SM sai m. Full-stack Developer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/21/2023 "Popularity and Stability" 2/5 What do you like best about Ubuntu? Ubuntu is the most popular linux distro with a stable and reliable experience with their long-term supported versions. it is a well-known and popular distro, has a massive community built around it. Ubuntu has well tested packages in their repositories and offers high software availability Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Ubuntu? Ubuntu pushes its universal packaging format Snaps, which, compared to Flatpaks, are known to be slow and, in some instances, have some performance drawbacks. Ubuntu ships software with some inconsistencies in recent releases. Specific Gnome software shipped with the release had an older version, while certain other apps had a more recent version. Their software store, for example, is a fork of Gnome software, and it falls a few versions behind the upstream Gnome Software. These inconsistencies are reportedly being addressed, and I believe future releases will ship with more recent software by default. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Ubuntu solving and how is that benefiting you? I used Ubuntu as a daily driver Operating system developing software, and it was my first distro where I started learning about Linux.

What problems is Ubuntu solving and how is that benefiting you? First, consider if you want a Linux distribution. Today, Windows is a swiss-knife and maybe you don't need Linux. Then, if you need Linux, before migrating to it, look for every kind of software you need. Not all Windows software is in Linux (although in Linux there is other software that in Windows don't exist). Once you have done all this, don't hesitate and install Ubuntu, it is very easy to use.

No clear concept of repo and branch, in general every branch is a repo and every repo is a branch. You can only use on Launchpad Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Ubuntu: I wouldn't recommend anyone to use Bazaar, use git or mercurial instead as they are truly distributed and are the de-facto standards in the industry. Bazaar gives to the illusion of being distributed but it's like an improved version of SVN. I used it because it was the VCS the company I worked at used, but they've migrated to git.
