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.

• 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.

We are planning to use the solution for hosting, but we haven't yet started anything. It is still in the testing phase.

Ubuntu Linux is an easy-to-use solution.

The solution could improve its GUI personalization. The solution's in-built version does not have many applications like File Explorer. Ubuntu Linux is more suitable for new beginners. It would be good if applications could be pre-built into the solution.

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for two to three months.

The solution’s initial setup is easy.

I use Ubuntu Linux free of cost.

Before choosing Ubuntu Linux, I evaluated SUSE. I chose Ubuntu Linux because it has a low maintenance cost.

Overall, I rate Ubuntu Linux an eight out of ten.

I have installed Ubuntu Desktop on my personal laptop. 

Nowadays, you can do everything with a browser, meaning you don't need a vulnerable, fancy solution like Windows for example.

I am aware that they package some versions that are lightweight and are not so process or memory-intensive however, I would like to see an even more lightweight version because I believe it is possible.

I have using Ubuntu for about 15 years and intend to increase my usage.

Ubuntu is very stable, I have zero issues.

I used Windows for a very long time, however my specialty has been on Unix systems.

I did the initial setup on my own. It takes about two hours, unattended, as it takes time to update and download.

I do not pay a licensing fee for this operating system.

I would recommend Ubuntu Linux. If people are scared of Linux machines they don't need to be, it is as simple as Windows. Don't be scared of the fact that it says Linux on the box, it's a desktop in itself.

I would rate Ubuntu Linux an 8 out of 10.

I use Ubuntu mostly for private purposes.

I think Ubuntu's performance is fine and so is its user interface. However, the latter is not as fancy as Microsoft Windows. It could be a bit fancier and easier to use. 

I have used Ubuntu only occasionally. I am not an experienced user. 

Ubuntu is a stable solution. 

Ubuntu is a scalable solution.

The initial setup is absolutely straightforward. 

There are no costs associated with Ubuntu. 

Ubuntu is rather stable, simple to deploy, stable, and well supported by an open-source community. I would recommend it as a possible alternative to Windows for those looking to avoid the cost associated with that operating system. It is definitely a cost-effective alternative for private usage.

We use Ubuntu Linux as an operating system for daily use. We use it for many purposes, for example, supporting, developing, configuring, and scripting.

The solution has high fantastic performance.

Ubuntu Linux could improve by having better documentation because sometimes their documentation is not very good.

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for approximately 10 years.

Ubuntu Linux is stable.

We have 200 people using this solution in my organization.

Ubuntu Linux is easy to install. We already configured it to auto-install for other Linux servers. The process takes not more than 15 minutes.

For the implementation and maintenance of the solution, we have approximately six people.

We are saving money from not having to pay for an operating system that costs our company money because Ubuntu Linux is free to use.

We are using the free and open-sourced version of the solution.

I would recommend this solution to others because it is free and you can save licensing costs.

I rate Ubuntu Linux a ten out of ten.

Our primary use case is for implementing anything that's open source, like a network monitoring tool or anything connected to network, security or vulnerability scanning. It can all be done with Linux. 

The solution is open source and free with a fast OS.

The installation of Ubuntu is somewhat complicated. It requires searching online forums and installation takes time. If there was additional training and documentation available, better support for integration, that would be helpful. The UI could be improved. 

I've been using this solution for over 20 years. 

For business, the initial deployment is straightforward. If additional hard disk is required, then that will be difficult. Deployment took around 20 minutes and I believe we have around 10 users. 

The solution is open source, so no licensing costs.

I recommend this solution if it's appropriate to your needs. 

I rate this product a seven out of 10. 

I am using it for the desktop system. I have its latest version.

It is stable and quite easy to use as compared to other Linux operating systems. They have created a system like Windows. It is simple and without any problems.

When you upgrade the core of this operating system, it can crash. This is the only problem I had. It needs more stable upgrades. 

I have been using this solution for a few years.

For desktop, we don't need it to be scalable. Currently, it is for personal use, and there is only one user.

I have not used their technical support. Ubuntu probably has a lot of documents, but I never had to read something about it. I have used CentOS for dozens of years, so Ubuntu seems simple to me.

We use CentOS for our web servers. 

It is very simple. It took less than half an hour.

Usually, I do it by myself, and it is very simple.

It is free.

I would recommend Ubuntu Linux for other users who want to start using it.

I would rate Ubuntu Linux a 10 out of 10.
