Overall Satisfaction with Ubuntu Linux
Ubuntu Linux is used by employees in the organization who have elected to use it over the standard issue Macbooks. It allows us to have a more diverse fleet of devices for different use cases, which is especially useful when testing different platforms to isolate bugs. Users may also have a personal preference for the features provided by Ubuntu over MacOS.
- It's amazingly customizable, from the skin to low-level utilites.
- Ubuntu provides long term support for the OS, allowing a device to be more stable long term.
- Ubuntu isn't as locked down as a basic consumer-level OS.
- Driver support for some specialized hardware can be spotty.
- Some default UI choices are clunky
- Doesn't support certain apps well, even with emulation
- Flexibility for any task
- Full control over OS
- Stability and support over time
- Ubuntu has greatly increased productivity due to the reduction in time wasted updating
- Less time is wasted fighting with the OS
- Ubuntu has a lower cost relative to other choices
Ubuntu Linux gives the user more control over the workings of the computer and provides fewer interruptions to a productive workday. It also does not intrude with long updates constantly for dubious features for a work environment. Long term support also means that the hardware can work for longer in a consistent state.
