Ubuntu
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a Linux distribution, a powerful, versatile, and well-maintained operating system. It is free software licensed and open source, which makes it easy for numerous users to make modifications to adapt to different environments. Ubuntu effectively manages the machine's resources, both main memory and processor, and includes many tools to manage the work environment, such as creating users, setting up a server, and creating groups. To do this, it offers two paths: the intuitive one through GUI and the fast but less intuitive one, command console. Through the update and software center, it is possible to find many very useful open source licensed tools for our system using a search engine.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I don't like about Ubuntu is that learning to manage it through commands requires a lot of study and practice. But it's worth investing time in it to achieve the necessary fluency to perform administrative tasks with ultra speed. Ubuntu also has the drawback of coexisting with the large operating system development companies, and this sometimes causes a lot of commercial software to not have a compatible version with Ubuntu.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu has helped me to get to know a free operating system that appears robust and intuitive in its interface. It does not involve any expense on licenses and it is possible to find many programs available through the software center. Additionally, it works correctly from a virtual machine, so there is no need to actually install it locally.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Knowing Ubuntu is advisable, so as not to close oneself off to the alternatives in commercial operating systems that we have. Ubuntu is free and powerful.
Perfect OS for Development
What do you like best about the product?
I'm now using Ubuntu 18.04 on my PC as the sole operating system. Not only is it free to download, but there are also plenty of free apps and games available, but it also's extremely stable, suffers from no irritating pauses or unexpected crashes, has no peripheral issues, and has a clean attractive interface. It’s a pleasure to use on a daily basis. It never strains, it never annoys.
What do you dislike about the product?
Problems with hardware compatibility (graphics drivers, printers,etc.). Some software like Photoshop and Autocad don't run smoothly here. Also, I have problems with Office suite: Libre Office works as well as Microsoft Office, but when you save your document and send it to a Windows-using friend, it is difficult to expect full compatibility.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Amazing to do my thesis and my academic projects. I also used Ubuntu during my Internship for working on the compy projects.
Ubuntu it's the solution you need for advanced and customizable space of work
What do you like best about the product?
This operative system is the definition for secure, advanced and customizable space for productivity. No need of high requirements to install, no need to be worried about threats because it's one of the most secure systems and with a larger community of support who trust in the red free and open source
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be challenging in the first days and takes a few months to learn.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a tech worker I need it that the company implements more secure system operatives to avoid threats in our internal red and our servers around the world. Also need a space of administration to manage configurations and have a low cost. So this fit with these requirements.
A Linux OS that is edgy enough to be current and just enough behind to be stable.
What do you like best about the product?
Updates and security patches are constantly being provided. Most packages are at the most recent stable versions and problems with out of date software are few. I find that for web servers, Ubuntu always seems to have all the pertinent packages.
What do you dislike about the product?
While there are LTS versions, upgrading between major versions is a bit dicey. I would prefer a distribution that allows for a rolling update process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Open Source Server and desktop software to run line of business apps, appliances and non-critical desktops requiring basic software needs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Like all Linux distros, it really comes down to need and features. I believe that all distros have strengths and none are inferior so the choice or decision is not based on personal beliefs. Choose what is supported and recommended by your app providers.

One of the best operating systems for programmers as well as a regular user. Very lightweight.
What do you like best about the product?
This is the best operating system for machine learning, ethical hacking, cloud, artificial intelligence and lots and lots of other things. I have a company of about 10 employees and we are working of A.I, machine learning and lots of other cutting edge technologies. So Ubuntu helps us achieve what we want. It's light weight nature is not very memory hungry and also not very hard on the processor. Which lets us run more programs in parallel. Other than that it has a very nice terminal and user interface. Linux is considered an Operating system only for programmers but this will not be true for this operating system. Ubuntu undoubtedly is very user friendly and can be used by any kind of user and not only programmers.
What do you dislike about the product?
The open source nature of Ubuntu makes it prone to attacks and hacks. So the developers at Ubuntu could do better with the security. I also recommend making it a little bit more user friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am working with my team on different cutting edge technologies like A.I (Artificial Intelligence) and machine learning. So this light and easy operating system is helping me achieve my targets. It is easily modifiable and there is a lot of support available in different forums which is very helpful.

It is better than other similar Linux Operating Systems available in the market. It's light and way more flexible. It has good user interface as well as a great terminal commands.
