Ubuntu Reviews & Product Details

Ubuntu is significantly faster than windows and consumes much less memory in comparison. I've been using it since my college days(i.e from past 5 years ) and have never faced any issues related to speed or memory usage. It is also easy to install as a dual-boot option and offers extensive community support. As a developer, I find it easier to manage programming languages and versions, as well as install new applications using the terminal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the features are missing and and it can be a bit difficult to use if you are a new user. Also many graphic intensive applications can be challenging to run on Ubuntu, and the biggest problem I've faced with Ubuntu is it's driver's incompatibility, a lot of time the WiFi drivers stopped working unexpectedly.

Even for beginners, the interface is clean, elegant, and easy to use. Ubuntu is based on Debian, so it is very reliable and receives frequent security updates. Apt makes software installation very easy, and Ubuntu supports Snap, Flatpak, and .deb. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some apps via Snap take a long time to open and consume more resources. And you don't always have the option to use another version. For older machines, the "standard" Ubuntu can be a bit heavy. Versions like Xubuntu or Lubuntu are lighter. Proprietary drivers (e.g., Nvidia) sometimes cause headaches. Although it has improved a lot, support can still fail in specific cases.

1. Repository (apt) is updated with new packages which are latest one.

2. Systemctl command is more reliable in Ubuntu 24.04 version compare to Ubuntu 22.

3. Boot time taken in Ubuntu 24.04 is very fast compare to my other OS like Centos and Debian 11.

4. Reboot time taken after any configuration change is quite fast compare to Amazon Linux 2 as I did comparison for both OS and can say that AZ2 takes 2 min 4 sec to re-up the server while ubuntu 24.04 takes 1 min 3 sec compare to AZ2 for re-up. So we can say it saves half of the time.

5. It supports maximum range of lower version of Database i.e. mysql, maria-db.

6. Nginx and Apache both web server functions more smoothly in Ubuntu 24.04 OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. CPU core process utlization is quite high at start up of any web services like nginx and apache2.

2. SWAP space time to use in case of requirement is quite longer as compare to other OS. When I mount swap partition and try to use it but it was available not immediately but it was available after few more minutes post providing mount point.

So this second point is totally comes inder dislike category as it was totally irritating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Ubuntu because it is a secure, stable, and free operating system. Its interface is intuitive, the installation is simple, and there is a large community always willing to help. Additionally, being open source, I can customize and adapt it according to what I need, without worrying about licenses or additional costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I don't like about Ubuntu is that some programs are not compatible and sometimes it can be complicated to find the right drivers for certain devices. Additionally, in environments where systems like Windows predominate, its integration with certain programs or networks may not be as smooth. If you don't maintain a frequency of use, it's easy to forget some commands or configurations. Also, for those coming from other systems, the learning curve can be a challenge, and official support is not as accessible as in other systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how clean and user-friendly it feels, even for people switching from Windows. It’s stable, secure, and doesn’t slow down over time. Plus, the software center and terminal make installing stuff super easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some hardware doesn't play nicely with Ubuntu right out of the box. I’ve had issues with Wi-Fi drivers or printers in the past, which can be frustrating if you’re not tech-savvy. Also, while gaming has improved, it's still not perfect compared to Windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ubuntu is really best for development, weather it is a web application developement or mobile application. I have been using it since last 4 years and it is running so smoothly. Ubuntu has really worked on its look and feel. Since the Gnome 46(ubuntu 24.04) its new look is just fabulous. and the support to more application is just great. One of the best feature I like about ubuntu is its multiple display transition. It is just so smooth allowing filtering the apps on diffrent displays. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it gives problem to mounting of external devices. But that is fixable. If we little commands on terminal and understanding of the ubuntu file system, it is solvable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I usually setup servers to host websites and such, and Ubuntu server just makes that job a breeze, it contains all the normal tools you'd want, and is setup quite fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I honestly don't think I can find anything I particularly dislike about it, it's just plain old ubuntu with no GUI, I would say I'd like to have some sort of web UI available to look at some quick statistics without ssh, but setting that up using external packages isn't hard by any means.

The stability, compatibility, and optimization of resources compared to other platforms. It can be easily implemented in any system, as well as its integration into a variety of options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve tends to be steeper for Windows users. It doesn't have much customer support, although there is a large user community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Open source , Easy to use, Gnome updates . Regular updates , Inbuilt coding platform. Virus free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Become heavier day by day. Loosing smoothness. Eats lots of RAM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything, is a great OS, easy to use, have a lot of drivers ready to go and is extremely secure. Can be afordable to be integrated with many platforms and one develop here can be used along many kind of devices, the implementation will be directly based on one of the many flavors. Good enough to use frequently like main desktop OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As usual in linux, many thing must be done using terminal, I like to use Terminal but I cannot upgrade the ubuntu version without errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
