"Stable Open-Source Powerhouse with Zero Licensing Costs"

5/5

What do you like best about Ubuntu?

What I value most about Ubuntu is its stability, developer-friendliness and reliable software packages management (apt, Snap). Using this OS as my daily driver makes my work productive and comfortable due to the native Linux terminal, Docker utility and comprehensive documentation. The stability and security of the LTS versions also contribute to a positive experience and simplify work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ubuntu?

In my view, Ubuntu’s main drawback is its heavy reliance on Snap packages, which can result in slower application performance and increased disk usage. Also, while Ubuntu generally offers strong hardware support, certain proprietary applications or specific peripheral devices may still need extra configuration to work properly. Lastly, some professional tools, such as Adobe Creative Suite, along with other Windows-only programs, are not supported natively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In the past, we dealt with steep operating system licensing fees, development environments that were split apart, and system updates that were hard to predict across our infrastructure. By adopting Ubuntu for both server deployment and developer workstations, we moved to a single, dependable, open-source platform backed by predictable Long-Term Support. Today, we can roll out secure, scalable development and production environments with no licensing costs and smooth container integration. The result has been a substantial drop in IT overhead, lower infrastructure expenses, and software delivery pipelines that are faster and more dependable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
