"Safe and user-friendly at a price that can't be beaten."

5/5

What do you like best about Ubuntu?

With the now rapid-decline of Windows, Ubuntu is the safe way to freedom.

No keycodes, no BSOD, no subscriptions. Software is open-source, and FREE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ubuntu?

Although it can also be considered a blessing, software updates can pop up at any given time. But it's ok...update will proceed in the background if you want, and 9 times out of 10, you will not have to restart. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ubuntu:

For full benefit, it's recommended that before making the switch, acquire some basic user skills in the Debian Linux genre... mainly in use of "bash" and "sh" shells. The desktop (Gnome) is easy enough to use, but using the shell via a "terminal" window, or via an "ssh" connection is a little more complex, and you will need to know your way around it, when doing administrative jobbies, to keep yourself from damaging the system files.

What problems is Ubuntu solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can set the acquisition of marketing analytics as a background task, and just keep doing everything else that I need to do, without waiting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Secure and Feature-Rich, But Challenging Setup"

3/5

What do you like best about Ubuntu?

I appreciate Ubuntu for its strong security features that ensure my information is well-protected. I also value its capability to help me create systems and complete tasks online efficiently, which is greatly beneficial for my everyday activities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ubuntu?

I found the setup process for Ubuntu very challenging due to complications in the interface. It was difficult because I wasn't familiar with it, making the process tough to manage initially. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
