I wanted all cloud storage at one place. I always look for central integration. A easy software library where I can install the software directly from store. Google drive can be linked to the local storage like a directory, this is the most beautiful feature in Ubuntu. One unique feature is that you can also set keyboard shortcuts using windows function key ans use in Linux based Ubuntu. I just love the speed of booting up. > > **Cons**: There are no cons as of now regarding the quality of software, but I personally feel that we need more themes to decorate the desktop. And biggest issue is file shortcut, unlike other OS, we cannot send files shortcut to desktop. So they need to roll out this feature sooner. > > I was thrilled to use Ubuntu for the first time. At the very beginning, it was very weird for me to learn theory of terminal commands before actually seeing the OS in my hands. But when I actually tried my hands on it, I realised that commands are not compulsory, GUI itself is sufficient to handle our usage. I wanted a file system which has radically faster speed on copy and writing files and folder even on a 3.0 HDD, and Ubuntu impressed me over MS Windows. So, I loved this OS. ----- ### "The nascent challenger to topple Red Hat" — 4.0/5 > **Justin** | *October 16, 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ubuntu now uses the GNOME desktop environment, which is modern and highly effective if you're a keyboard guru like me. Its "Snap" format of distribution-agnostic packages makes it easy to get more up-to-date versions of common software. There's a lot of community support for Ubuntu. > > **Cons**: Ubuntu's "Snap" packages automatically update, and you can't turn this off. That's fine for desktop software but a disaster for server software. Canonical, which commercially sponsors Ubuntu, still doesn't have professional training similar to the RHCSA/RHCE. > > Ubuntu has come a long way over the years. If you look at Linux distribution market shares over the years, you'll see the Red Hat family losing market share to the Debian family - chiefly Ubuntu. When you consider Red Hat's embarrassing missteps with killing CentOS Linux and turning AWX (the open source Ansible Tower upstream) into a Kubernetes-only project, it's not surprising that Ubuntu has risen. Ubuntu is where the industry is heading. ----- ### "Ubuntu stays halfway" — 4.0/5 > **santiago** | *September 12, 2021* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best of Ubuntu are: Easy of use, friendly interface and open source. > > **Cons**: The worst of Ubuntu are: troubled updates sometimes, other linux distributions listen to theirs users, this one does not. > > I use Ubuntu as a second system for some tasks. ----- ### "Become Comfortable With Ubuntu Environment" — 5.0/5 > **Abhishek** | *July 17, 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1. Ubuntu is a very light OS, any Pc with less configuration will support Ubuntu 2. It is very helpful for organization-level work i.e. it has preinstalled software which is required in organizations like schools, colleges, etc. 3. You can customize it with your requirements which is amazing, you can customize your file icons, change how will your system look, and many others. 4. The most important feature of this platform is that it is a secure environment > > **Cons**: 1. It doesn't support headphones and microphones at a single time, only one of them can be used at a time. 2. It mainly has CLI and that's why some people face issues in using it when switching from Windows. 3. There is a brightness issue in Ubuntu Linux 20.10 version. > > My overall experience with Ubuntu is good, through this we can learn the backend of configurations i.e. how manually configurations are done, and how to handle them manually if the software crashes. ----- ### "The better OS - for some purposes" — 5.0/5 > **Rich** | *April 29, 2022* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ubuntu needs less memory. You can install it and use it without payment. It is open source so security flaws are acknowledged promptly, and support communities tend to be honest, and stonewall less than Microsoft. Usually security issues are solved way faster than with Windows. Updates are way faster than Windows. Ubuntu is more stable than Windows, with fewer hangs or crashes and less need to reboot. > > **Cons**: Some hardware devices are not supported, or supported less well, than with Windows. > > Ubuntu is keeping older machines humming productively. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2047040/ubuntu?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2047040/ubuntu) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
