Many windows apps and games are not run on ubutnu. Gaming experience also not smooth as compare to windows. Ubuntu also not have it's own AI system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Ubuntu as my main environment for learning and experimenting with DevOps. It's really helpful because it allows me to install packages quickly using the apt package manager. I also appreciate that I can use Ubuntu-based virtual machines in cloud platforms because they're fast. Ubuntu provides a reliable production-like working environment that supports my development and DevOps experiments effectively. I like its stability and simplicity because that lets me focus on development instead of troubleshooting the OS. It tends to work reliably without crashes, which is fantastic. The installation process is straightforward and guided with clear steps, making it easy to understand. Additionally, I find that it works very well with containerization tools like Docker and Kubernetes, and I also use Ubuntu with GitHub and Git. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

People who are used to Windows OS find it difficult to work with commands initially. Also, in some scenarios, Wi-Fi and other things require manual installations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Ubuntu's stability and ease of use, which make my work smoother and more reliable. Its stable and efficient environment is great for development and programming. Ubuntu supports a wide range of development tools like Git, Python, and Docker, running them smoothly. I appreciate the simple interface that makes it easy to manage tools and settings. The strong open-source community is also a big plus, providing quick solutions, updates, and helpful documentation whenever I need support. The initial setup was easy and straightforward, with essential tools and updates available immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Ubuntu could improve compatibility with certain proprietary software and hardware drivers. Sometimes specific applications or devices require extra configuration to work properly. It would be helpful if Ubuntu provided easier driver installation and better out-of-the-box support for more hardware devices. Improved compatibility with some proprietary applications would also make it more convenient for users who rely on both open-source and commercial software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how stable and reliable Ubuntu is for everyday use. It runs smoothly even on older machines, which is a huge plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One downside I’ve noticed with Ubuntu is that some software and hardware aren’t always fully compatible out of the box. You sometimes have to spend extra time troubleshooting drivers, especially for things like printers or graphics cards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ubuntu OS is awesome, and its hardware compatibility is amazing. The latest version feels very smooth, with an ultra-fluid UI performance that really stands out. It also now has built-in hardware monitoring, which is very good and a nice addition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apps load slowly, and being forced to use apps from Ubuntu’s own store isn’t good. In the latest OS version, there are also annoying system reminders about paid corporate services. The UI has improved, but it now seems to require a lot of resources, especially memory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Ubuntu is its stability, security, and open-source nature. It is user-friendly, lightweight, and works smoothly even on older systems. Ubuntu also has a large software repository, strong community support, and is excellent for programming, development, and learning Linux concepts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about Ubuntu is that some software and games are not fully compatible compared to Windows. Certain drivers and applications can also require extra setup, which may be difficult for beginners. In addition, system updates sometimes change settings or cause minor compatibility issues.

It’s the right distro for someone new to Linux who wants to learn how Linux directories work, how dependencies are handled, and how to use apt and Snap. It’s very simple to download apps/packages along with their dependencies, and it also makes learning Bash easier to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After using Windows OS for a long time, migrating to Ubuntu takes some time to adjust. For any app or package installation, I have to make sure the required dependencies are installed as well. Also, for features like a clipboard holder, I need to install separate apps instead of having those features built in. I also have to keep checking which daemons are running in the background and stop the unnecessary ones from time to time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

I love how Ubuntu makes my computer feel like it's truly mine, unlike Windows which often has forced updates and telemetry I can't control. Ubuntu just sits there and does what I tell it to, and that's worth the switch for me. The performance is fantastic; it feels like a different machine with a snappier boot, and everything seems more responsive. For my personal use—browsing, documents, media, and occasional photo editing—it handles everything without any issues. I really appreciate the customization options. I have a minimal setup with GNOME, extensions, and custom shortcuts, and it only took an afternoon to set up. It stays the way I configured it, without resetting after updates. The lightweight background activity is another thing I love. I have a system monitor and I appreciate seeing almost nothing running except what I opened. The environment's consistency means I’m never fighting with my computer; it's seamless and efficient. Resources go where I need them, making everything feel more accessible and reducing friction with whatever I'm doing. The terminal ecosystem's integration is excellent too, with Git, SSH, and scripting all feeling completely natural. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Updates are the big one. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred a system update is invisible and fine. But that one time — and it does happen — something breaks after an update and you're suddenly debugging instead of doing the thing you actually sat down to do. A kernel update once broke my audio completely. Took me about an hour and a half of forum diving to fix something I didn't break. The out-of-box font rendering and display scaling on HiDPI screens still isn't quite there. On my laptop it needed manual tweaking to look right. On Windows this just works. Small thing but noticeable on a machine you stare at all day. Fractional scaling is technically available but it still feels half-finished. You enable it and suddenly screen tearing appears in places, or certain apps look slightly soft. I ended up just living with 100% scaling because the alternatives all had tradeoffs. Software availability has improved a lot but there are still gaps. A few tools I occasionally need only exist on Windows or Mac. Workarounds exist — Wine, VMs, web versions — but they're workarounds. The answer 'just use the browser version' is fine until it isn't. And the thing I'd most like to see improved is honestly just a better system for communicating what updates are actually doing. Right now it's either a vague list of package names or nothing at all. Something that explains in plain language what changed and what to watch out for would go a long way toward making updates feel less like a small act of faith.

I find Ubuntu easy to use and it gives me fewer issues which means it's more stable and less of a headache compared to other OS. I love that it can run on any low-spec PC because it's lightweight and easy to set up, and its versatility is the best. I really value being able to run different Python versions on different laptops simultaneously using deadsnakes PPAs or pyenv without breaking core OS scripts. Heavy data science libraries like NumPy or Pandas compile instantly because Ubuntu natively includes the necessary C/C++ build tools. The tool I value the most in Ubuntu is the Linux terminal. It eliminates installation errors and is ready for the cloud, offering total control and speed. The native terminal takes away the headaches of setting up software, letting me focus entirely on writing my Python code. It was relatively easy and highly straightforward to set up; just get a USB drive and flash the latest Ubuntu version ISO file from their website using Windows tools like Rufus and follow the easy installation process.

Canonical should optimize the security sandboxing of standard Python IDE Snaps like PyCharm and VS Code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
