Reliable, open-source OS for developers and everyday use

I love how clean and user-friendly it feels, even for people switching from Windows. It’s stable, secure, and doesn’t slow down over time. Plus, the software center and terminal make installing stuff super easy
What do you dislike about the product?
Some hardware doesn't play nicely with Ubuntu right out of the box. I’ve had issues with Wi-Fi drivers or printers in the past, which can be frustrating if you’re not tech-savvy. Also, while gaming has improved, it's still not perfect compared to Windows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu gives me a stable, secure, and free environment for work and development, without the usual slowdowns or forced updates. It just works.

Sure
What do you like best about the product?
I like Ubuntu because it is a secure, stable, and free operating system. Its interface is intuitive, the installation is simple, and there is a large community that is always willing to help. Additionally, being open-source, I can customize and adapt it according to what I need, without worrying about licenses or additional costs.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I don't like about Ubuntu is that some programs are not compatible and sometimes it can be complicated to find the right drivers for certain devices. Additionally, in environments where systems like Windows predominate, its integration with certain programs or networks may not be as smooth. If you don't maintain a frequency of use, it's easy to forget some commands or configurations. Also, for those coming from other systems, the learning curve can be a challenge, and official support is not as accessible as in other systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu has some issues, such as the lack of compatibility with certain Windows programs, the need to manually install some drivers, and integration with systems that primarily use Windows. At first, it can also be a bit difficult to get used to its operation. However, this helps me explore free alternatives, learn more about hardware and software, and develop skills in Linux, which can be useful for technology topics, QA, or even for my entrepreneurship.
Classy and developer favorite!
What do you like best about the product?
Good integration and with an excellent support. Easy to install apps on it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Somewhat clunky to administer it. A nice UI would have helped.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Primary operating system for me. Helps software development efforts.
Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS User Review
What do you like best about the product?
1. Repository (apt) is updated with new packages which are latest one.
2. Systemctl command is more reliable in Ubuntu 24.04 version compare to Ubuntu 22.
3. Boot time taken in Ubuntu 24.04 is very fast compare to my other OS like Centos and Debian 11.
4. Reboot time taken after any configuration change is quite fast compare to Amazon Linux 2 as I did comparison for both OS and can say that AZ2 takes 2 min 4 sec to re-up the server while ubuntu 24.04 takes 1 min 3 sec compare to AZ2 for re-up. So we can say it saves half of the time.
5. It supports maximum range of lower version of Database i.e. mysql, maria-db.
6. Nginx and Apache both web server functions more smoothly in Ubuntu 24.04 OS.

What do you dislike about the product?
1. CPU core process utlization is quite high at start up of any web services like nginx and apache2.
2. SWAP space time to use in case of requirement is quite longer as compare to other OS. When I mount swap partition and try to use it but it was available not immediately but it was available after few more minutes post providing mount point.
So this second point is totally comes inder dislike category as it was totally irritating.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Latest packages which were not available in default repository are added in default repo in Ubuntu 24.04. Same issue was found in ubuntu 20 and ubuntu 22 version. So this is best benefit in my case. because to get latest package, we need to add manual repo and need to get that package from external repo which is resolved now.
Ubuntu server: A very nice experience
What do you like best about the product?
I usually setup servers to host websites and such, and Ubuntu server just makes that job a breeze, it contains all the normal tools you'd want, and is setup quite fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly don't think I can find anything I particularly dislike about it, it's just plain old ubuntu with no GUI, I would say I'd like to have some sort of web UI available to look at some quick statistics without ssh, but setting that up using external packages isn't hard by any means.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to easily install it on a local server or a vm on azure/aws and quickly setup a hosting server for any web application we develop.
