Best OS hands down
What do you like best about the product?
Because it's free and open source. It gets all the security updates from the community and developers. There are numerous add ons and plugins to make your desktop pop.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes if you are using dual boot windows/linux it loses the grub boot loader settings when you perform an update/upgrade. It's quite tedious to get it running again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's really built well for web developers and software developers in general. Multiple desktops allow you to work on multiple projects at the same time. Switching from one project to another and having all the associated material ready to go helps a lot.
Fast and Free Operating System

It's been almost six years, and I have been associated with this operating system. There are numerous things that I like about it:

4. It has a big community; if you are facing any issue in between, they are ready to help you anytime.

It's a bit tedious to handle when coming to a new user, but once you get used to it, you won't want to let go of it. Aside from this, switching to Ubuntu was one of my finest choices.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu supports me in my daily tasks, including intense coding and debugging hours. It grants me unhindered access to all of the system's directories. The Ubuntu terminal serves as a one-stop shop for all of my issues. The interface is speedy every time I run a code and provides the result immediately.
Ubuntu has been the most amazing Windows OS alternative

Great control over processes, security and light weight on resources

A lightweight OS, close to the hardware so that we can use the resources as per our need.

The features that other os provides can be a bit more productive like apple style gestures.

Ubuntu is solving security issues that might occur on windows and since it consumes very less resources, virtual systems can run on it smoothly.
One of the most polished Linux distribution

It provides a stable platform on which to run linux workloads

Sleek functioning, small size, free of cost and easy to use for an entrant into the world of Linux.

Not too many business softwares- equivalent of word, powerpoint, photoshop etc.

Ubuntu server > Windows server
What do you like best about the product?
I like that with Ubuntu, I can get the standard environment of Linux along with some user interface too.

Ubuntu a great OS
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is very similar to Rehdat Linux, and commands are straightforward like any other Linux. The main attraction towards Ubuntu is its freeware license. Earlier we were on Windows server and then we plan to move it to linux, then idea came up to our mind is to switch to ubuntu and if things goes well then we can go for Oracle Redhat Linux. But we are soo comfortable using ubuntu that we dont want to switch to any other OS.
Security wise its superb. Support is also very nice. Even we can get troubleshooting commands of ubuntu while searching it on any engine.

What do you dislike about the product?
As of now, Ubuntu is fulfilling all our criteria and we have achieved more than what we thought so we dont have any dislikes about this product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Earlier we were on Windows server and then we desperately want to migrate to linux. Then idea came up to our mind and we switch it to ubuntu and in our initial days we thought if things goes well then we can further migrate it Oracle Linux. But we are soo comfortable using ubuntu that we dont want to switch to any other OS.
In wndows there were many security concerns which were fixed in Ubuntu. And if we will talk about performance, then its way better than windows

OS of choice for experimental servers.
What do you like best about the product?
A well-maintained linux distro that handles all the traditional server elements easily and without any extra effort. When working on our experimental server software, we don't have to worry about a package we need not being available or compatible.
What do you dislike about the product?
Being open source, and adding the packages you need can create security vulnerabilities, especially if you lose track of all the packages in use so you don't eventually realize you are still using something with a known issue that could have been removed or secured. It can also be challenging to teach someone else to use with no GUI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Ubuntu for the experimental server gives us more control and the capacity to modify the operating system itself as needed easily. The cost (or lack of) also makes it easy to install on any new or existing equipment.
