Linux has come a long way
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, attractive UI, very user friendly experience. You don't have to be a tech saavy to use a Linux distro anymore. This is as close as Windows and Mac as you can get for free.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unity. I like my old school task bar at the bottom of the screen and windows with borders and fixed action bars. Unity forces you to a Mac like experience which I, after 2 years of use, still don't feel comfortable with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Ubuntu to code.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the jump, it´s a really good alternative to Windows and Mac. Unity is a little bit obnoxious, if you´re a Mac user you´ll get used to it fast.
Ubuntu server is great
What do you like best about the product?
Speed, long term support, online guides from other users showing how to do some stuff.
Overall stability
Overall stability
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't auto cleans the installed kernels, so you may end with no disk space just to discover 10 kernel images filling all the disk
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
General Linux Servers used in virtualized environments (both Xen and VMWare)
Personal and professional use
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Ubuntu since the first versions and it has become a stable and easy to use Linux distribution. The applications can be easily installed via repositories and you don't have to deal compiling you own applications (but you can do it if you want).
What do you dislike about the product?
This operative system has become more stable with every version, but there has been always problems updating from a version to another. This problems don't happen as much as in earlier versions but even with that, for professional use it is very recommended to use the LTS versions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
You have a free operative system, very use to install and use and compatible with a big amount of software.
You know you ubuntu
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Windows like Ubuntu is while still sticking to its linux roots - it's the perfect entryway into Linux for a Windows user. As someone who finally gets how powerful UNIX commands are as well as the demands for UNIX in enterprise settings, I like that they tried to make things easy to find and tamed down the no frill Linux experience into something that has pretty graphics, icons and a cool looking GUI to boot.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having to manually install updates like the latest proprietary graphics drivers to get GPU applications to load faster. Linux in general isn't great for gaming either, but that's a minor flaw to be fixed with a decent emulator.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not having to pay for Windows licenses. Speed for loading Linux servers versus Windows.
The easier linux
What do you like best about the product?
It's now much easier to install and configure Linux
What do you dislike about the product?
nothing for now.
I don't see for the moment.
I don't see for the moment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Ubuntu for GLPI Server
Great solution for the desktop and server user alike
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is the most user friendly Linux platform that I have used. It really is geared toward the novice or new to Linux user but does not placate the advanced user either.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am not a huge fan of the Debian based distributions but this is more of a religious conversation than anything wrong with Ubuntu. The platform is really without complaint.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This provides a Linux based platform that is free to use but has a very large community to seek assistance in. This has helped save dollars in doing deployments of desktops for users.
Ubuntu Review
What do you like best about the product?
Free desktop replacement that can be used on many different types of hardware. I use an HDMI based Intel Stick.
What do you dislike about the product?
A little esoteric for the casual person. Definetly a gateway to Linux. It has come leaps and bounds over its earlier versions but the installs are not as clean as a windows or MAC environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
None
Frequent Ubuntu-er
What do you like best about the product?
The blending of GUI and CMD line interfaces makes it easy to get things done.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of full 32 bit color makes it less attractive than other OS choices.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ubiquity of Ubuntu makes it easy to interface with others and not have OS barriers get in the way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get familiar with Ubuntu now because you will be seeing it more and more in the future.
Easy to install
What do you like best about the product?
When I had been given a computer for free to mess around with, I had decided that I had wanted to install Ubuntu in order to just see if I could. I had set it up quite quickly (or as quickly as installs happen) and if I had any questions, Ubuntu had guided me to where I needed to go. It was definitely user friendly and that was what was important to me at the time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not like that there were not enough programs that would work well with it. Sure, installing a windows emulator did help, however, it would have been nice to not have to have that extra step.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was more for wanting to see if I could install an OS on an outdated machine that was donated. The benefits were that if I did not have an extra windows installer about, I would be able to use Ubuntu as a good alternative.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If one does not have the funding for a windows or apple OS and need to have an operating system, Ubuntu is a rather good one to have as it is easy to install and work with, especially with little training in the OS. I would suggest getting the emulators that are also rather easy to install (or at least the windows one was) to go with as it would make things easier on the person using it.
