A great solution for personal and business information systems
What do you like best about the product?
Besides the price tag (free), Ubuntu gives a lot of flexibility for home and business use. It also does not require top-of-the-line hardware to function well. Most of my equipment has Ubuntu loaded on it.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really isn't anything I dislike about Ubuntu Server. However, the Unify UI (default) in Ubuntu desktop is still a sore spot for me. I generally remove it and switch to Mate or Cinnamon shortly after installing the OS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I primarily use Ubuntu Server. Currently I run three: a front-end web server for a local guestbook program that tracks attendance for a lab I manage, a database server to replicate the data stored on server A, and a SMB file server at home with an OwnCloud front-end and OpenVPN.
Linux related App. Docker development environment.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy and free to use. Lots of third-parties supported.

Always meet the network connection issue each time try to install new different LTS versions. The DNS or ethernet default settings not convenience as Mac or Windows.

Use docker to develop different platforms support App, special for the arm.
I use it as a backup for a server running on Linux Red Hat.

easy to install, recognizes almost all the drivers of the devices, graphical presentation almost the same as Windows,

to install applications you have to do it with command lines, and many need other plugins that you have to search for on the web, it is not practical and inflexible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
By utilizing old equipment that is in good condition and without spending on licenses, since it is completely free, it comes with OpenOffice for handling spreadsheets, text, and presentations, among others.

Awesome OS to use

Updates are annoying sometimes as frequently it asks for installing updates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Using Ubuntu Operating System
What do you like best about the product?
I am not a fan of Ubuntu, so there is nothing that I particularly prefer about Ubuntu that I can't get on a Mac or Windows machine. However, many features make it easier to use a Linux box in a way that is similar to Windows Desktop.
What do you dislike about the product?
You have to use command line for most commands. It is more primitive than other operating systems in my opinion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a biomedical researcher that builds mathematical models of biological processes, and sometimes I need to use a Linux machine for its increased computing power. Benefits of Ubuntu systems are primarily increased simulation speed and not tying up my personal desktop and laptop to run simulations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are using a Linux machine for its computing power but are used to Windows or Mac operating systems, Ubuntu is the way to go. It is a good mediator for new users.
Review for Ubuntu
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is very sleek and intuitive. The terminal and command line are also super intuitive and easy to use. It is completely free and the support is good and free. Very stable OS. I use it with Virtual Box on Windows 10 and it is very easy to set up and use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The security system is a bit crazy. You need to enter your username and password a lot of times every time you want to download a new package, even after you've logged in. There are a lot of rapid changes and upgrades.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coding and compiling software on the same operating system throughout the entire company.
Ubuntu is a great alternative OS!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I can run Ubuntu off of a flash drive or install it as a complete operating system. It's a great alternative to other more popular operating systems available, because it runs off the Linux system and seldom allows viruses.
What do you dislike about the product?
The GUI is a bit clunky, and there's a bit of a learning curve, but once you get used to it, Ubuntu works really well! Additionally, Ubuntu does not include all the standard programs one is accustomed to using on Windows, but the ability to add similar programs is improving.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've had my Window OS computer systems freeze up due to issues, viruses, etc. Consequently, I've found it convenient to have a computer with an installed version of Ubuntu, for emergency purposes. Additionally, using a flash drive, I can run Ubuntu from the flash drive without installing it on my affected computer, and use it to find and delete any virus/infected files on the hard drive. It's really amazing!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu is easy to use, once you immerse yourself. They have made this OS similar to Windows, but without all the headaches that come with the potential for viruses. If you're looking for a quality OS that, for the most part, will allow you to utilize programs (like Word, pdf documents, spreadsheets, graphic imaging, etc.) similar to what you use on your Windows system, this would make a great option! Oh - and it's FREE!
Ubuntu is the best open source of Lunux
What do you like best about the product?
The commercial controlling the community. Open source and highly customizable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Problem with hardware compatibility. There is some problem with running Office suite.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is easy to find tech support and to share documents, applications with others.
Great for people who are not familiar with GNU/Linux Distros
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about any open source software is the freedom that you get from open source software. You are not tied into any proprietary software or systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
I tend to opt for more bare bones distributions such as arch Linux. These work better if you want and know how to maintain the system properly. Ubuntu is great if you want it to "just work"
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apart from the freedom it gives, there is also cost benefits. No paid upgrades, hardware works faster and for longer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a shot in a virtual machine if you get a chance but bare in mind that in a virtual machine it will run more slowly than it would if installed properly
