About Ubuntu, I really like its simplicity and how easy it is to use. I’m the kind of person who just wants to get the actual work done, and I don’t want to waste time changing or managing internal technical settings (see Arch and other rolling-release distros). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lately I don't like three things:

- the push for snaps, if I want to use apt or any package manager I should be able to do so (now and in the future)

- the rewrite of some vital tools in rust, completely optional and dangerous

- the 'pay to secure' options. Security is not a product, I don't like ubuntu pro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Ubuntu for coding in Ruby, and it eases the debugging and installation of Ruby applications. It also makes working with tools like Docker easier. I love the integrated terminal and the control it gives over the OS. I like the freedom to change anything you want, unlike other operating systems. The terminal is a huge leap in improvement. The setup is easy and has gotten way easier over the years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that sometimes it has compatibility issues with some graphic cards, making connecting external displays a hassle at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Ubuntu to set up training environments, and I really appreciate its speed and overall optimization. It’s a robust system that consistently supports my work in AI training and blockchain projects. The command-line tools make the experience smooth, and I can easily preinstall the environments I need for my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Installation was of medium difficulty, and I had to rely on an LLM to figure out most of the commands. It is not easy to use if you are not tech savvy as most people are used to a GUI. Although ubuntu has a desktop version, this review is not based on that os. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Ubuntu for development, testing, hardware integration, and deployment because it provides a stable, predictable environment. I appreciate that things don't randomly break after updates, and I feel confident because I know what's happening when I update, install tools, or tweak settings. The development tools just work out of the box, and if something goes wrong, the error messages are actually useful. This predictability reduces my cognitive load as updates and installs behave consistently, so I don't have to worry about surprise breakages or hunt for what changed. The initial setup is straightforward and fast. Installing a standard set of tools and syncing dotfiles is simple, and once documented, new team members can get a usable environment in just a couple of hours.

Hardware support can still be a hit or miss, especially with newer laptops or GPUs. Things usually work, but sometimes you have to dig around for drivers, which breaks the flow. The desktop experience can be tighter. GNOME is clean, but some basic customizations need extensions, and those can break after updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Ubuntu is that it’s free, open-source, and highly customizable, which gives users a lot of control over their system.

Ubuntu is especially helpful because it’s reliable, has strong security features, and works well with a wide range of software and development tools. For me, the biggest upsides are its faster performance and the fact that I experience fewer system crashes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Ubuntu is that some proprietary software and certain hardware drivers aren’t always fully supported right out of the box. It can also come with a learning curve for people who are new to Linux, especially when they need to use the terminal for more advanced tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Ubuntu for my daily development work and other tasks, and it's my default OS on my laptop. It's fast and reliable, and compared to other operating systems, it is the fastest and safest option for me. I love that Ubuntu is compatible with any software or tool I need to use, which makes it versatile. The best part for me is its performance; it's super fast, allowing me to multitask easily. During development, I often use heavy software, and Ubuntu loads things faster, saving me a lot of loading time. I can easily install development tools like VS Code, Android Studio, and emulators for daily use. I recommend Ubuntu 10 out of 10 because it's the best OS at this time.

So far everything works fine. Some minor things like clipboard history that must be allowed without any external software. Also my laptop fingerprint does not work with Ubuntu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I primarily use Ubuntu for coding, testing, and running development tools. I like the flexibility and control that Ubuntu provides. The terminal and package manager make development workflows fast and efficient. Ubuntu solves problems like dependency management, environment setup, and inefficient workflows, allowing me to quickly set up and manage development tools. Along with Ubuntu, I use compilers, debuggers, Git, and virtual machines for development and testing, which integrate well and improve productivity. The setup of Ubuntu was smooth overall, especially for development tools. I would highly recommend Ubuntu for its stability, performance, and strong development support. It’s reliable and efficient.

One downside of Ubuntu is handling certain dependencies and drivers, which can sometimes require manual fixes. Better out-of-the-box support would help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Ubuntu in my day-to-day work as an embedded software developer because it is very user-friendly and a good balance of command interface and GUI, unlike other Linux-based terminals that only have a command-line terminal. It works perfectly fine along with Windows through a virtual machine, and I can use it just like my Windows OS, which is superb. I appreciate that I can keep applications like Visual Studio, browse, maintain my repositories and files, and build software to flash and run on the hardware in the same environment. Managing things through the terminal is more user-friendly, and I have sudo access for managing permissions. Overall, Ubuntu provides a great environment/platform for building embedded software.

There are a few minor issues with Ubuntu. I'd like it if there was an option for auto full-screen mode instead of just offering different size options for users to try different combinations. Also, I experience a lot of pop-up messages, like for upgrades or some kind of failures, which can be annoying. Sometimes, Ubuntu also tends to hang or lag, which could be improved.

Ubuntu is a free, open-source Linux distro that’s known for being user-friendly, stable, and highly customizable. It’s lightweight and runs smoothly even on older hardware, and it also has a massive community that makes it easy to find help and support when you need it. On top of that, it receives regular updates and works well whether you’re coding, running servers, or just using it day to day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Snap can be sluggish, GNOME is a bit heavy, and some folks don’t vibe with Canonical’s corporate angle. Arch is cutting-edge but a bit more hands-on, while distros like Linux Mint (XFCE or MATE) or Pop!_OS are lighter and smoother on older hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ubuntu's performance and stability are what I appreciate most about it. It is a fantastic option for both personal and professional use because it functions flawlessly even on computers with low-end hardware. The system feels strong but light. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some proprietary software and drivers aren’t always available, or they may require extra configuration to get working properly. If you’re coming from another operating system, the learning curve can also feel a bit steep at first, especially while you’re getting used to the new setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
