Best OS for developers
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a very straightforward OS to use. I especially like the flexibility that the terminal offers especially as a Software Developer. It's my go to terminal to use on Windows (bash)! The best use for Ubuntu I've been privy to is the VM and server capabilities. I learned about VMs and their usefulness on Ubuntu and from then, I've been well versed in virtualization.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can take a bit of getting used to, so there is a learning curve to consider when getting into Ubuntu. It helps that I got an introduction to Ubuntu from a young age, but it's not as user-friendly as Windows or macOS. It's more for tech-savvy persons.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu helps you experience the true power of computers because of their flexibility. The most significant benefit of using Ubuntu is having complete customization or building new software because it's easier to manage your dependencies on Ubuntu. You also have bash's powerful scripting capabilities at your fingertips.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I urge everyone to get into Ubuntu if you're serious about computing. From networking to hardware to software, there's nothing you can't do in Ubuntu once it's related to computing.
User Friendly

User friendly and easy to use design and layout.
What do you dislike about the product?

Verify that it has all of the features you need before switching.
Ubuntu is fast and easy to use

What do you dislike about the product?
It consumes bettary as comapre to windows, do not good with gamers.
In order to use ubuntu as a server, the response times are very slow. It takes time to boot up as compare to centos. No doubt centos is really good at booting up.

It has very higher bootup process which takes time to bootup the server and running services on checkconf. Secondly ubuntu heatup the processor which triggers the turbo engine and extra fans.

Ubuntu: everything you could ever need
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is really easy to use, installing software is also very simple. The community is really active, so there's always someone who had Ubuntu-related issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some apps are not available, and alternatives are not as good. That's a problem with linux in general, but ubuntu alleviates it a bit by having support for many applications. The OS is also hard to customize.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most open-source software and development is on Ubuntu. Any developer needs Linux, and Ubuntu is by far the easiest way to have Linux. Ubuntu comes with all the toolchains necessary to write good software.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Know how to manage a disk if using another OS. Otherwise it's well documented
Best in Market for Developers
What do you like best about the product?
The best part about using ubuntu is that you have a user-friendly interface and active websites solving issues or queries of users.
The system is robust compared to all the other operating systems out in the market. I would recommend developers to you it.

What do you dislike about the product?
A new user might get puzzled if he mistakenly changes permissions of files and folders, which might give them nightmares to fix.
You will find solutions on the internet that would be helpful to overcome such common mistakes.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have worked on ubuntu since I started my development career; it's easy to use.
You need to run commands to install pretty much everything.
It saves development costs as it's open-source.

My go-to OS
What do you like best about the product?
Relative to Windows: I get control -- what my OS is doing on my computer, where my files go, how it boots. Everything is actually visible.
Relative to other Linux distros: Well, if you google "How do I do ___ on Linux?" you will probably find answers saying "This is how you do it on Ubuntu".

What do you dislike about the product?
Vanilla Ubuntu is produced by Canonical, which does mean it ships with some of Canonical's "bloat". This is still an order of magnitude less bloat than, say, OS X or Windows, but it's there. If this bothers you, it's relatively easy to scrub; or you could consider another Debian distro, like Mint.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For me personally, it's my everyday work machine. It's hard to compete with it if you're interested in ML, certainly. Other places I've worked also had a lot of toolchains setup on Linux that we specific to Ubuntu.
