It's flexibility and speed.
It's easy to install, still actively maintained and FREE.

The look and feel of the OS can be a lot better when compared to Operating Systems like Window and Mac OS.
Sometimes, software and hardware aren't just plug and play, you'll need some workarounds/hacks to make them work

It's a very productive tool for software development as that's what I primarily use it for.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are other Linux variants to consider, like Kubuntu.
But I've had a really good experience with Ubuntu for many years and will highly recommend for any one trying to have a go with Linux.

What do you like best about the product?
This system is so user friendly it has become the premium Linux system for new people getting into Lunix OS.

With a developer forum you are able to contribute and make an app to add to the store become a part of the service which is amazing.

Linux systems can build software using cmake. These advanced commands are complex and difficult which put of the average computer user.

Operating system that actually works!

  • October 03, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This operating system is extremely stable and reliable. You don't have to worry about the bugs or viruses any more. The Ubuntu community is the best in the world. They have the solution for every problem. Whereas finding out the problem in windows often become very frustrating. The Ubuntu file system is also better than Windows. The best thing is, it don't have BSOD.
What do you dislike about the product?
Well, the GUI could be better. Ubuntu does not come with every required apps preinstalled. So you have to know stuffs to make it usable. Comparing to windows, it much better but if we compare it with mac OS, it's an okay operating system. Also, for gamers; setting up the system required high level of knowledge which most of the people don't have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been installing 1000+ mail servers, web servers using this distro of linux and we have never regretted the decision for it's robust features and community support. This OS is highly modifiable, making it almost a custom OS for your specific need.

Super Stable

  • September 27, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I really like that ubuntu is a super stable os that can have really long uptimes. The low resource consumption is also something that I really enjoy. I can take old hardware that is super slow with windows, throw ubuntu on it and it is about one billion times faster than it was before. The ability to customize anything you want on it too is also something that I really really like.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dont like how some software is only supported if you meet certain requirements. Some software is also hard to run on linux or is not even available for linux. Additionally, sometimes you have to find/enable really obsure settings to get things to work properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using this as my main day to day driver and on all of my servers. It costs significantly less to run everything too. I can also virtualize many instances of the OS and not have to fork money over to Microsoft for all of the licenses that you normally would have to.

Great linux distro and a gateway to linux world

  • September 25, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Everything feels smoother, cleared, a bug-free, add-free environment that really allows us to focus on whatever that is needed to be done. Much more secured that windows os. No need to install tons of software to defend virus.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although there are alternating apps for every occasion. But sometimes as a windows user, you need the exact app. You could run it via wine but it's just extra hassle.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For students, the desktop version is highly recommended as it is the gateway to the Linux world. With the free os, one can run a full-fledged enterprise-grade web server, mail server without an issue. The community is very rich, which allows you to solve any issue with a blink of an eye.
