Ubuntu Linux Reviews

Ubuntu Linux is my operating system for daily use, and because I am related to networking operations, I prefer Linux over Windows. The FortiClient in Windows is very limiting and the IT department most of the time doesn't know how to open certain ports or are very limited in their skills with FortiClient, so I have more freedom to open ports and run some services with it.

One of the best features of Ubuntu Linux is that if I need something, I just download it. Everything I need I could search for on the net and just download it and use it, whereas Windows is more problematic.

Ubuntu Linux's rapid support and extensive documentation are fine to me. Every time I need to do something, I find well-explained documentation about the process, so I have no complaints about the documentation or the info about how to do it.

I always use just the LTS versions of Ubuntu Linux, but I found recently some software that needs the 20.04 version, which is out of the support lifecycle, and those systems are needed by us, causing a problem when I tried to upgrade. The systems stopped working and it was a disaster, as they support the LTS but the old ones, and when I need to update some packages, they are out of the support system support cycle.

I have used Ubuntu Linux for maybe 12 years.

I have never rated the support or customer service of Ubuntu Linux as I have never used it.

Positive

My experience with the pricing for Ubuntu Linux is that I always use the free version, so I never paid for any installations or support.

I have not used Ubuntu Linux's cloud-init capabilities for configuring or managing instances in cloud environments.

I don't know of any things that could be better with Ubuntu Linux, as everything works fine.

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Ubuntu Linux a 10 plus.

On-premises

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

I use it for self-service applications, containerization, security, and backup. There are so many use cases; I can't mention everything.

I find the terminal valuable for pasting some commands and using some software as well. It's probably called a terminal and shell environment.

There's nothing more to improve. I would just continue developing the functionality that is already implemented, maybe with more graphical implementation inside the OS. 

Additionally, a more secure implementation would be good.

I have used it for many years, maybe ten-plus.

There were stability issues at specific times.

Scalability is not key, however, I have to practice using it correctly.

I have also used macOS, Windows 2, Windows Server, Fedora, and many more. I find it more efficient than other systems, but I have to do what I want to do myself.

Initially, there was nothing complicated. It's easy since I have many years of experience with it. However, if I were a beginner with Linux, it could be completely disruptive compared to Windows. So, I would have to spend some time practicing with Linux to understand how it works and how I can accomplish the same tasks compared to Windows. Maybe one month, at least.

The setup cost is free.

Overall, I rate this solution ten out of ten.

I have been using Ubuntu Linux as the primary operating system for our developers and many people we work with.

Ubuntu Linux is the most secure option on the market. For business-focused people, a Mac is preferred, but for developers, Ubuntu Linux is better. Ubuntu Linux's good desktop experience makes it easy to use even if you are not comfortable using the command line. It has excellent integration with development tools, including CI/CD and Atlassian products. Most of our code development occurs on Ubuntu Linux, and it integrates deeply with development pipelines, making it straightforward to manage. Additionally, Ubuntu Linux's parent company provides canonical pipelining for machine learning, ensuring compatibility and efficiency.

In the past, OpenOffice was a pain point on the Ubuntu Linux side, but now, because everything has moved to online platforms like Google Cloud or Microsoft Cloud, it's not a problem anymore.

I have been working with Ubuntu Linux for approximately fifteen years.

Ubuntu Linux is very stable. It works as expected without any major issues.

I have not contacted Ubuntu Linux directly. We had some communication through a customer where the canonical product was considered for machine learning, but not directly.

Neutral

We are a no Windows company, using Mac or Ubuntu Linux only.

I have deployed Ubuntu Linux hundreds of times. It can take from an hour to a few days depending on the server. However, scaling is straightforward without any issues.

Keep my review anonymous. I rate Ubuntu Linux as a ten out of ten; it's a perfect tool with no issues. The overall solution is rated ten out of ten.

On-premises

We use Ubuntu Linux to manage various services, such as installing software like Python, PHP, and other server-side applications. Additionally, we install .NET and web applications using PHP, NGINX, and MySQL.

Ubuntu Linux stands out compared to others in terms of performance. Its smooth operation and ease of use make it a preferred choice for many users. With Ubuntu, managing tasks and troubleshooting errors is straightforward thanks to its user-friendly interface and comprehensive error alerting system. Ubuntu is an open-source platform that allows easy access to error logs, making identifying and addressing issues simple.

Ubuntu Linux is good for one to two years. We can easily identify the line numbers and everything we could be able to see. Additionally, we have stable and standard paths for root directories, so we can easily remember those folder setups.

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for six years. We are using the V18.04 and V20.04 of the solution.

We haven't experienced any downtime till today. I rate the solution's stability a ten out of ten.

The solution is scalable. We are using ECS for our backend, running ECS instances exclusively. Depending on the task requirements, we can easily scale up without limitations.
Around 15k users are using this solution. It is on autoscaling. We are maintaining load balancer. Whenever it writes automatically, it will spin up additional added sources.

The initial setup is simple and takes 10-15 minutes to complete. We can do it by simple commands. When writing a simple ML file, we can employ uncomplicated syntax. With Docker Hub, we can readily retrieve this operating system, and through simple commands, installation can be automated, upgrading to the latest version seamlessly.

The solution is in the dedicated hosting. We spin up training instances by writing simple comments.

The product is free of cost.

Typically, we disable automatic updates for production services. However, we enable auto-updates on our side in development environments. Even for free servers, we do not allow automatic upgrades for any new changes. This is because it may take some time to reflect, and sometimes the server fails health checks.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I have used the solution for creating databases. 

It has a good support system for loading databases. 

The support can be improved. 

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for a year. 

It is a stable solution. 

It is a scalable solution.

The initial setup is straightforward. 

I would rate the overall solution a nine out of ten. 

On-premises

We use Ubuntu Linux as an operating system for the installations we do on any of the servers. It's an open-source solution that is easy to customize.

Ubuntu Linux has good security features and a lot of software compatibility. Not many operating systems support software like MicroStrategy, but Ubuntu Linux is quite flexible and provides all the interfaces and compatibility for different software.

Ubuntu Linux is not easy to use because its interface is quite tricky. People with a Windows background may not find the solution's user interface user-friendly.

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for three years.

Ubuntu Linux is a stable solution.

Ubuntu Linux is a scalable solution. Around 50 users are using the solution in our organization.

We were previously using Windows. We switched to Ubuntu Linux because it was flexible and secure.

The solution's initial installation is difficult, and you would need a Linux administrator.

Ubuntu Linux is an open-source operating system.

We are using the cloud version of Ubuntu Linux. Users can choose Ubuntu Linux if they have a vast environment and want a secure and scalable operating system.

Overall, I rate Ubuntu Linux a nine out of ten.

We can use the solution for browsing. We can also use it as a server and deploy and configure it as a file or web server. The use case depends on the user. I use it to deploy something which I want to test out. If I have to test out ELK Stack, I might use Ubuntu because it’s free.

The GUI is user-friendly.

The solution must provide more integrations.

I have been using the solution from time to time whenever I require it.

I rate the tool’s stability a nine out of ten.

I am using the solution for my personal needs. It is possible to increase the number of users depending on who uses it.

I have used Windows. I use Ubuntu only for testing purposes. Some things can only be tested on Linux.

The initial setup is straightforward. It takes 15 to 30 minutes to deploy the OS. The product can be used on the cloud as well. However, I have deployed it on my own laptop.

I deployed the solution myself. We have to follow the standard OS deployment process to deploy the tool. We do not need any consultation. We might need a live CD, or we can download the image from the Internet. We can boot from the USB and just follow the instructions. It will be deployed.

There is no licensing cost for the product.

Ubuntu improves its products every year. Earlier, the GUI was not good, so Ubuntu improved it. They have removed the complexity of the software. My recommendation depends on people’s use cases. If someone wants to test something that is more stable on Ubuntu, they can use the solution. They can use other Linux flavors like Red Hat, too. Overall, I rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten.
