1. Repository (apt) is updated with new packages which are latest one.
2. Systemctl command is more reliable in Ubuntu 24.04 version compare to Ubuntu 22.
3. Boot time taken in Ubuntu 24.04 is very fast compare to my other OS like Centos and Debian 11.
4. Reboot time taken after any configuration change is quite fast compare to Amazon Linux 2 as I did comparison for both OS and can say that AZ2 takes 2 min 4 sec to re-up the server while ubuntu 24.04 takes 1 min 3 sec compare to AZ2 for re-up. So we can say it saves half of the time.
5. It supports maximum range of lower version of Database i.e. mysql, maria-db.
6. Nginx and Apache both web server functions more smoothly in Ubuntu 24.04 OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. CPU core process utlization is quite high at start up of any web services like nginx and apache2.
2. SWAP space time to use in case of requirement is quite longer as compare to other OS. When I mount swap partition and try to use it but it was available not immediately but it was available after few more minutes post providing mount point.
So this second point is totally comes inder dislike category as it was totally irritating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ubuntu is really best for development, weather it is a web application developement or mobile application. I have been using it since last 4 years and it is running so smoothly. Ubuntu has really worked on its look and feel. Since the Gnome 46(ubuntu 24.04) its new look is just fabulous. and the support to more application is just great. One of the best feature I like about ubuntu is its multiple display transition. It is just so smooth allowing filtering the apps on diffrent displays. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes it gives problem to mounting of external devices. But that is fixable. If we little commands on terminal and understanding of the ubuntu file system, it is solvable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I usually setup servers to host websites and such, and Ubuntu server just makes that job a breeze, it contains all the normal tools you'd want, and is setup quite fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I honestly don't think I can find anything I particularly dislike about it, it's just plain old ubuntu with no GUI, I would say I'd like to have some sort of web UI available to look at some quick statistics without ssh, but setting that up using external packages isn't hard by any means.

Everything, is a great OS, easy to use, have a lot of drivers ready to go and is extremely secure. Can be afordable to be integrated with many platforms and one develop here can be used along many kind of devices, the implementation will be directly based on one of the many flavors. Good enough to use frequently like main desktop OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As usual in linux, many thing must be done using terminal, I like to use Terminal but I cannot upgrade the ubuntu version without errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a hard core linux user I use ubuntu on daily basis, while creating ec2 servers it is mostly preferred to use any linux distrubution and ubuntu is the go to dirstro that you can count on.
Best thing about ubuntu is it the most stable linux distrubtion out their with regular updates and a vast range of software and hardware support.
The OS is secure and compatible with majority systems. Apart from powerful linux terminal you'll get a strong GUI, hence it is user freindly.
Ubuntu is open source, it has a strong commutiny of developers that develope UI softwares that are compatibel with latest hardware in the market.
Everything in ubuntu is upto dated and it is one of the best choice for software developers out there Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
From a developer perspective when working with legacy code bases the configuration process is so teidious as some of the repositories are miss managed and the solutions are out dated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like best about Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is its blend of performance and usability. The new Flutter-based installer and GNOME 46 desktop make it user-friendly, while the Linux 6.8 kernel ensures robust performance and security. Plus, the long-term support until 2036 offers peace of mind for stability and updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One downside of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is the reliance on Snap packages, which can be slower to launch compared to traditional DEB packages. Additionally, some users might find the frequent updates and changes in the GNOME desktop environment a bit overwhelming. However, these are minor issues in an otherwise solid release.

There is only one thing that I don't like is limition of software available on ubuntu OS. Softwares like arena and Cplex are only available on different platform but not on ubuntu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about ubuntu is it's easy to use and it offers a smooth interface for beginners. As it's an open source so anyone can use it and impliment it. It also provide security by providing frequent updates.
It is easy to integrate as it runs smoothly even on old hardware and it has great customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
