What I like best about Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is its stability, reliability, and ease of use. It provides a solid environment for development, server management, and everyday technical work. The large software ecosystem, strong community support, and extensive documentation make it easy to install tools, troubleshoot issues, and maintain systems over time. Ubuntu 20.04 LTS works well with a wide range of tools in my stack, especially development environments, programming languages, databases, Git, containers, and cloud platforms. Most integrations are straightforward because of the large package ecosystem and strong community support. It also works well with command-line and automation tools, which makes it easy to build consistent development and deployment workflows. Occasionally, newer tools require updated dependencies or additional configuration, but overall compatibility is strong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One drawback is that some software packages and dependencies can feel outdated compared with newer Ubuntu releases. Upgrading or configuring certain applications may require additional troubleshooting, and hardware compatibility can occasionally be an issue with newer devices. The interface is generally easy to use, but some settings and system configurations could be more intuitive for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used Ubuntu 20 for a long time on my enterprise software platforms. I works perfectly and it is well fitted for backend services. We mainly use it on headless servers, no UI needed. It works great, and it's free. We migrated to newer Ubuntu versions but still Ubuntu 20 is a power horse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has been superseded by newer versions of Ubuntu so I'd say it is a bit outdated in terms of security or memory optimization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ubuntu is one of the most widely used operating systems for project development by developers worldwide. It is free, open-source, and has a great community of developers contributing to its success. The installation of Ubuntu is easy and it needs very little resource around 20GB to run smoothly on any system. I can install Ubuntu along with other operating systems and can select during startup to boot to any operating system.

There is nothing that can not be done in Ubuntu. I can do competitive programming, project development, and numerous other tasks which can not be done so easily on any other OS.

Previously I was using Ubuntu 18 LTS version, but when Ubuntu 20 LTS was released I initially doubt if I should install it or not. But after listening to positive reviews from developers across the globe I decided to make a switch and this was my best decision so far. Thanks to the community for providing free OS with such great capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am using Ubuntu since my university days and I didn't find any major cons of using it. There are complaints from users regarding its battery consumption which I also think is somewhat true. I recommend everyone to try it once using the try-ubuntu feature which doesn't require installation. But do remember that data loss may happen if you're using the try-ubuntu feature.

I primarily use Ubuntu as my virtual machines running on a server to isolate various software and tasks off of my desktop computer. I like Ubuntu because its easy to use, well maintained. There are also 2 versions, one barebones version that has command line only intended for servers and a full desktop version with a GUI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you are new to linux some things require command line which can be a bit of a learning curve. If the desktop version is sufficient most things can be done via the GUI. Software availability can be hit or miss on linux so you need to ensure what you need is available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's open source, free, flexible, easy to use. It also allows the user to install many windows based applications through WINE. I find Ubuntu and Ubuntu flavored linux distros more intuitive than the Red Hat and SUSE linux distros. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It doesn't always recognize NAS drives natively. Ubuntu 20.04 on an HP gaming laptop with an AMD Ryzen 5 processor is not fully supported. It also does not provide a solid use of a double monitor setup. By default when it goes live, the built-in laptop screen is very dim and I need to push the brightness up every single time. More applications are needed that use the Flatpak distro option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the most salient features of Ubuntu that resonates most deeply with my personal preferences is its remarkable versatility and configurability, which allows users to exercise a considerable degree of granular control over various aspects of the operating system. This unparalleled degree of customization is a crucial factor that sets Ubuntu apart from many of its contemporaries and renders it an ideal choice for users who prioritize flexibility and modularity in their operating systems.
