Powerful Opensource Operating System
Overall Satisfaction with Ubuntu
All of our server side and some of our development machines are running on Ubuntu only. It really provides support to lot of products, languages and tools. The product is open source and their community is very huge which is really helpful incase of any issue, bugs, support and deployment related issue.
Pros
- All our aws machines are running using Ubuntu OS only.
- We use Ubuntu with whenever we need to perform any machine learning model training as it is more compatible with CUDA
- Some of our python based development strictly needs Linux OS and we're using Ubuntu there also
Cons
- there is lot of versioning that we need to manage while installing on ubuntu
- With new version UI is consuming lot of resources, that must be addressed by developers
- there must be an option of customizing what we need and what we not while installing Ubuntu, it's like something between current installation methods provided.
- With Ubuntu we're saving lot of money that we have invested on license of other Operating system
- With Ubuntu our deployment is really very fast
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Fedora Linux and Debian OS
RHEL was licensed product which was denied by lot of our clients as it was increasing the infra cost. With fedora and debian we had lot of issues related to other supporting tools that we were supposed to use for application deployment. Fedora is also consuming lot of memory and there were lot of other things that was getting installed with it and they were exactly not required.
