Fast and secure
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is the first OS which I learned and used in my college. This is the best OS to start journey in IT industry. It is fast as well as secure, also it is the best OS for programmers. It becomes very easy to share the files as it's speed is very fast. Also it just take 40GB space in hard disk for installation of OS. I am currecly using duol boot PC with windows and Ubuntu. It's UI is best and it does not hang just like other OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing which I am expecting from Ubuntu is that it should support more applications as I can not install required applications on Ubuntu. So I have to switch between windows and ubuntu very often due to unavailability of features. Otherwise if I will get all my favorite under one Ubuntu OS, I will permanently shift to Ubuntu.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Ubuntu for programming purpose. Also it is very easy to write scripts and run it. As all the file opener applications are inbuild, there is no efforts required to donwload extra softwares for opening files.
One of The Best Linux Distros'
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu offers many facilities among Linux distribustions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since the advent of WSL, Ubuntu has been more widely used. Support for GUI applications based on Ubuntu in windows will be highly appreciated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use ubuntu for using OpenFoam application and I have been having an amazing experience.
UBUNTU IS the safest and most stable OS but at what cost?
What do you like best about the product?
UBUNTU was the best OS I used because, as advertised, it compiles itself to run on your system and not the other way around: just click "ESC" while booting, and you will actually see it loading and compiling a ton of drivers and stuff to give you the optimal experience your hardware can manage.
The server version can be set up to accept WINDOWS clients and link to a MICROSOFT network environment, and it offers a wide range of variants to choose from.
The best thing is it is virus-free. Programmer boast that if you wish for your computer to catch a virus running UBUNTU, you will have to manually download a virus and install it yourself.

What do you dislike about the product?
Many of the applications I use at my office are WINDOWS compatible, and they are not compatible with UBUNTU. You can try to run WINE, but it's not the same thing.
You can find a counterpart for every software you need, but you cannot share their files unless the recipient has the same software, so yes: compatibility is a big problem, and that's why I stopped using it.
Updates need to be launched manually, and if you did not configure the repositories well, you would not be able to do it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At school, we have many old laptops that cannot run windows smoothly because their hardware is outdated. UBUNTU can run on almost any hardware configuration, which is one of its' major strong points.
Also, WINDOWS sometimes just refuses to access some external storage devices like USB keys or even HARD DRIVES. With UBUNTU, as long as the device is still functional, you can access it and use it.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
UBUNTU is like your private tank: it just keeps going while helping you get the most out of your hardware.
Secure, fast, and dependable, it probably is the best OS out there.
If you do not mind learning other software, it is the solution you need: it's free, available in many versions and distros, and runs on virtually any computer.

Best Open Source Linux Distribution.
What do you like best about the product?
1. It is totally free, which means we do not need to buy a license to use it. We just need to download the Image from the Internet and install it on our PC.
2. It is easy to use and is very much compatible with Linux as well as Windows-based Apps. Apps made just for Windows machines can be run on Ubuntu using some third-party applications such as Wine, etc.
3. Security is never a problem in Ubuntu and users who aren't Tech-savvy need not worry much about being attacked as there are multiple Good and free antiviruses available that are mostly supported by Ubuntu.

If you are thinking about an OS which is Lite and easy to use then just got for Ubuntu ;)
Ubuntu can be setup like Windows and can be easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
It's free, easy to install. Ubuntu runs on older hardware, has a built-in office sweet and is less of a target for hackers.
I find the online community helpful and community support is free.

What do you dislike about the product?
That it has not gotten easy enough for an average user still requires some know-how to get everything set up.
If Ubuntu is going to be mainstream, it needs to become easier for the average person to use. having to run Windows application tHrough WINE and be very difficult to set up and can be buggy.

Faster, Safer, more powerful than WIndows. I am able to use older hardware and still have a fast functional system to manage my network.
I can run native Linux apps that better suit my network management needs.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have some computer know-how and can install Windows, you should be able to install Ubuntu. If you're look for an OS that will install and run well on older hardware, then Ubuntu is for you. If you're looking to set up an older desktop or laptop for email and internet use the Ubuntu is a good choice.
A review of Ubuntu as used for the Oracle VM VirtualBox
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu provides a simple linux platform, that is easily setup (compared to other linux platforms) and accessed from a non linux computer. I am a new linux user, and found this program to be far superior to the few other linux platforms that I tried to work with.
What do you dislike about the product?
I often have errors when starting my virtual machine from Ubuntu. These errors are typically resolved by accepting the error message and just re-pressing the start button multiple times in the VirtualBox environment.
The initial setup was difficult inside the VirtualBox environment, however, there were many resources available to help me setup up Ubuntu. Once I found the proper online manual, it was much easier.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There is no linux functionality built in to my Windows computer, so I am using Ubuntu hosted by Oracle VirtualBox. It is much easier than downloading a virtual linux platform without using Ubuntu - this created a lot of complications on my end and had very little functionality for a brand new linux user. Ubuntu allows me to drag and drop files between my vritual machine and host, copy and paste files, and easily allow programs to run in the virtual environment while working from the host. There are lots of solutions available online for setup and promlem solving with Ubuntu.

Multifunction - Open source Platform

Simple Graphical interface and all applications and tools available. Ubuntu is entirely open source, with a comprehensive software center and sophisticated management console for database support.

What do you dislike about the product?
For those who are not so tech skilled, the learning is tougher. but this can be solved by learning through lessons
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Ubuntu to build software, enter code-data as well as to carry out computer analyzes. one of the most essential features of Ubuntu would be that It is extremely secure, since it is less susceptible to malware.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you learn some of terminal basic codes, becasue without that knowledge you can not get full advantage over ubunut
Best for Dev
What do you like best about the product?
The development-related stuff is developed mainly on Linux-based systems. The ubuntu os is developed using Linux and helps for the development of the application. For example, node.js is one of the best examples for the same.
What do you dislike about the product?
There ate some stuff that can be done using user interfaces but is available via the command line. This stuff can be changed and done via UI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am currently using the ubuntu os for the web development stuff and have realized that npm is faster than other operating systems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please do support the ubuntu operating system for development. It is one of the best OS for development.
