my desktop is on the older side, and I need to have a responsive desktop. Using Ubuntu helped speed up the desktop
Recommendations to others considering the product:
depends on what you want to do, and what industry your work is in. I think it's better than Windows or Mac, but it's not as user friendly, and people don't typically like googling things or relying on tech support if there's an issue.
Good OS to experiment new features and also host services
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of installation - specially on Oracle virtualbox as VM. Just use the ubuntu iso, do minimal settings like location, user/password, root user and network interfaces and thats it. The OS installs and ready in few minutes.

I like all the features given by Ubuntu. Noting yet to dislike.

Ubuntu
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a Linux distribution, a powerful, versatile, and well-maintained operating system. It is free software licensed and open source, which makes it easy for numerous users to make modifications to adapt to different environments. Ubuntu effectively manages the machine's resources, both main memory and processor, and includes many tools to manage the work environment, such as creating users, setting up a server, and creating groups. To do this, it offers two paths: the intuitive one through GUI and the fast but less intuitive one, command console. Through the update and software center, it is possible to find many very useful open source licensed tools for our system using a search engine.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I don't like about Ubuntu is that learning to manage it through commands requires a lot of study and practice. But it's worth investing time in it to achieve the necessary fluency to perform administrative tasks with ultra speed. Ubuntu also has the drawback of coexisting with the large operating system development companies, and this sometimes causes a lot of commercial software to not have a compatible version with Ubuntu.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu has helped me to get to know a free operating system that appears robust and intuitive in its interface. It does not involve any expense on licenses and it is possible to find many programs available through the software center. Additionally, it works correctly from a virtual machine, so there is no need to actually install it locally.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Knowing Ubuntu is advisable, so as not to close oneself off to the alternatives in commercial operating systems that we have. Ubuntu is free and powerful.
A Linux OS that is edgy enough to be current and just enough behind to be stable.
What do you like best about the product?
Updates and security patches are constantly being provided. Most packages are at the most recent stable versions and problems with out of date software are few. I find that for web servers, Ubuntu always seems to have all the pertinent packages.
What do you dislike about the product?
While there are LTS versions, upgrading between major versions is a bit dicey. I would prefer a distribution that allows for a rolling update process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Open Source Server and desktop software to run line of business apps, appliances and non-critical desktops requiring basic software needs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Like all Linux distros, it really comes down to need and features. I believe that all distros have strengths and none are inferior so the choice or decision is not based on personal beliefs. Choose what is supported and recommended by your app providers.
One of the best operating systems for programmers as well as a regular user. Very lightweight.
What do you like best about the product?
This is the best operating system for machine learning, ethical hacking, cloud, artificial intelligence and lots and lots of other things. I have a company of about 10 employees and we are working of A.I, machine learning and lots of other cutting edge technologies. So Ubuntu helps us achieve what we want. It's light weight nature is not very memory hungry and also not very hard on the processor. Which lets us run more programs in parallel. Other than that it has a very nice terminal and user interface. Linux is considered an Operating system only for programmers but this will not be true for this operating system. Ubuntu undoubtedly is very user friendly and can be used by any kind of user and not only programmers.
What do you dislike about the product?
The open source nature of Ubuntu makes it prone to attacks and hacks. So the developers at Ubuntu could do better with the security. I also recommend making it a little bit more user friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am working with my team on different cutting edge technologies like A.I (Artificial Intelligence) and machine learning. So this light and easy operating system is helping me achieve my targets. It is easily modifiable and there is a lot of support available in different forums which is very helpful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is better than other similar Linux Operating Systems available in the market. It's light and way more flexible. It has good user interface as well as a great terminal commands.
UBUNTU. Do not be afraid of it.
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is an excellent operating system, based on free software licenses, also known as open source, which means a large community is working behind it, constantly obtaining improvements. The operating system has nothing to envy from other proprietary licensed systems (like Windows or Apple's OSX). It functions as a single-user operating system or as a network operating system (server). It is free and comes with a built-in search engine that will allow you to search for more free and open-source programs to install on your system with just a few clicks. It is easy to install and very intuitive.
The command interface handling is ultra-fast and allows you to do anything faster than through the graphical interface.
You can perfectly test it along with a virtual machine to conduct tests before launching into implementation.
When installing it, you can install Grub (or the old Lilo) to set up a boot menu in case your PC has multiple operating systems, so you can choose which one you want to boot with.
It manages system resources such as processor usage and RAM much better than Windows.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are many applications and games that are released for Windows and Mac, and in Linux Ubuntu they are not compatible. If you are very used to using proprietary operating systems, when you arrive at Ubuntu it may be a bit difficult to adapt. Finding the drivers for your hardware devices can turn out to be quite an odyssey. Handling the command interface is very complex and requires a lot of study and practice to master it completely. Pay attention to periodic updates to keep it up to date. Sometimes it will even be necessary to change versions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Free operating systems for your employees' (or students' if we are talking about an institute or academy) workstations without having to pay the expensive Microsoft or MAC licenses.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu, your free, intuitive, and open source licensed operating system
Of the best for the job
What do you like best about the product?
I am a defender of Linux in general, but one of the distributions I like the most is Ubuntu. It is perfect for the desktop, having a wide range of applications at hand, and with great hardware support, being one of those with the best support.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I like least is that there are too many versions and they are not focused on one. Other than that, I love it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When Windows 8 arrived, we considered the alternative in Linux, and we started deploying computers with Ubuntu for users, saving us a lot of money and maintenance hours.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think they should resume the Ubuntu Touch project and fully dive into mobility.
User-friendly Linux Distribution for any level of developer.
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is the first choice for any level of developer from beginner to expert anyone can be comfortable using this. With its wide spread community any software that is available for Linux can be found in Ubuntu's repository.
What do you dislike about the product?
In latest LTS release Ubuntu moved from Unity Desktop Environment to Gnome Desktop Environment. for me it is a poor move as i like the Unity better
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is default OS of all our developer`s Systems.
Good OS for IT people
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu it's a good operative system for people that works as IT administrator because allows you to connect to different computers with ssh or rdp and other protocols very easy. Also you have available much different tools to administrators, for example network tools, or disc forensics tools
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some tasks that are difficult to configure, basically some services like NTP, apache, rsync etc.
The other thing is that the graphical interface is very slow in some tasks.

Ubuntu works geat
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu works great. Have been using it for years and it does not crash, it just does what I want it to do. I use it as my everyday machine and since most of our software is web based, I really have no problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some common issues that occur can often be dificult to find solutions for and most things are command line based.

I use a second Ubuntu machine to open attachments and evaluate emails and websites that people feel might be infected.
