"Rock-Solid Performance with RHEL Compatibility"
What do you dislike about Oracle Linux?
Very few study content available on YouTube. When something breaks, we need to rely only on official docs or support.

"Stable, Secure, and Seamless Integration with Oracle Apps"
What do you dislike about Oracle Linux?
Some features are limited without a support subscription, and updates can feel slower compared to other Linux distributions.
It's easy to adjust to this Linux, and it's integration with Oracle Database software and VirtualBox is handy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Honestly, just the price for support services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Having a dedicated operating system that can also be used for free with power of linux is a very exciting combination for database provider for critical business operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing much to complain to be honest, if you go for the free option which is without their support, it is quite a lot you get for the free price tag. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform and software have huge architecture and I appreciate the system presentation and the technology is great. The speed of the system is much better than competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I do not like the high cost. It could integrate better and offer better small enterprise software services etc. Expand the and update software for free would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
To update the kernel Live without having it reboot, which is attractive for business that wants a little downtime. Amazing. You can run graphical Linux apps on Oracle Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It does not claim 100% bug-to-bug compatibility with RHEL. If one wants a support contract, then it is chargeable. Moreover, it uses its own UEK rather than standard one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With Oracle Linux we have a utility ksplice which helps us patch Oracle Linux servers without downtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No downsides found till now to present here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is a cost effective and high performing choice for modern infrastructure or consoling database instances. It is highly reliable, secure, and cloud-ready Operating system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With respect to Operating system I don't have any cons as of now. Sometimes it's hard to get support from Oracle support team and apart from that there are no issues with respect to Oracle Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I personally feel it is much better than Red Hat Linux. It has all the flavors you would expect in a typical Linux distribution. Plus, it's cheaper with better support quality. All the commands are very similar to Red Hat Linux, and they offer it on Oracle Cloud, making it easy to migrate our existing physical servers to Oracle Cloud, which is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is nothing I dislike. The product is good. Sometimes it is hard to get hold of the support team, and we have to escalate the issue to the sales team to get it resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is fast, easy and intuitive to use. If you are using another linux distro on cloud, you should definitely try this one. I was able to get comfortable within a week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Since I use it on the cloud (console), it can be frustrating (like every console). The documentation is awesome and helps with those little issues you face while you are still learning how to use the console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Oracle Linux is one of the best alternatives for CentOS, which was discontinued last year. We can easily convert the existing CentOS workload to Oracle Linux seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't see anything to dislike about the current Oracle Linux OS, which met all production workloads. If the basis support price is reduced, then it would be very competitive in the market; Oracle may consider this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
