The No. 1 Linux distro for client endpoints.
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS's new look and feel is a treat to the eyes. The ease of access of all apps. The app store with Snap allows a much more flexible way to install software while keeping our favorite apt commands. It is stable, fast, easy to use, has lots of software and works on most computers as is. But the main reason why I switched from MS OS to Linux is the updates management.
What do you dislike about the product?
The way snap creates multiple partitions for software is not my favorite I must say. Also some issues with alsa drivers might come up using some audio editing software.
But the worst is that you cannot use a bluetooth headset with microphone. That is just the most annoying limitation I've found so far.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am reusing machines that would be otherwise discarded. As a BI Tech Lead, I work with Ubuntu on my day to day. I am not using Windows anymore on my client machine.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learning linux is not difficult at all nowadays, but it requires you to solve the issues and interact with the community as you have no other support. You need to know you machine and what you want to do or not. It's all about being a responsible user. And it is a fun journey.
it is a use full open source operating system
What do you like best about the product?
we can customize os based on our needs. also, it is a great operating system for developers.
What do you dislike about the product?
if we install Ubuntu on our pc we should face a hard time to find suitable drivers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using my own customized ubuntu for mobile applications security testing
Great Linux distro, easy and popular
What do you like best about the product?
It's one of most easy to use Linux distro. Works with modern hardware, APT is available for most of required Software you see around Web (plus snaps), Gnome shell is finally a nice replacement for old Unity. Community is also one of the best, so you can find solutions and even fixes quickly for any issue.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are better alternatives for low performance hardware, sometimes gnome-shell is not the most stable software like old gnome2. And even with a nice support for modern hardware, using proprietary drivers could be easier as sometimes we need to add custom apt or even run binaries and change system file settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've been using Ubuntu as desktop solution, for coding and day to day work, but also for most of docker containers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's one of best distros in the Market, desktop or even server too. Official support works very well for LTS releases, specially for servers since you can get continuously security fixes after years.
Ubuntu provides Mac reliability and speed at PC price
What do you like best about the product?
Worry-free. When I boot up my Ubuntu laptop, I know everything is going to load quickly, function properly, and in the rare case where something goes wrong with a program, it clean up after itself. I like that, using Ubuntu, it's very easy to find apps (usually free) that do what I need with very little fuss.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside has always been that most PC game developers use restrictive development tools like dot-net and DirectX instead of better, equivalent-function cross-platform tools like OpenGL and Mono, therefore many popular games are not available.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use a suite of office and creative productivity applications that run natively on Ubuntu Linux - LibreOffice is a drop-in replacement for MS Office, Thunderbird replaces Outlook, and Gimp and InkScape do everything I need that I might otherwise use Adobe CS for. Aside from office tools, mostly I use Ubuntu for software development.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You don't have to completely drop Windows or Mac to use Ubuntu. It can co-exist on the same computer with a little clever hard driver partitioning. I do recommend reading some basic manuals on the Linux command line, because there are some things that are just easier to do with the terminal than trying to find the right button.
Safe and user-friendly at a price that can't be beaten.
What do you like best about the product?
Aside from all the software that comes with it, there's also a vast amount of software in the "Canonical" store that can do nearly anything you need to get your computer to do, (and free for the most part).
What do you dislike about the product?
Although it can also be considered a blessing, software updates can pop up at any given time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can set the acquisition of marketing analytics as a background task, and just keep doing everything else that I need to do, without waiting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For full benefit, it's recommended that before making the switch, acquire some basic user skills in the Debian Linux genre... mainly in use of "bash" and "sh" shells. The desktop (Gnome) is easy enough to use, but using the shell via a "terminal" window, or via an "ssh" connection is a little more complex, and you will need to know your way around it, when doing administrative jobbies, to keep yourself from damaging the system files.
Using Ubuntu as server and desktop
What do you like best about the product?
Open Operating Systems is one of the easiest to use nowadays.
What do you dislike about the product?
The standard graphical interface becomes very heavy for old machines.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using ubuntu without graphical interface and with samba server to store files, filtering unnecessary files. The biggest benefit was protection between computer networks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Before using the product, evaluate the quality of the hardware since ubuntu has several graphical interfaces according to the necessity.

Not for people looking for ease of use, needs fair bit of setup early on
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The open source nature of Ubuntu, especially with regards to software development makes it very easy to get started quickly and get something done. Plus, the shell interface!
Amazing open source software
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about ubuntu is that it is open source, you could practically edit each of the internal files and understand how does a operating system works. Also Tensorflow works great in this system, rather than in windows
What do you dislike about the product?
A disadvantage of using Ubuntu is that the Media players are very much outdated. Also it is a bit intimidating when you install Ubuntu in a dual boot manner. When I was a novice, I deleted my windows partition while installing ubuntu. The grub installer also yields some problem while installing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tensorflow and Keras are my primary work currently. The benefit that I have realized is that everything can be modified and there is a great community out there where you could ask answers from. Also recently I have been doing API related Flask work, and Ubuntu is awesome!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its amazing, far better than commercial operating systems and it saves you 100 dollars
An Ubuntu lover's review of the OS
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Ubuntu has Linux and it's GUI is amazing and very to-the-point. Ubuntu is my favorite Linux flavor OS, and I have been using it for 4 years now.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the open source text editing and spreadsheet softwares that come with it, especially Libre Office.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am readily able to solve all coding tasks and install whichever software I like from the command line with Ubuntu and I find that incredibly useful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a wonderful OS that I have found easy to use and learn. I recommend Ubuntu to anyone who wants to get into the software industry as the best OS to have, to learn how things work.
