Ubuntu Linux Reviews

The OS functionalities, stability, security and the freedom to customize it.

I use Ubuntu only at home, so it has not changed how I use the PC.

Ubuntu is on its way for big changes. The transition from the desktop environment Unity7 to Unity8 is in progress. So, I prefer to wait until Unity8 is released to answer this question.

I've used it since it was first released in October 2004.

With a little attention to the hardware compatibility, all is OK.

No. Linux in general is a very stable OS. I use only the LTS releases of Ubuntu that are more stable than the others.

At home I don't have to scale my system, so no issues.

I don't pay for a customer service, so I can't answer.

I don't pay for a customer service, so I can't answer.

I had used Windows, and I switched to Linux out of curiosity at first, and then for the quality of the OS after.

For me at least it was straightforward. Ubuntu was from the first release an easy distribution to install and use, with a big support from the community.

I have a very valuable tool that costs me nothing and that allows me to do all the things I need. So the ROI for me is very high.

A Linux system is generally free. The GPL License is very clear and in favor of the collaboration.

Not really. For me, ten years ago the options were only two; stay with Windows or change to Linux.

Don't be afraid. Try it, it's free, you can try it on your PC without installing it, and there is a big community of users for the primary support.

I use this product on my desktop, it's a basic system for developing applications. Our company is based in the Czech Republic. I'm a systems architect and customer of Ubuntu. 

There is value in the long-time supported LPS distribution and there is an updated version that has recently become available. 

I'd like to see some improvement with the installer in terms of the encryption of the partition regarding software systems. I also had an issue with the swap file when I implemented and that took some time to deploy. 

I've been using this solution for 10 years. 

The solution is stable. 

The initial setup is straightforward and doesn't take much time. I had one issue with the encryption of the application and that took additional time. We have around eight users in the company and we carried out the integration ourselves. 

I'm using the non-supported version which is free. 

I highly recommend this product and rate it 10 out of 10. 

I utilize the solution for running my personal applications.

Of value is that the solution is stable, easy to use, has features that are easy to connect to other Linux systems and can be managed and administered.

The solution should have more personal use applications for this platform. 

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for a couple of years.

The solution is stable. 

I do not have experience with technical support. 

Prior to going with the solution, I made use of Red Hat and Enterprise for business purposes. 

The solution is easy to install.

This took an hour. 

Installation can definitely be done on one's own. 

The solution does not come with a licensing fee. 

I am totally satisfied with the product.

I use it only for personal purposes and not in my organization. 

I would definitely recommend the solution to others. 

I rate Ubuntu Linux as a nine out of ten.

I use this solution for running our personal applications and our day-to-day personal use. We install it on our laptops.

We can easily customize the NTS Client code.

We can customize the code ourselves.

Reducing the UA would be very helpful to reduce resource consumption. They need a less resource pack option. Currently, I am using the standard one.

The user interface could be improved.

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for three years.

We were using the latest version.

Ubuntu Linux is a stable operating system.

Ubuntu Linux is a scalable solution.

I have not contacted technical support.

Previously, I was using Windows 7.

The installation was easy. It only takes 15 minutes.

I completed the installation myself. I did not use the help of an integrator or consultant.

There are no licensing fees, it's an open-source solution.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate Ubuntu Linux a nine out of ten.

We use the solution for our Linux servers. 

We use it for file transfer and remote desktop connections.

The solution is very simple.

I like that it doesn't get corrupted as easily as Windows. When it comes to viruses, it's more secure.

Especially on laptops, it doesn't drain much battery.

The solution is straightforward to set up.

It's faster than Windows.

When you talk of some of the flexibility, like you want to install from scratch, Windows is more user-friendly compared to Linux. Linux is more for the more techie people. You have to go through a terminal, a prompt to do some setup, and other things. Windows offers more help for you when you install it.

I've been using the solution for more than five years at this point. 

I haven't gone through scalability. It's more for an individual setup in my case. However, they're supposed to be much faster than Windows.

We only have a couple of people using it in our organization, as most actually use Windows. 

We don't use technical support. We have our own team and we learn as we go on our own.

I've also used Windows. I prefer Linux over Windows. We're doing some testing where we hope that we can put some applications in Linux eventually. We're testing Docker and similar solutions.

It's very similar to Windows 10 in terms of installation. If you're using a desktop, then more or less you can find those commands in Windows Servers as well. However, for Linux, it's a bit more in its own process. Linux is good on its own. The difference with Windows is Windows would require a lot of licensing, and their applications slow down.

When you install it, it's easy. However, there are some applications for which you have to look for help online. There are commands that you can use to be able to install them.

If you compare it to Windows, Windows is basically straightforward. It's easier to install Windows than Unbuntu Linux. When you talk servers, when you talk of workstations, Windows is a bit faster. The way I see it, we do have to do some settings, however, when you're able to run the installation properly, Linux ends up being much faster to run as the boot time is a few seconds faster, and shutdown time is much, much faster.  

Unlike Windows, which you have to pay for, this solution is free for the most part. We don't use it too much and therefore do not incur much of a cost.

Licensing is basically just for some applications. You get licenses if you want them to support you for Linux. For Ubuntu, you don't pay licenses. You pay for the support if you want them to support you.

We may have evaluated other options, however, it was a long time ago. 

For Linux, we're using Ubuntu. We have set up everything using Ubuntu. We do have some servers with Oracle Enterprise Linux. Those are running inside our HP DL380 servers. And then I do have Linux Mint and Elementary OS on my laptop and in my desktop at home.

I use multiple versions of the solution, including 20.04, 18.04, and 16.04.

We do have so many players in the Linux field. You do have Canonical, and they have their own Linux. Then, you have others that are based on Ubuntu. Ubuntu is based on the Debian model. You also have, on the other side, Red Hat and the SUSE Linux, which is IBM Linux. There are different providers, however, the core is almost the same. It's more of the setup that is available for you.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

Ubuntu is mainly required for work services, your domain name services, and internet public-facing services.

It is flexible. It's the best of both worlds.

It's secure.

There is a lot of content available online that can help you, if you have an issue. There is good community support to help you with any issues you may encounter.

There are several manuals online that are free and available to help you.

The repository needs improvement. 

The repository needs to be kept up to date all of the time.

With my previous employment, I have used Ubuntu Linux for approximately five years. 

It is not currently being used but has been used within the last year. 

We were not using the latest version. It was between version 16.4 and 18.4.

It's a stable solution.

I use a mix of different solutions, two of which are Ubuntu Linux and CentOS.

The initial setup is straightforward and it is only ten minutes maximum to deploy.

We have one engineer to maintain this solution. It is not complex. It's something you install, configure, and walk away from.

We did not use a consultant, we completed the installation ourselves.

We don't pay any fees.

I would recommend this solution, and it works quite well.

I would rate Ubuntu Linux a nine out of ten.

• Security - you don't need to worry about viruses and spyware, as the system is built with security in mind and almost nothing can get in at the OS level
• Speed - the system boots up faster, and software loads faster when compared to Windows and Apple environments
• Open Source - There's a lot of software for Ubuntu that is free and without the need of licenses

We save money by avoiding the need for software purchases and upgrades. We also avoid the overhead costs of buying a system or upgrading the hardware since the system works efficiently with the existing hardware.

They need to allow more Windows software to work with Linux, such as 3D games.

I've used it for seven years.

I use Ubuntu for running personal applications.

Ubuntu is free and stable.

I think Ubuntu is not that secure.

I've been using Ubuntu for 10 years or more.

Ubuntu isn't as stable as some solutions.

I've used Windows and macOS before, but I have not switched. I'm trying out Ubuntu right now.

Setting up Ubuntu was relatively easy. It takes about 15 minutes, and I can do it myself.
