Very lightweight and easy to configure.

What do you like best about the product?
This is one of the most stable server platforms available today, once you get it up and running it can run on anything from a raspberry pi up to enterprise grade server hardware. Great documentation as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of prebuilt templates from ubuntu, also you need to have a good level of familiarity with the Linux CLI. Not for everyone but with some basic research you can get it up and running in no time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hosting lightweight applications in the cloud, is especially good for something like NGINX or Apache. No bloat, fully customizable and as I mentioned earlier very good documentation via Ubutnu.

Great Desktop OS, Feature rich, easy to install, wide compatibility

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu works with all kinds of Hardware setups and configurations. Ubuntu is able to utilize even older hardware and convert a defunct machine into a powerful usable workstation. Supports drivers for all basic hardware and has a very large community of developers available to find solutions.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface might confuse a few users in the beginning but it is almost the same as Windows now. Ubuntu also has a slight learning curve with App Repositories and the custom app/driver installation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Old hardware which is unable to run the updated version of Windows OS is able to run Ubuntu without any slowdowns/issues.
Ubuntu supports deprecated hardware and doesn't require manual driver installation for commonly used devices.
Cost-saving as old hardware is repurposed and ubuntu has a wide variety of functional useful apps.

Ubuntu or Windows 11 ?

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is based on linux. A lightweight, flexible and compact OS. You need not download and run it on your device, you can use it using a live bootable pen drive and you can use it as plug and play device.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have a lot of pros over cons in ubuntu. Yet there are few things which could've been better. Ubuntu doesn't support windows apps. Even though Linux is used for a different purpose, Creating support to run windows application inbuilt would have been more convenient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu doesn't have a lot of bloatware making it lightweight, Which makes your system fast and lighter for your work the greatest advantage is Ubuntu doesn't get attacked by viruses. Ya, you heard it right virus doesn't attack ubuntu
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have a good grip on terminal, Go with it.

It's very easy to install development-related stuff I just have to do sudo apt install, its lightweight open-source operating system runs smoothly on low-end computers as well, and there is high availability of dev software on the ubuntu app store itself.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have installed this os on many computers on some computers I have experienced some bugs like headphones not working properly, the keyboard not working on the lock screen, and hanging forever on the lock screen after waking up the laptop from sleep. Some softwares are not yet available such as ms office, and no availability for games.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used this os for software development as development is easy on ubuntu as compared to windows due to its terminal which makes it easy to install and use any command-line tools.

We are software developers. We mostly write codes on our machines. Most of our development is deploying server architecture and our servers are also Linux distros, so ubuntu helps us to test our code locally.

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is the most stable distro that i have used. The online community is very active. Its vast archives of Q and A make debugging an issue an absolute breeze.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu environment has developed significantly in the past to take advantage of the GPU cores, but it still lacks the rendering infrastructure compared to windows. This can be improved.

I have been using it for IoT development, coding raspberry 4, Qualcomm chips etc. The OS offers some neat built-in tools that come in handy. Also installing network tools like Wireshark and putty is a breeze.
