with KDE, to have a more stable operating system than Ubuntu Linux. 

While the scalability can vary, I do feel the solution to be scalable. 

Canonical does not provide us with technical support for the solution. 

I make use of Debian with KDE and feel Debian's operating system to offer more stability than Ubuntu Linux. 

First time installation is very user friendly. It is very easy, even more so than Windows. 

We make use of the solution for our in-house use.

I feel the graphical interface to be very user friendly, as is first time installation. 

I also work in the private sector and have my own company for implementing surveys for reviews and clients. My first suggestion would be to go with open source. We use Proxima and also use uni version in the domain control of it. We use Ubuntu Linux on the client side. So, I strongly recommend using open source and not spending too much money on the licensing with Microsoft.

As all of the applications are usually now on the database, what else does one need? A single operating system consisting of scalability and speed means the person will not have to deal with all the dump stuff that happens behind. Of primary importance is to have a good internet connection and Chrome. For these small jobs, I see no need for use of Windows or Mac. Apple or Microsoft should be used for designing other things. I am referring to Ubuntu and Linux use. 

I rate Ubuntu Linux as a nine out of ten.

We are using Ubuntu Linux as a file management solution.

The solution could improve by being more secure.

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for approximately five years.

Ubuntu Linux could be more stable.

The solution is scalable.

We plan to increase the usage of Ubuntu Linux.

Our engineers have received all the commands for the command prompt they needed by using the online support you can find by using Google. 

We have used Microsoft Windows solutions.

The installation took us approximately two hours.

We have a team of approximately five engineers that do the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

We are not using the licensed version of the solution, we are using the free version.

I rate Ubuntu Linux an eight out of ten.

I use this product on my desktop, it's a basic system for developing applications. Our company is based in the Czech Republic. I'm a systems architect and customer of Ubuntu. 

There is value in the long-time supported LPS distribution and there is an updated version that has recently become available. 

I'd like to see some improvement with the installer in terms of the encryption of the partition regarding software systems. I also had an issue with the swap file when I implemented and that took some time to deploy. 

I've been using this solution for 10 years. 

The solution is stable. 

The initial setup is straightforward and doesn't take much time. I had one issue with the encryption of the application and that took additional time. We have around eight users in the company and we carried out the integration ourselves. 

I'm using the non-supported version which is free. 

I highly recommend this product and rate it 10 out of 10. 

I use Ubuntu for running personal applications.

Ubuntu is free and stable.

I think Ubuntu is not that secure.

I've been using Ubuntu for 10 years or more.

Ubuntu isn't as stable as some solutions.

I've used Windows and macOS before, but I have not switched. I'm trying out Ubuntu right now.

Setting up Ubuntu was relatively easy. It takes about 15 minutes, and I can do it myself.

Machine learning -- create models with Anaconda

Ubuntu is good for machine learning. It's also a good option for any type of application development. Ubuntu has improved a lot over the years in terms of ease of use as well.

Ubuntu could add some additional hardware support.

I've been using Ubuntu for about six years.

Ubuntu's performance and stability have always been good.

I was using macOS previously but I switched to Ubuntu because it's more flexible with hardware (GPU support).  You can run Ubuntu on everything

I would rate Ubuntu nine out of 10. If you are thinking of implementing it, I recommend long-term support LTS versions
