Good overall experience
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a very efficient and customizable OS. As it is open source there is a lot of online support as well, for any issues that you might face. Generally fast and not bloated.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, it doesn’t support the hardware of the laptop you install it on. For example, there were no drivers available for the Dolby Atmos speakers of my Lenovo laptop. These are slight issues with using an open source OS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I had worked with Ubuntu for over a year now, and I used it for most if not all of my tasks related to coding.

Ubuntu Provides a Best-in-Class Operating System
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a stable, secure, and freely available operating system that works efficiently on every computer I have ever tried it on. Not only does it deliver a great desktop for laptops and computers, but it is a fantastic choice for running a server as well. It is my top choice when it comes to operating systems, whether I am using it on a machine locally or running a web-server and other server-side applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have been using Ubuntu since the very first version. There are very few things that I dislike about it. Although it might not be compatible with certain pieces of software I might need to run from time to time (e.g. Windows applications), those instances are very rare, and 99.9% of the time there is an alternative available.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Among other things, my company runs its own Software as a Service (SaaS) product. As one of the best supported Linux operating systems available, and one of the most popular for running a server, Ubuntu is indispensable to my company. Our return on investment has been measured in a relatively short period of time, and selecting Ubuntu has provided us the opportunity to focus on our business, rather than getting tied up in system administration.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do not hesitate to use Ubuntu for your daily use, development needs, and/or operations. It is a great all around operating system that will never leave you dissatisfied.
Ubuntu is a great operating system
What do you like best about the product?
It is open source. In this way, developers can further develop the programs or use parts of other programs for their own programs.
You have already installed many programs from the beginning (pdf viewer, office, image processing, Gaim-ICQ, etc.)
Rights management is significantly better than in Windows. I can share which user can see and change which files.
If I change the important settings where the system could be damaged, I must enter the root password.
You can select new programs from a list and download and install them automatically. It is no longer necessary to search the Internet for possible sources of downloading programs.
The update is automatic for the operating system and all programs installed over the Internet.
Multithreading is more enjoyable. Programs do not block the system so fast.
The 3D desktop is really elegant.
I can use almost all programs.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I knew this operating system thanks to my work colleagues who taught me how it works. At the beginning I had difficulties in understanding how it worked since the initial configuration posed some problems. Today I use it every day improving the performance of my two computers and making my applications work with better performance and capacity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Open operating system that allows a more efficient configuration than conventional software with a large community of users that solve any doubt.

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, excellent support and a large community behind it. Many software systems that support Linux require Ubuntu Linux to run. Also very modern system
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest problem I have with Ubuntu is the lack of backward compatibility with some past versions. Sometimes after a major update past versions may not be supported again and thus if you are using those versions you will stop receiving updates after a while. I suggest you have a good backup policy if you plan to run some production system on Ubuntu or get the LTS system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I basically use Ubuntu to do machine learning with Tensorflow. I have received many benefits in terms of speed and ease of use while doing so. Ubuntu is an excellent Linux system and highly recommended for some kinds of performance computing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're getting into Machine Learning or Linux this the first place you should be looking at. Ubuntu is user-friendly and performance-oriented. It is the open-source contender to the Windows operating system.
