Easy to use if you are familiar with OS and general software. Can be faster than any other OS if correctly installed and used. Speed probably is the main advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you are used to other OS then it might be quite difficult to switch to this as there are lots of differences especially if you are a sophisticated user. So the switch from on OS to this can be main painpoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Linux is one of the best operating systems i have used . It is a complex one but for sure a safer one too. The OS has so many advantages for te users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The one major disadvantage of Linux OS is that it is a very complex one and not very user interactive and therefore it requires sepearte attention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that the average everyday user can find, install, learn, and use this OS without TOO much effort. It's certainly something that takes a little time, but I appreciate that for little to no cost (when you consider the value of time) we have this product offered to us. It's a nice change of pace from the standard, run-of-the-mill vanilla software. I see a lot of potentials as this platform continues to grow and develop. It's not something you think about all the time, but the platform we work on has a giant impact on our day-to-day tasks. Picking the right (or wrong) one can either make your day a walk in the park, or else it can slowly but surely chip away at your efficiency and sanity until you are left questioning just where you went wrong.

The biggest downside to this is the feeling that you do have to understand a little bit about what you're doing before you can fully optimize your usage. For example, I wouldn't tell my grandma to go online and install and use this. I probably wouldn't even tell my mom. It does require some level of sophistication, and really to even understand its advantages, you have to have done your research. To that note, I found that before everything clicked I had to do the leg-work and prepare myself. Understanding the features, understanding the help support, understanding what it is that the product is trying to accomplish, and other things like these were the key before I started enjoying my time.

Global pathing makes install software easier, Command Line Interface better than Windows Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not as compatible for a lot of software, so you are in the gaming industry, recommend less. Able to use more software than MacOS so that's a plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Linux OS is somewhat different from other OS providers as it is quite intuitive and easy to navigate through. In addition, wide community forums and discussions allow the users to easily find online help regarding various questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you are used to other OS providers it might look unfamiliar when first time using the Linux OS. However, with time and practice one should find it easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
