Ubuntu is just the way to go
What do you like best about the product?
I like it MOSTLY bc its how i learned linux. But I've found it to be very reliable for production services. I use BInd9 on it in our production environment and I have never had an operating system related issue. I have used CentOS and RedHat and I always default to Ubuntu. The only reasons i wouldnt use ubuntu is that there are, obviously, some applications that arent compatable with Ubuntu
What do you dislike about the product?
Even though you can "secure" it, there needs to be more built-in security controls. Its kind of a pain to go through and do obvious security configs. However, Our environment is shifted to AWS so there are plenty of CIS images out there so its not that big of a deal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
so what i found that saved A LOT of money is hybrid DNS between microsoft and AWS Route53. If all you need is forwarding then it works perfectly for forwarding from microsoft to r53. This could easily be done with aws managed ad but a t2.small linux box is much cheaper. For DELEGATING dns zones though it wont work but pretty sweet for forwarding a hybrid dns. example: Developers code pipeline creates r53 records on prem need to resolve, so instead of wasting company money on a managed ad just for forwarding i used Bind9 on Ubuntu and works beautifly and MUCH cheaper. Delegating is a different story though but, again, forwarding dont waste your money on a managed ad, use bind on Ubuntu
Fast and secure Ubuntu
What do you like best about the product?
Most important part of Ubuntu is its Kernel is Linux based which makes it more secure than windows and it is faster than windows also. In Ubuntu we can install packages by simply typing commands in terminal and this is very fast process. Ubuntu is secure operating system because no one can run executable files. We can set permission to files also.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't dislike anything in Ubuntu but many users refuse to use Ubuntu because of its interface which is not that much user friendly and still people like to use windows for their ease. File structure in Ubuntu is not so good as compare to windows. Commands need to be remembered by the user because single mistake in command can stop the whole process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are running different kinds of services on Ubuntu which make our tasks easier and it is easy to configure those application on linux as compare to windows. Our DHCP server and DNS server running on Ubuntu machine,
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For the security of the organization their system admin should choose Ubuntu over windows which help them to secure their files with enhanced security.
It is an excellent operating system.
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to work in this system. Without as many restrictions as in Windows. Many other development technologies are designed to work better in Ubuntu.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is difficult to find a computer that comes with that operating system from the factory.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Software development jobs. Creation of applications or programs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learn to use the command line, many things are easier to do from the command line and if you don't use it, you can make things more complicated for yourself.
easy to install software
What do you like best about the product?
the command line is convenient to install or control your system

Best bug free OS
What do you like best about the product?
The OS has, in my personal professional experience, never crashed. Everything is available from the terminal. All you need is to learn to type in a few commands and you are good to go. Ubuntu is also thoroughly customizable. You can customize it to be whatever you want it to look like.
What do you dislike about the product?
After getting used to the UI features of Windows, it is hard, in the initial stages to switch to Ubuntu. Once the switch is made, it is hard to go back. However, it will discourage new users to switch from Windows to Ubuntu. My colleagues had to get semi-professional training before they started moving into the actual code at work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used Ubuntu to develop all our applications. The process was very easy with a few commands like "touch", "awk", "sed" etc., we were able to accomplish pretty much whatever we wanted without having to move around the screen with a mouse.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learn a few commands, they will come in very handy. It may seem hard at first, but once you are used to it, it will be very hard to let go.
Easiest distribution to start using Linux
What do you like best about the product?
If you want to have a free and strong operation system, Ubuntu is a great starting point. This distribution is so easy reachable and if you want, it can be used as portable and you like, it can be installed very easily. It has a lot of application in its marketplace.
Another good point, there is long term support, even if you have 3-year-old installation, there is still support option for especially security vulnerabilities.
As I mentioned above, there is a great marketplace, from your desktop, you can find a lot of great tools like open office etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
Actually finding disliked point is really hard. It is best alternative for Windows and other distributions. One point may be mentioned as disliked point, changing location of close, minimize buttons of windows are not easy. Lack of some pre-defined codex for media is another missing point.
Also for integrations with another system, you need to download some programs like samba etc. This can be pre-defined.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have some computers and windows is so expensive and heavy. As server and desktop needs, I use Ubuntu. Ubuntu covers my all operating system needs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are used to use Windows or MacOS, you can get used to use this very easily. It is not like old days.
Ubuntu! The Best Linux Development Platform
What do you like best about the product?
Its the most user friendly Operating System that I have used so far.
I have used other linux flavors like Mint, Fedora, openSUSE, etc, but Ubuntu was the one with which I stick to it till last.
It is not just good for personal usage but for actual Embedded Development.
It has the best Support Community which you can find far better than any other Linux flavors, which is very much required for development.
Most of Development tools are easily available for Ubuntu as they are for Windows.
Software installation and dependency resolution software like Synaptic is a charm especially for Linux.
Easy interface and customization is best.
Best updates and LTS updates from Canonical.
Best to use as an embedded platform, as much support is available.
Its Open Source :)

What do you dislike about the product?
Well its Open Source, so actually should not have any complains..
But yes, with various versions of Ubuntu, have faced bluetooth compatibility issues, stability issues and sometime crashes.
Unity interface is still not best and have some serious stability related issues. Always miss GNOME.
Compatibility of programs which works fine in Ubuntu, sometime doesn't work in other platform.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Well for most of the embedded development, I prefer Ubuntu. Our whole development environment is on Ubuntu. We have Windows in place too, but when its development, its always Linux and in that Mostly Ubuntu.
It provides the clean tools and support for embedded softwares.
Its close to the environment, where the application will gets deployed, so that you can identify issues in advance.
Robustness which comes handy with it.
You can zip your whole workspace and share with your team to work upon, even in different geographical locations. Which is Great.

Ubuntu: easily use free OS
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a free Operating System that offers all what it is needed to work with a computer. Easy to use and with a large offer of software, it is a great OS, even for who hasn't confidence with Linux based OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has to develop a more user-friendly interface and add some paid program if the user want.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu improved my graphic work speed and let me a greater control over my system updates (done only when I had time to perform them and not forced on me, when I work).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please consider Ubuntu as a second OS on your devices at least. It could be a great surprise to you.
Then you can also choose to keep it as first OS. Ubuntu offers a free OS and that's a good thing as you can try it and if you don't like it, well, you can go back to your previous OS. But if you like it, as i do, then you will keep it as your default OS and will discover all the features of this product.

Best free OS with great support
What do you like best about the product?
It's free... and it's linux. What else would you want? Is a very easy to use operative system for those of us working in science/IT jobs. It has a great community support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some releases or updates fail and sometimes the only way to restore the system is to do a clean installation again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for data science. Programming, data management, web development, image editing, regular office stuff... anything you may need from a computer. Except perhaps, playing games.
Developer friendly OS
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing is the powerful commands that ubuntu system provides to the user.
What do you dislike about the product?
Few commands like rm etc. have to be used with great responsibility as some operations once executed cannot be reverted.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using ubuntu for the software development and the automation of testing and software deployment process.
