Ubuntu Linux Reviews

We use Ubuntu Linux for deployments, infrastructure tasks, and for our developers. It is currently both on-prem and in the cloud. On-prem, there are a handful of machines and approximately 15 virtual machines in the cloud.

Most of the machines are somewhat tied to development purposes. We use it to host GitLab and an artifact repository. We also use it for mail relay to address some shortcomings in the exchange that we experience.

Ubuntu Linux is also used for Kubernetes and Docker development and production tasks. Most of the use cases of Ubuntu Linux are infrastructure related, with approximately 10 to 15 developers who also use it as a desktop.

For total number of users, there are 150 developers working with this solution and many more that use more specific services that are hosted on Ubuntu.

We plan to deploy a major application which will cater to all our testing and quality assurance people, which runs on Ubuntu on Linux.

The most valuable features of Ubuntu Linux is the reliability, the ease of package management, and the ease of upgrading from one version to the next. 

With Ubuntu Linux you can set it and forget it.  It requires low amount of administrative overhead.

I have certain misgivings about the policy of Ubuntu. They put business related packages into the universe branch of the distribution, which means that they will be upgraded without consideration for the package maintainer. Ubuntu Linux should put more of the applications and modules that are important for enterprise usage into the main branch, so updates could be more reliable.

Ubuntu is putting great efforts into making their platform a great hosting platform for Kubernetes and other related tools, but they are not addressing the challenges with what it takes to run Ubuntu in a large Windows-based environment. I recommend that Ubuntu Linux integrates more into active directory environments when it comes to authentication. There are solutions to make it run, but those are sometimes quite tedious, and it would be beneficial if Ubuntu Linux integrated more for large Windows-based environments.

I have been working with Ubuntu since the first version was released.

The product is stable.

With respect to scalability of Ubuntu Linux, you can use the same version on a machine with one CPU and one gig of RAM, and you could move this machine to a different VM with 64 CPUs and two terabyte of RAM and you just have to start it. Yes, it scales very well

If you scale up the machine, it will be faster almost by the amount that you scale up. It will not be 64 times faster with 64 CPUs, but it'll be like 55 times faster with 64 CPUs than with one.

My background includes working with a variety of Linux and Unix versions ranging from IBM AIX, Oracle Solaris, and RedHat-based Linux Distributions. The environment had all the services that were offered by those machines streamlined in order to run only one distribution. It was a good experience for me, however others in the organization had concerns with running Linux.

The initial setup of Ubuntu Linux is extremely easy. You cannot go wrong with the installation. Of course, you have to know a bit about Linux or Unix in order to know what you're doing.

We implement in-house. I can manage, configure, and upgrade them all together and maintain them with two to three hours per week. That is all that is required to keep them running smoothly.

We do not have any support agreements with Ubuntu, so we are using the free and open source version.

Ubuntu Linux is reliable, has easy package management and is easy to upgrade from one version to the next. Windows can not offer that. Ubuntu's deployments are easy with a very reliable machine, which Windows has shown that they can't do.

If you are considering Ubuntu Linux, don't do it if you don't have knowledge of Linux.

I would rate this solution a 9 out of 10.

I use Ubuntu Linux for program coding and for some security tasks. I practice cybersecurity on it to identify weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

Ubuntu is a very secure and perfect operating system. It's an open-source and free platform, which makes it accessible and useful.

Currently, I'm just practicing with Ubuntu, so I haven't delved deeply enough to give a definitive answer on what needs improvement. However, one thing I've noticed is network connectivity issues where packets are sometimes lost. Also, there are difficulties when using graphical interfaces, but this might be due to my system's limitations.

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for personal use for the last two years.

I have not faced any stability issues, crashes, or downtimes as a personal user.

The initial setup of Ubuntu is simple. It involves booting from a USB, selecting region and time, and then setting up the partitions before the installation process completes.

I have experienced an excellent return on investment from the use of the solution.

There are no payments to be made towards any licensing costs attached to the solution.

I suggest that those planning to use the solution migrate their complete enterprise software to Ubuntu Linux, as it is a really good product.

I rate the overall product a ten out of ten.

I use Ubuntu Linux as my primary operating system on my personal device.

Firstly, it's open source, and secondly, I like its computation speed compared to Windows and other similar features.

Sometimes certain tasks are challenging due to issues with the command-line interface. Users who prefer Windows may find it difficult to transition to Linux. So, I believe Linux could enhance its user interface to make it more user-friendly for a wider range of users.

Therefore, I suggest improving the user interface.

In additional features, I would like to add an additional software store alongside the existing one. Similar to the Microsoft Store, it offers a wide range of software options.

I have been using it since 2016. I am using version 22.0 LTS.

Ubuntu Linux have two types of releases. The first one is LTS (Long Term Support), and they also release short-term support versions every nine months. I mostly prefer the LTS version because they are the most stable.

I have utilized community forums for VMware-related queries.

For the general public, I don't think it's easy because most OS installations are typically handled by engineers or service center guys. So, for non-technical users, it's similar to installing Windows or any other operating system.

Ubuntu Linux is free for personal use, including business use. However, if you require enterprise-level support from their team, you need to pay a subscription fee. Ubuntu offers custom pricing that may vary based on the business requirements.

When I started using it initially, it had better accessibility and speed. I have a low-end laptop with an AMD processor that doesn't work well with Windows. So, I chose Ubuntu Linux as it works efficiently on that device too.

You should give Ubuntu Linux a try. I would give it a ten. It's the best, in my opinion.
