What do you like best about the product?
I have used Ubuntu in the past in my previous role. It is safe, secure, and works better for testing compared to many other operating systems. It is easy to use once set up, simple to implement, and integrates well with most development and testing tools. Community and documentation support are strong. I used it frequently for testing because it is stable, reliable, and offers a wide range of features needed for day to day technical work.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I specifically dislike, but it can be a bit challenging because not everything can be done with buttons and clicks. You need a basic level of scripting knowledge to work with Ubuntu. That said, for people who enjoy scripting, this actually makes it more powerful and enjoyable to use.

The Snap Store makes installing basic apps super easy, even if you aren’t a computer science person. I also appreciate that Ubuntu has zero advertisements, and the presentable bloatware is minimal. It's light enough while being useful, allowing it to effectively revive old hardware.

Ubuntu: A Developer's Dream OS
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how the terminal on Ubuntu is a first-class citizen, allowing me to do everything from the CLI with powerful text tools like grep, sed, awk, and jq, and it's easy to automate with bash scripts. This makes me work faster than GUI-only workflows, which is huge for debugging, logs, servers, and CI/CD. Ubuntu shines in development because these native tools aren't workarounds and provide great support for programming and SDKs like Node.js, Python, .NET, Java, and more. I appreciate that Ubuntu doesn't try to impress but strives not to break, with Long-Term Support releases and security updates without chaos, which is perfect for long-running services and serious dev work. The ease of using Ubuntu for the same OS in both local development and production, better Docker and CI/CD experiences, and easier backend and cloud deployments are significant advantages for me. Additionally, the simplicity of Ubuntu and the very easy initial setup are definite pluses.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find that battery life on laptops running Ubuntu is often worse than on Windows or macOS. The power profiles aren't always optimal, which is something that could be improved with smarter defaults and better laptop-first tuning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu solves having the same OS for development and production, provides a better Docker and CI/CD experience, and simplifies backend and cloud deployments.
Excellent for Development, Needs Software Support Boost
What do you like best about the product?
I use Ubuntu for development and server-related tasks. It's very good for coding and development, and I appreciate that it's free—no need for a license to use it. Ubuntu runs very fast, and the terminal is excellent for both developing and server tasks. Backend development is particularly easy on Ubuntu, and I can run backend projects seamlessly. The system runs smoothly even when I'm working on multiple backend projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Software support needs to be improved like Windows. Popular software should have an official Linux version, and games developers need to launch games for Linux also.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is great for coding and development tasks, it's free and doesn't require a license. It runs very fast, and backend development is easy, with a smooth system performance.
