Best WSL till date!
What do you like best about the product?
When I started my ruby on rails journey, I had a windows laptop. But setup of rails required linux based terminal. Windows didn't had it. Seniors told me to use Ubuntu server. I was so much excited to finally develop rails based application using Ubuntu Server. I made it easier for. Later on I installed ubuntu OS itself as WSL is still not fast enough for rails development.
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall, need to improve basic color themes otherwise it's best for it's purpose.

For developing and debugging rails which requires linux based terminal. Ubuntu server had all benefits which windows os is lacking currently

Ubuntu - Linux Operating System distribution
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu has a better advantage than any other Linux distribution . No distribution is better than each other whether it’s fedora , Ubuntu , mint or others . all are equivalent . But Ubuntu has advantages over other Linux distribution , if i compare Fedora with Ubuntu , Fedora a poor choice for product development e.g. embedded systems , people used to say fedora is fast in fixing things but fedora also fast in breaking things . Ubuntu advantage is large based of package with stability which fedora or other do miss it .Ubuntu maintain consistency when it’s about fixing things but others do break things quicker than ubuntu even they fix quick
What do you dislike about the product?
Application or file searching on Ubuntu 17/18.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tried latest stable kernel version in Ubuntu 16. RTLink Wifi driver is added as kernel driver instead of module and made my Ubuntu desktop could work with the WiFi receiver
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu don’t have closed software, but only open and free. Ubuntu maintain consistency when it’s about fixing things.
Choice of package Ubuntu always wins
It’s not about which one is best but ubuntu is user friendly and effective

Amazing OS to work on - A mix of CUI and GUI
What do you like best about the product?
You can use it even on a Celeron Desktop and it works just fine. Faster and much more secure than Windows.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is really good to have a Linux based OS running both CUI and GUI however of all my colleagues, only some prefer a mix of Interfaces.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to write code in. Much more secure than a Windows. Yeah it is somewhat hard to find all the applications for Ubuntu, however it does all that is necessary.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
- Only try to use Ubuntu if you are into Tech and are also Tech Savvy enough to get a hold of all the functionalities. Because there will be some things that you would need a Graphic User Interface for in case you are unable to learn commands.

Ubuntu doesn't support popular middlewares such as cPanel.
Plesk as well is not completely compatible/supported over Ubuntu. Though they have just rolled out their specific version for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS but still have a number of dependencies over specific libraries to make it fully functional.

What do you dislike about the product?
In my case is not easy to use for everyone ,i feel its very complicated to configure and setup the thing, but i never feel comfortable with ubuntu server.
Its very hard to install Other software and latest packages of ubuntu and configuration like samba server, configuration backup server.
If we compare with window server there is also available a lot of feature and provide more supportive GUI to reduce the time to configure backup, local or web server but i feel window server is not secure as compare to ubuntu that way i prefer to configure ubuntu for large or small organization.

Please choose latest release version and make sure that version is according to your needs if you are new better get old version so you will get a lot of help.
Best Free OS with really BIG community
What do you like best about the product?
Free software with a very big community will be helpful, you face the problem somebody out there has faced the problem, do not face a problem with popular app/software.
What do you dislike about the product?
don't trust the newest version in my experience we have always face a big problem such as a blank screen, that is normal because ubuntu is not an exclusive OS to the particular device so much porting needs to be done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
fast os, safer system for deploying tech to the public, support from another big app/software company
Recommendations to others considering the product:
if you are a developer need something free and fast, I think ubuntu is cover so much edge in software development if you want something much simpler go Mac instead. Do you hate terminal? if you nerd you don't just try it and trial and error.
