A refreshing trade!

What do you like best about the product?
Unlike Windows, this operating system is not gradual over time and the control of procedures could be very efficient, consequently the PC works smoothly. Ubuntu is that operating system. Ubuntu is the main choice for any stage of development from beginner to professional. Anyone can be confident using this.
What do you dislike about the product?
Problems with Samba connectivity. But it's worth investing a lot of time to achieve the important ease of carrying out administrative responsibilities with maximum speed. If you are dual-booting, grub kind of replaces the MBR unless you are being careful and doing it the hard way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is like the tool for creating other equipment that we use to test a low-cost denial-of-service assault tool. It is better for humans working in academia.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend it if you are looking to work with IT, not for regular use anymore, it is tough and not friendly in any way, but if you are used to the era, you won't find any more problems. I guess you might not regret it. Spin it up and try it.

What do you like best about the product?
I liked the Ubuntu reminded me of the Mac user interface
What do you dislike about the product?
It could have used more support for apps and programs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There’s definitely an ease to Ubuntu that you can’t get with windows in my opinion

What do you like best about the product?
It's quick and easy to install, and most packages are made for it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Many packages may be outdated, and for those you must recompile. apt-get is also unnecessarily complicated
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we're using it to test a low-rate denial of service attack tool

A good alternative to SVN and GIT

What do you like best about the product?
Bazaar allows you to create a shared repository for develop code. It's interesting when there are lots of persons developing together.
What do you dislike about the product?
in general it fulfills its function, but it's a bit difficult to maintenance and administration, basically the permissions of the users and the rights with the different branches.
But the main problem of bazaar, is that there are no releases since 2011!!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allow a good service of version control, and allows different developers to work collaborative
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's alternative to GIT a SVN. Maybe now it's not the best option, is without maintenance since 2011

Very useful for work, that's all

What do you like best about the product?
An open source operational system ( free ), a great tool if you work with IT( design, develop), because its very light ( you dont have to use an ultra powerful computer to run it ), simple and different from Windows for example(its really hard to crash).
What do you dislike about the product?
We are all used to Windows so the first touch with Linux can be very strange and hard to use, its interface is not friendly at all and another complaining about Ubuntu is that their drivers are not always up to date so many hardware/software cant be used by this OS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've been using Ubuntu to work with some development, i'm studying System Development and this tool is really useful, its much faster and lighter than Windows
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend it if you're trying to work with IT, not for usual use, its hard and not friendly at all, but if you're used to technology, then you wont find much issues.

Not for all users

What do you like best about the product?
Is easy to use and friendly. You can use this system as the main operative system.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has still problems for gamers. It has bugs on the interface and It can be hard to configure sometimes. The main theme is not the best I saw in Linux
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is nice for programming. If you want a system for working, Ubuntu can be one of the best options for you.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Linux is a world apart. If you want a new operative system, and you are starting as a Linux user, this can be a nice option for you.

The software store and .deb packages are nice. There are a lot of apps that you can install in your Pc and use in UIbuntu
