Ubuntu Review
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Ubuntu often at work for the past 5 years. I really like that it has a built in GUI interface for those times where you don't want to navigate using the command line. I also like that it is compatible with almost every type of neuroimaging software that I need to use at work. I also really like that there is a lot of information available for trouble shooting. Simple internet searches typically provide an instant fix to any error that arises.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I dislike that, in order to get the most functionality out of your computer, you have to use the command line. I also dislike that there isn't a number to call in the instance of something terrible occurring like with apple or windows. 99% of the time this isn't an issue because of all of the online resources available but it may deter users who might need instant fixes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it to process MR data and run statistical analyses. Sometimes, but rarely, I use it to write. I also use it for internet searches because it is much faster than my regular computer. I've also used it to program stimuli for presentation at my former lab at UNLV. We tried to use windows for presentation and data collection but were unable to get the stimuli to display with millisecond precision. Thus, we had to use Ubuntu.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend Ubuntu because it is fast and stable. Any problem that you've encountered is likely online with detailed descriptions of how to fix it. Overall, this is a great open source (and free) software; however I do recommend taking the option to donate to their cause when downloading ,

A Versatile Linux Distribution with a Beautiful User Interface and a Robust Framework
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu has the best online community, documentation and resources hands down. As an average user, if you run into an issue, you are almost always a Google search away from the solution. Even as an advanced user or a developer, you will find plenty of resources online regarding your specific issue. Ubuntu gives you the best of both worlds, by providing an elegant and functional user interfaced, backed by the robustness and versatility of Linux.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Ubuntu generally has the most comprehensive bundle of drivers, occasionally you may find that there is no built-in driver for your specific hardware, which means you have to resort to the community for support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Ubuntu as a fully featured Linux platform for software development. When it comes to developing software, no other platform is as complete as Ubuntu. Additionally, I can always utilize the beautiful user interface for everyday tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ensure your specific hardware platform supports Ubuntu, and what version. For instance while you may be able to install Ubuntu on some versions of ARM, the OS may not recognize peripherals or you may run into issues.
