Verified User Chose Ubuntu So the main reason behind selecting Ubuntu among others was the easy implementation of services in it.

Mauricio E Gleizer CEO in Information Technology at GISMarxev (Computer Software, 1-10 employees) Chose Ubuntu Windows 10: Expensive, with more security problems, more difficult to keep updated and less variety of free / open source applications.

Molloy Instructor in Information Technology at Plum Hill Productions (E-Learning, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Ubuntu We chose Ubuntu largely because of the large user base and because desktop setups can be easy to learn for people used to Windows computers and, of course, other distributions of Linux. Not a single one of the people we work with has had formal education or training with … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Ubuntu I've used other Linux distributions like Debian, Mint, Suse, Slackware, and others. I also ran OpenBSD as my primary OS for more than 3 years.

Verified User Chose Ubuntu Prior to selecting Ubuntu Linux, we looked at CentOS Linux.
