"The best in class Operating system"
4.5/5

The interface is very simple. The overall system is ultra smooth. All the peripherals are supported out of box as well as the drivers are in working condition. It is easy to integrate with server side applications such as nodeJS and Docker. The customer support is awesome as there is very large community for this operating system.

What do you like best about Ubuntu 18 (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS)?

I am always a fan of Ubuntu. Ubuntu is my favourite Linux distro. It's was my daily driver for a long time. The best thing I like about ubuntu is, by using very less resources it gives great performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ubuntu 18 (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS)?

There is nothing I don't like about ubuntu. If I were to say some disadvantages ..Unlike Windows or Mac some of the flagship application like Adobe , they don't have a Linux version of the applications. So when we are using ubuntu or any other distros, this is the only disadvantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Top operating system for techies or programmers"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Ubuntu 18 (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS)?

I like Ubuntu for the reasons listed below.

1. Port use for the Linux kernel.

2. Cron jobs simplify tasks.

3. The SNAP and APT managers are quite helpful,

4. Real-time patch updates offer a bug-free user experience.

5. Because Linux is a kernel, making little adjustments can be useful.

6. A tidy and orderly interface.

7. Flexible command-line software.

8. The sudo command, which demands administrative rights.

9. The use of processing power.

10. Port use for the Linux kernel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ubuntu 18 (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS)?

I don't like the bullet points below while running Ubuntu.

3. It will be challenging to play Windows games.

4. A small community compared to its competitors.

5. A bit more flexibility in customization would have been nice.

6. There is no fingerprint driver for HP laptops. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some times there are issues with the drivers like for audio, or if you want to connect a printer, windows and mac handle those well, also it has very less games support as compared to others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Solid OS"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Ubuntu 18 (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS)?

As a small web agency offering our clients hosting solutions purely as a convenience, our margins are very small. Being a free OS Ubuntu is a great option for us, that's not only free but also rock solid and relatively secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ubuntu 18 (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS)?

Certain aspects can be a little difficult to setup and administer but then it is a complex solution and shouldn't be taken on by a non-experienced person when it is being used as a server open to the outside world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4.5/5
What do you like best about Ubuntu 18 (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS)?

"A Lovely OS for developers"
5/5
What do you like best about Ubuntu 18 (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS)?

I first started using Ubuntu on my laptop with Ubuntu 18 version. It was so easy to use and light weight OS of all. I was facing many issues with windows earlier as my laptop is really slow to use then I shifted to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. After that my laptop is so fast and no lags at all. So I really recommend Ubuntu for any people who are facing laptop slowness issues. Also it's easy to shift from windows to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS without any data loss. It also boots up faster than any other OS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ubuntu 18 (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS)?

The only drawback with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is it doesn't have some of the softwares that are available on windows. So to work any of those softwares we don't have any way to use it on Ubuntu 18.04 It would be better if Ubuntu can make something like Windows virtual server to use windows softwares as well.
