A Dearest Distro in the Linux World
What do you like best about the product?
Primarily Ubuntu is Debian-based, the one best to start as an alternative on desktops. The OS has evolved over the years. Canonical has given the best touches to the OS in the terms of changes to the network manager, snap store, LTS, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu has been there for a long time trying to push the OS to the desktop segment. It had a head start, but Canonical still has not made an interest to participate with OEMs for a wider device driver pool. Still, I do not have a driver available for my version of the Elan fingerprint sensor. In cloud, it has made the identity, but never tried to address the desktop segment even though there were enough tries to accommodate itself in the same.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I consider ubuntu as an alternative to Windows in the desktop environment. At the same time using it as a reliable OS on the cloud.
Amazing OS and available for free
What do you like best about the product?
One of the amazing things is that It is open source and hence available for Free. It is highly customizable. We can customize according to our needs. You can use any theme that may be macOS, Windows, and even a mix of multiple themes. You can control all the networking and server aspects, which are essential for any developer to work. These things become very much tricky when we use other operating systems like Windows. Ubuntu is one of the widely used distros worldwide, so you can quickly get community support for the problem you plan to fix.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, they do get brake automatically when they are dual booted with Windows. They don't have good disk recovery settings if the PC is not closed in an appropriate way or sudden power cut of the pc, which can ultimately lead to breaking the operating systems and need to be reinstalled only. Sometimes the processes are not very well managed by the Kernel and require a force stop by the power button. This makes the OS irresponsive to the heavy software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I mostly use Ubuntu for development. The web application requires frequent managing of different servers and availability of different ports that a developer can manage easily and make them available according to its requirements. These features help to develop the applications faster and in a much cleaner way. I increased my productivity because of the comfortable support available for all the problems that we usually face.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are many Linux based distros available in the market, but Ubuntu is one of the user-friendly distros and is good for the beginners. If you are planning to switch to a Linux based operating system. I would highly recommend installing this operating system.
Safer Faster Better
What do you like best about the product?
I like the safety. No virus, no hang. Especially for developers or corporates should use Ubuntu only. At first, it may feel difficult but once you know how to use you can do anything.
What do you dislike about the product?
The softwares that are availble for windows or mac are not supported by ubuntu. I have to learn Ubuntu and master it to use it properly. No for beginners and gamers. Also, I have an issue with the available apps. Secondly, when I download some apps they are not fully supported by Ubuntu.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am doing my day to day office works. From designing to making reports, doing programming, watching movies and many more.. it makes my work easier.
A nice linux distrubution preconfigured for beginners
What do you like best about the product?
This operating system can be used without prior Linux terminal knowledge and has very good compatibility with most of the software regularly used in IT and Office environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Perhaps the default configurations could be improved, so the user could provide more inputs during the installation. While the configuration is easy, Ubuntu could be inproved by having a more comprehensive GUI configuration process and manual.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a free operating system with fewer bugs than Windows and that I can easily fix without calling support. With Ubuntu we can finally drop significantly maintaining licensing costs related to Microsoft product such as Active Directory Microsoft 365 and many other software that anyway don't work at all on Linux based operating system. Furthermore, the system is very straightforward to start with even for non-tech related workforce, I trully believe that such a software should be wildspread in all public workforce as it is ammoral to use tax payers' money for commercial products such as Microsoft ones when free public alternatives exist. Especilly that there is close to no learning curve.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go ahead; it's very simple and straightforward. I recommend to skip the configuration part and to simply look for resource material online to strenghten your knowledge of the product. It may look easy when you start with, but it's yet a complete Linux distribution allowing you to go as far as you wish in your understanding of the OS.
Affordable and Clean OS for your daily work
What do you like best about the product?
Works best for server based work and that its available as freeware makes it more likeable to large group of IT individuals

There's nothing to dislike except the user needs to install packages for different tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My organisation has been using Ubuntu based system as a server for running our operations and has been effective in increasing productivity and development.

It's best OS for software development. You can get ready to use text editors. Although it may be difficult to use for the first time especially for the peoples coming from windows platform. But gradually it turns to be the best is for development purposes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The libre office is not as effective so for that I sometimes need to use window to work on ms office.

Setup a bit challenging. An amazing fit for a low end laptop and for programming enthusiasts
What do you like best about the product?
Low system requirements and hence, good fit for a low end system. Works awefully well on systems where windows may face hardware requirement issues. Fast: boot and processing. Customizable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initial setup may be a bit confusing. Installation is pretty similar to that of windows but setting up apps and services and some necceary one time fixes may be problematic. Frequent googling about terminal instructions may turn frustrating. Some settings which were easy to modify in windows might be tough to play with in ubuntu.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Windows was corrupting frequently, my laptop didnt have the required ram and hence, the very basic problem that i wished to solve was to install a system that is compatible with the available hardware and does not promt issues every now and then. Once this problem was solved, I further admired the terminal app which offers easy programming utility.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is an amazing OS given you are good with googling skills. If you are a programming enthusiast, you may consider using it. Also, if you are deprived of the fancy hardware required to support windows OS or are facing slow processing or boot speed in windows, Ubuntu may come to the rescue.

The Graphical User Interface is little poor compared to other non Linux OS.
Also This is not the best for non-tech people.
There is a little problem that the updates come more frequently.
The general people likes easy access and less command line interaction , In Ubuntu , One should understand at least few commands , which becomes headache for those who are non-techie.
Although newer version of Ubuntu is improving in GUI , but it still lacks compared to other non Linux OS.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a software developer , I work for different open source projects and also wok in Development and Coding field. I use inbuilt Apache Server for my server side work. I also do scripting by using Bash Script. Ubuntu has a great support for the development field and also for the Server side work . There are several benefits I cam across since I started using Ubuntu , Its performance , Its accessibility and the powerful Apache Server that helps me debugging and developing the project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu is the best OS for the open source development . If someone is from the tech background , then Ubuntu helps them a lot while developing and working for their project. If someone likes a better GUI then go for other OS . For students and learners , While using Ubuntu , You can learn several tech related things . For developers , This is one and only you wanted. The ease of developing and environment this OS provides , it will help user to work in their comfort zone.
