I prefer Ubuntu over Windows for its faster and secure performance, making my experience with the OS smooth, fast, and secure. What I like most about Ubuntu is its simplicity and stability. The UI is clean and easy to navigate, making it accessible for both beginners and advanced users. I really appreciate the security of Ubuntu, especially since the main tasks are done through the terminal, which feels secure and gives the impression of working with advanced technology. The activities overview and dock make managing windows easy, offering a Linux feel similar to MacOS. One feature I find useful is the additional Drivers tool that automatically detects and installs proprietary drivers for NVIDIA GPUs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most of the software is not available on Ubuntu compared to Windows, which is the main drawback. It's tough for professionals to operate because some of the software we like isn't available in Ubuntu. The initial setup was a little challenging, not that easy.

As an AI developer, the development of AI/ML projects and workflows is very smooth. I can install TensorFlow, PyTorch, CUDA drivers, and Docker with simple apt commands, instead of wrestling with dependencies like I used to on Windows. It’s also very lightweight and doesn’t take up too much space. Running multiple Python environments, Docker containers, and background services simultaneously doesn't bog down my system like other OSs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My biggest issue is the lack of software support. Many popular applications and games are built for Windows or Mac, but not for Linux, which means I either have to rely on workarounds like Wine or I simply can’t use them at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ubuntu is very stable and has amazing third-party support. It’s also very easy to install other tools and set up the environment. If I ever need help, in my opinion it has the best community support compared to any other Linux distribution. I’m particularly fond of the GNOME desktop environment, but you can also run it without a GUI on servers to keep things that much snappier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Snap packages feel unnecessarily heavy, and I think it would be better if we had the option to opt out and not use them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ubuntu provides me with modern and more user-friendly software. It's faster and smoother compared to other operating systems. I appreciate its graphics, which are highly intuitive, modern, sleek, and reliable. Ubuntu is reliable, fast, and consistent. I also love the ability to dual operate and how smoothly it integrates with my tasks when I use it for graphic design and playing around with my creativity. The setup process was smooth and a breeze. I prefer Ubuntu for my web server and cloud infrastructure over competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Depending on the machine I'm using it does seem to be a bit slower but I think that could honestly be the machine and not Ubuntu Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Ubuntu as a technology platform and for container testing purposes because it is easy to use and requires minimal CLI commands on the Desktop version. It is highly customizable and lightweight, making it very flexible for testing my projects. Most importantly, I find it secure, and the support coverage for security updates, which I find to be pretty long, makes it a good technical investment to learn. I can easily install and configure container environments, host many applications, and use it for about five years without needing to reinstall the distro because it's stable. Even though learning it can be steep for new users, it's totally worth it. Installing many third-party tools, agents, or even Docker containers is straightforward, and Ubuntu allows for a variety of things to be done. Although initially, partition configuration was difficult, it's now very easy, and anyone can follow the basic steps to make it usable from the beginning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have anything that I dislike about Ubuntu, it's good distro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Ubuntu is that it is open source and highly customizable. In Ubuntu you can do almost anything, from building and installing custom themes to completely changing the look and feel of the system. This freedom allows me to personalize my workspace exactly the way I want. Ubuntu also provides a very smooth and stable experience as a frontend developer. It makes my work easier because I can quickly open, edit, and manage files using the terminal. I can easily give permission, run commands, and control my development environment efficiently.

One thing I dislike about Ubuntu is that sometimes certain applications are not built specifically for Ubuntu. Many applications are primarily made for Windows or macOS, and on Ubuntu they may have limited support or require extra configuration. Another issue I face is memory management when running multiple applications. When I run many frontend microservices and keep several applications open at the same time, the system can become slow or unresponsive. In some cases the laptop freezes and automatically restarts, causing all running applications to close and work to be lost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I love about Ubuntu is its ease of use. It's very easy to get started, everything is smooth. The initial setup is really very easy, the majority of drivers work out of the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I don't like is the Snap package manager. I prefer to use another package manager because it shouldn't be used by default, it is very slow. I would also like Ubuntu to offer more customization and to better manage certain drivers like some headphones (AirPods). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Ubuntu manages RAM, never getting filled even with many applications open. I can open lots of Chrome tabs without any lag, which is really helpful. It also makes the UI and software faster with better RAM management. My work involves a lot of apps and working on containers with Docker, and Ubuntu makes things faster and more efficient for me. The initial setup was quite easy as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I hate when Ubuntu crashes sometimes and I need to restart my PC and I need to reopen everything. And application support is too low. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Ubuntu very easy to use and appreciate its stability. The massive community support makes it much simpler to resolve issues and get assistance when needed. These features help me work more efficiently and enhance my overall user experience a lot. The initial setup was pretty simple due to the availability of lots of support on the internet.

It takes time to boot as it has a slower cold start compared to other systems. It has a lot of forced updates which sometimes do get in the middle of your work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
