What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is an excellent way to use Linux for beginners. It is better than Windows in speed for programming. It has been around for a long time, which speaks to its quality and usability.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have been using this software since high school computer science class intermittently, and I find it easy to use now, but originally I found it quite difficult to install or understand. With a few years of experience, I find it easier to use.

Ubuntu solves some of the issues with speed that I have with windows. While setting it up makes the process slower, I find that when I need large computing power, I turn to ubuntu.

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is one of the most favorite OS (Operating Systems) based from Linux. It's an opensourse OS (Operating System). I like the Desktop Environment of Ubuntu. Ubuntu supports every smart app (Software or Applications). I can easily operate ubuntu because its UI (User Interface) is so perfect for individual users. I can easily use every programming apps very perfectly, Also. can use many browsers (Google Chrome, Firefox, Chromium, Brave etc.). If I need to use Windows (It's an operating system powered by Microsoft Corporation) based Applications, I can use them on Ubuntu! Because Ubuntu supports cross-platform software using some 3rd party app (Wine). Also, the pre-installed Applications help me a lot. I can create, edit and customize documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and paint using their pre-installed 3rd party Office software. Also, it supports all of the files for computing also supports media files. So it helps me to sort out my every individual work and official business work. Ubuntu is totally free of cost. Also, you can connect their millions of communities and can access the global resources built by ubuntu. It makes your life so easy and comfortable. Also, it secures all of your data because no one has malware or viruses attack Ubuntu (a Linux-based operating system).
What do you dislike about the product?
Actually, I dislike the Extention ecosystem of Ubuntu. Ubuntu is unable to use all of the software. Sometimes need third-party apps to access some software that is based on windows or make OS! Also need to fix some appearance issues for Dark or Light mode. Also need to fix the cross-platform ecosystem. Some apps not working perfectly or not responding.,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Actually, it helps me to sort out daily basic work. I can easily use open-source software. Without paying any organization or company I can use the software I mean the Ubuntu OS! It's very helpful for me to sort out my daily work, docs, presentation, spreadsheet. Overall it's such a great OS!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I wanna share my experience. Ubuntu is such a great OS (Operating Systems). You can easily use Ubuntu and if you wanna shift from another OS, defiantly you most like the Ubuntu OS features and it can help you to give a smooth performance. Also, it helps you to secure everything I mean every file, important media, and your data is protected on Ubuntu.

Ubuntu is a great OS for development.

  • November 07, 2021

I'm running Ubuntu on a VM under Windows and use it for development purposes when my Windows machine is just not cutting it. Ubuntu is helping me to be more productive and accomplish things quickly when it comes to using CLI tools.

Free alternative to macOS when it comes to meeting development needs.
