Ubuntu - The Human OS
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu, founded by Mark Shuttleworth - sticks on to its motto. It is open source and free as well. Though the OS has a base from the Debian OS - founded by the late Ian Murdock, Ubuntu is more famous than Debian. Thanks to its easy installer, ease of use with respect to UI and lot more.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu OS is heavy loaded. Though there are different variants of the OS, I feel that Ubuntu takes loads of memory and sometimes the OS gets slow even for a high end laptop.
Also another point that I dislike is that for few hardware devices, the device works great only if the proprietary device driver is installed. Or else it would not work great.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am currently doing my PhD using a HP laptop and am currently doing research on RSs. The OS works fine on my laptop and for my work as well. I can use my laptop freely - free as in beer with this OS. I need not worry about OS licences and stuff like that. I use ubuntu OS with only FOSS.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Linux and Ubuntu is great to use. The only problem that people face while using or switching to Linux is that - they are afraid of a new OS. They are always afraid of using a new platform to work on. Basically we are addicted to one single OS and one single platform. We have used the OS is so much, change is something that people wont like immediately. Try to change and see the difference.

Ubuntu a great free operating system
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Ubuntu is that it is completely free, not only the operating system but also its applications, which are hosted in the repositories of ubuntu, these repositories are not simple hosting servers also provide security to the user knowing that all these applications they are reviewed by the ubuntu team so they can be installed without fear of encountering a Trojan or virus.
Another aspect that I love about Ubuntu is its interface, in the latest version it has been greatly improved and includes a new icon pack much more beautiful and with new icons available for all applications. Also this interface is easily modified for those people who do not like the theme by default, through the options menu you can configure not only the theme but the wallpaper, the screensaver, the fonts etc ...

What do you dislike about the product?
One of the problems of Ubuntu and common in Linux operating systems is the desktop, the community is very divided and there is no standard common to all systems resulting in an OS with a graphical environment with lack of functionalities if compared to Windows, the most current case is Xorg Vs. Wayland which takes a long time but can not reach the old Xorg.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our company the budget is limited so we prefer to use our resources in other aspects more important than in the software, which we consider the least important because using Ubuntu we can perform the same tasks as in Windows so we do not lose anything.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend that to work you use a version of Ubuntu LTS (Long Term Support) since they tend to be more stable and secure, although it is true that the software may be somewhat outdated this is not a problem if we use applications of Snap type, these applications they are packages that contain all the necessary libraries to operate autonomously without making use of operating system libraries.
The No. 1 Linux distro for client endpoints.
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS's new look and feel is a treat to the eyes. The ease of access of all apps. The app store with Snap allows a much more flexible way to install software while keeping our favorite apt commands. It is stable, fast, easy to use, has lots of software and works on most computers as is. But the main reason why I switched from MS OS to Linux is the updates management.
What do you dislike about the product?
The way snap creates multiple partitions for software is not my favorite I must say. Also some issues with alsa drivers might come up using some audio editing software.
But the worst is that you cannot use a bluetooth headset with microphone. That is just the most annoying limitation I've found so far.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am reusing machines that would be otherwise discarded. As a BI Tech Lead, I work with Ubuntu on my day to day. I am not using Windows anymore on my client machine.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learning linux is not difficult at all nowadays, but it requires you to solve the issues and interact with the community as you have no other support. You need to know you machine and what you want to do or not. It's all about being a responsible user. And it is a fun journey.
it is a use full open source operating system
What do you like best about the product?
we can customize os based on our needs. also, it is a great operating system for developers.
What do you dislike about the product?
if we install Ubuntu on our pc we should face a hard time to find suitable drivers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using my own customized ubuntu for mobile applications security testing
Ubuntu
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Ubuntu is, it is totally free and open source. I am using 16.04 Lts version and experience of using this version is far better than 14.04 Lts version and 18.04 version. It has better hardware compatibility other than any operating system present in the market. Anyone can easily install software from software center application. The foremost thing about ubuntu I like is, no virus or malware can harm your system and has better security other than all operating systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
The first thing I dislike in Ubuntu or any Unix and Linux based operating system is, it is not very user-friendly for native users. And the second thing is, it is not well suited for people who play computer games.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As I am an automation software test engineer, I write many test scripts to automate web application and Android application which runs on mock servers. These test scripts require few hours to run on the mock server. So the system should very fast and should not be sluggish in performance because of that test case might fail. It might lead to the poor performance of the test script. So it works way faster than the window operating system which previously I and my whole team members were using. During our testing project, we need much more software like Eclipse for writing test scripts, JDK for the Java programming language, DBeaver for connecting many databases at once Pritunl client for VPN connection, etc. , this software works very fine in this particular Os.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you really want to know about much more about how the operating system works and dive into its functionality you can use this operating system. Although if you are a naive user, you might found some difficulties during initial times. But once you are habituated and comfortable with some widely used commands, you will definitely fall in love with this operating system.
A simple and stable operating system
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a light OS, however it has great potential, it has a large number of tools that can be used for any activity of a domestic or business user, also for computer developers, It has a nice and intuitive graphic interface. Ubuntu is fast, powerful and ideal for low-end computers, since its utilities do not require great resources. Some of the positive features of Ubuntu:
- Allows a personal touch to the desktop and anchoring the dock to the left of the screen instead
- There is an useful activity button and another one for managing virtual desktops.
- The snap application library
- Good starting speed

What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu has few options for customization of the interface, unless you use a external tool, also It has little compatibility to import documents from other operating systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Ubuntu as the main operating system in my work because it is a secure, open source system, so I can make modifications in modules to optimize the analysis of commercial data, manage servers and develop solutions to problems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do not be afraid to try Ubuntu, if you are not sure how to use it as the main operating system you can install it as a secondary system, its installation does not take up almost space and does not interfere with the use of your operating system, you will not regret the freedom, efficiency and the comfort that this distribution of Linux offers you.
Great Linux distro, easy and popular
What do you like best about the product?
It's one of most easy to use Linux distro. Works with modern hardware, APT is available for most of required Software you see around Web (plus snaps), Gnome shell is finally a nice replacement for old Unity. Community is also one of the best, so you can find solutions and even fixes quickly for any issue.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are better alternatives for low performance hardware, sometimes gnome-shell is not the most stable software like old gnome2. And even with a nice support for modern hardware, using proprietary drivers could be easier as sometimes we need to add custom apt or even run binaries and change system file settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've been using Ubuntu as desktop solution, for coding and day to day work, but also for most of docker containers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's one of best distros in the Market, desktop or even server too. Official support works very well for LTS releases, specially for servers since you can get continuously security fixes after years.
and great support in an excellent community that will help you in almost everything that is needed.
What do you like best about the product?
the ease of installation of the programs, a variety of free and free software, has one of the largest linux communities in the world, its constant updates make the operating system evolve ,
It runs on all old and current hardware without problems depending on the need of each one and so that

What do you dislike about the product?
Today I am still dependent on programs that only run on Microsoft Windows and for this reason I have not completely used this system, however I believe that some of this could be a reality using the programs that I use, if it is clear that there are emulators but they still do not work to my needs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we have changed to web servers running on ubuntu which offers us better performance and more robust applications implemented, has benefited us in terms of the cost of software which is free and free which does not generate any expense in the as personal the ease of operating a system that allows you almost everything freely is priceless
