Overall Satisfaction with Ubuntu Linux

Ubuntu Linux serves the following purposes for us:
  • It is used on our deployment servers and the severs are used as OSS in multiple departments for deployment.
  • It is used by employees on an individual level for development of applications, as it speeds up the process.
  • It is also used as distro for WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) on individual workstations in case the VM option is not suitable.
  • Process in Ubuntu Linux can be controlled, customized, and monitored so it's easy for expert developers.
  • It is fast and easily scalable if used in conjunction with Docker, so applications that are deployed run fast and are easily scalable.
  • It is open source, so errors are easily addressed and resolved quickly by a huge community of developers.
  • Lots of customization brings complexity with it, so it is hard to ramp up with it. A built-in starter kit should be available for the users when installed.
  • Not as much support for apps as Windows, so its reach should be widened.
  • Debian Linux is better than Ubuntu Linux in terms of stability.
  • Easy deployment
  • Customisable
  • Free and open source
  • Customer satisfaction
  • Quick deliverables
  • Easy maintenance
Ubuntu Linux was preferred over Windows because
  • Lots of customizable options make it easy to control running processes
  • Deployment of applications and micro services is easy when integrated with Docker, and Docker itself is not easy to use with Windows
  • Applications are easily scalable in case of traffic surge or drop
