Ubuntu Linux Reviews

I'm using it for a file server and for MySQL servers. Those are my primary uses.

The solution is easy to install and easy to update.

You can scale the solution quite well.

The solution has a bit of a learning curve. It's not too high, however, you do need to understand the solution to deploy it and work with it effectively.

I've used the solution for a while. I've used it extensively in the last 12 months at least, and over the last two years in general.

The stability is mostly pretty good. The only issue with stability was with power knocking out, and therefore I put a UPS on it. That seemed to solve any issues going forward. It doesn't crash or freeze. There are no bugs or glitches. It's quite good now.

Linux offers very good scalability potential. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so.

I just use the solution for personal use. I don't have a big team using it.

I've never used technical support in the past. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are.

While I've been a Mac person since the Mac first came out in 1984, I've added Linux for my server items. I didn't really switch to anything else; I've just added onto what I already do.

It's an operating system and when you install an operating system new, there are all sorts of things you have to go do and go read up on such as how do I do this and how do I do this? For me, it went very, very well, however, it's not something I can do in an afternoon. It took several days to get everything proper. However, it went well so there are no complaints at all in terms of the initial setup.

I can't speak to Unbuntu versus Red Hat or other Linux solutions, however, I am aware that some people use them.

I'm using the solution more for myself. I'm just an end-user. I don't have a business relationship with Linux.

I'm using the latest stable version. If they publish a stable version and then they publish an experimental option, I won't use it. I'll stick with the stable option. 

It's not something that you run on the cloud. It's what's behind cloud services. I've got an Ubuntu machine at home that I use regularly, but it is also my MySQL server and a file server, all in one box.

FileMaker, I know very well and MySQL, I'm learning quickly. Linux, I'm a beginner admin on it. I'm not in a position to make any comments pro or con enough, as I don't know enough about it to make a valid comment.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. I've been very happy with it.

We use the solution for internal application deployment.

Our SmartVista solution is based on Debian Linux, that is really similar to Ubuntu.

Some of the highlighted valuable features are that is based on Linux, configurable, functional, and robust.

Test automation and application maintenance could be improved. 

Better integration between the interface of the software and the operating system itself would be a benefit in the future.

I have been using the solution for 17 years.

The solution is stable, it is based on 20 years of history.

I have found it to be scalable. 

The solution is open source and has no technical support.

Yes, Red Hat 4, SuSe 6.3, . . . .fro the 90s. Because of functionality and easier management

It is a free product.

Since I have been using the solution for a long time I have used many version. Currently, I use 20.04, and previously versions 18.04 and 16.04. I would advise others to trust in open source solutions, they are really configurable and do not give up too early.

I would recommend this product.

I rate Ubuntu Linux an eight out of ten.

I use it for everything. I literally use it for any activity that I would do on a computer. I use it for writing code, browsing the web, shopping, and streaming videos and music. I also use it for graphics editing and testing.

It has definitely improved the way I do things. There are so many people who are paying for products that they could use for free. In addition, there are bugs and issues that I hear about from other companies. With this solution, you can reduce the amount you spend in general on technology. Because Linux runs really well, your tech issues are also minimal, and you have to spend less on tech support. 

There is a lot of freedom and flexibility to install it really quickly. It is just very powerful in the sense that it doesn't take up as many resources to run as some of the other operating systems. It is open source, so it is free. There is no licensing fee. 

There is flexibility and freedom to do whatever you need to do. If you are familiar with the command line, you can jump on the command line and configure almost any part of the operating system that you want. If you are not comfortable with the command line, the graphical user interface has really improved ever since I started using Linux back in high school. It is really very simple to manage your settings and other things.

You can also try out multiple desktop environments. As a matter of fact, on one of my laptops, I have installed five different desktop environments, and I can switch between them. If you don't like one, you can easily just install another one with a few commands, and you have got a whole new desktop right there, whereas, in Microsoft Windows or a Mac, you are just stuck with whatever they give you, and you have to wait until they sell you something else.

Like most Linux systems, they can just keep increasing support in Ubuntu for hardware systems. They can increase the number of drivers so that Ubuntu can work on more hardware. They have been improving greatly, but they can definitely keep doing that.

I have been using this solution for at least four years. I use it every day.

It seems to be really stable for me. The cool thing is that it is a journaled system versus Windows in which a lot of things are written into memory. They've improved on this quite a bit. If your computer crashes in the middle of updates or something like that, you can still easily access and go back to maybe what it was before you tried the update. Another thing that is really cool is that you can upgrade an entire distribution version. You can upgrade from version 18.04 to 20.04.

A lot of web servers are probably running on some version of Linux, such as CentOS, and these web servers sometimes can go on for years without the need to be restarted. They are very resilient.

I am not really sure of a use case for scaling in Ubuntu. It is just an operating system. It is not like adding a server or something like that.

I haven't used technical support at all. I have always used stack overflow.

I was using Windows. I switched to Ubuntu because I was getting more into programming and I wanted something flexible.

With Windows, everything is loaded into memory when the operating system is started. Linux is a journaled system, which means that you actually have all of that RAM available to process applications and run your applications rather than just running the operating system. There are various things that I like about Linux in that regard. If the computer crashes, I literally can recover the documents. I know that this is now happening in Windows systems, but I used to see that a lot more in Linux.

The initial setup was very straightforward. If you have it set up on a bootable USB drive, you just put it in the USB drive and then you can just watch for a few steps. You don't even have to be very tech-savvy in order to install it and set it up. It doesn't take a lot of know-how.

It is open source, so it is free. There is no licensing fee.

I would recommend this solution if you want a good resilient system, flexibility, and control over your operating system. You can upgrade without having to pay or even turning off the computer. You don't need to shut it down and install upgrades. You can literally upgrade to a newer distribution while using the computer for the most part.

I would rate Ubuntu Linux a nine out of ten because there is always room for growth. 

The solution provides digital use for end users. I'm the director of the company and we are customers of Ubuntu. 

Ubuntu has better security and better production in comparison to Microsoft Windows and the hardware performance is better than Microsoft. The best feature of the solution is the auto upgrade operating system we get as a support from Ubuntu. The solution is good on the support level in several aspects; the web server, database management, security management, and viral management. Ubuntu is great on all of these.

The product currently lacks interoperability with other operating systems like Windows. This means that it's not possible to integrate with some of the popular Windows applications  such as accounting, tax, financial accounting and bracket improvement. I'd also like to see a lighter version of this solution. 

I've been using this solution for 15 years. 

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. We are a 15-person team using the product but we have deployed for organizations which have 100+ users. We use a three or four person engineering team for deployment. We plan to increase usage of this product. 

We have hardly needed to contact technical support. The solution has good documentation and a community forum for support.

I've been using Red Hat and CentOS but I'm not comfortable with the operating system. With Ubuntu it was a lot quicker to get better security features or updated versions. 

Initial setup is very straightforward. It takes maybe 10-15 minutes. I carried out the deployment myself. 

We haven't gone for a support subscription. Ubuntu is very reasonably priced for anyone looking to use it. 

I would recommend Ubuntu in preference to Red Hat which has shifted to a very advanced engineering team. Ubuntu is for anyone who wants to start out. It's best to use it on the desktop and server. It's one of the reasons providers like Google and Amazon are giving reviews based on Ubuntu.

I would rate this solution a nine out of 10. 

I use Ubuntu Linux as a workstation to check my emails, to connect to people, to use Teams, to send mails, and to browse everything, similar to how we use Windows.

I use Ubuntu Linux as a replacement for Windows for everything. I use Teams, emails, Zoom, AnyDesk, and UltraViewer on it.

For system administration, I find it useful to connect to my Linux servers directly from the command line, and I create my virtual machines using VMware Workstation.

In terms of security, I am satisfied with Ubuntu Linux and I can rely on its security features more than I can with Windows.

There might be some features or limitations I would want to see improved, but I cannot think of any specific ones right now. It is easy to use.

The booting of Ubuntu Linux should be faster because I only have two minutes when I have calls, so it should complete more quickly.

I have been working with Ubuntu Linux for four years.

I have not faced any challenges with Ubuntu Linux such as integration or any other challenges.

I have not faced any challenges with Ubuntu Linux such as integration or any other challenges.

I have not faced any challenges with Ubuntu Linux such as integration or any other challenges.

I have not used Ubuntu Linux for AI as yet. My total rating for Ubuntu Linux is 9.

We use the product for end-user applications and site management across workstations and servers within our environment.

Ubuntu Linux's most valuable feature is its open-source nature.

There is room for improvement, particularly in the GUI aspect of the product. We encounter issues while accessing GUI compared to Red Hat or CentOS. The simulation tools could be easy to use and facilitate efficient integration with remediation tools similar to Duo on CentOs.

We have been using Ubuntu Linux for six or seven years.

The stability is better than that of other open-source platforms.

We used Red Hat before.

The initial setup is easy.

I recommend user-friendly options like Ubuntu or CentOS for those venturing into Linux for the first time. They provide easier configurations as well. They should also explore Rocky Linux, a free and open-source distribution similar to CentOS. They have a good open-source community. However, sometimes, it isn't easy to find resolutions. This particular area needs improvement.

I rate the product a seven out of ten.

We are using Ubuntu Linux for testing some VMs.

I'm satisfied with Ubuntu Linux, but it's always good to improve on the performance of any product, including this one.

I've been using Ubuntu Linux for two years now.

Ubuntu Linux is a stable system.

Ubuntu Linux is a scalable solution.

The initial setup for this solution took two days, and it is something that can be done by yourself.

I'm not paying anything for the use of Ubuntu Linux.

I've evaluated Red Hat and Windows 10. I'm still using Windows 10, e.g. I'm using it in parallel with Ubuntu Linux.

I'm using the latest version of Ubuntu Linux. I'm satisfied with this operating system.

We have four to five users of this solution within our organization.

I have not contacted the technical support for Ubuntu Linux yet, because I currently don't have any technical issues.

I'm rating Ubuntu Linux seven out of ten.

I use Ubuntu Linux just for testing, e.g. as a workstation. I also use it for running some applications.

Ubuntu Linux is user-friendly. Patching and patch management for the system is also good.

The system is already user-friendly, but what could be improved is its ease of deployment. Its ease of use could also be improved.

I've been using Ubuntu Linux for more than five years.

From a stability perspective, Ubuntu Linux is quite stable. This is the reason I'm using it at home, e.g. for the lab. When I deploy it, it's quite stable, and I don't need to do anything else.

The initial setup for Ubuntu Linux was straightforward.

I implemented the system myself, and it took me less than an hour to deploy it.

The Ubuntu Linux version that I use is free. I just download it, install it on a VM, and that's it. It's because I don't require any support, so I don't need to pay.

I evaluated RedHat and Debian.

I have a personal experience with Ubuntu Linux in virtual machines.

The system can be deployed on-premises or on cloud, and this will depend on the testing required. We usually use the latest version of Ubuntu Linux.

I'm not using the system in a production environment, so its scalability is not something I care about.

I have not contacted technical support for Ubuntu Linux. I fix any issues myself, e.g. I go to their website and find the answers online.

I can certainly recommend Ubuntu Linux to other people who may want to start using it.

I'm rating Ubuntu Linux an eight out of ten.
