In a sea of operating systems : Ubuntu stands out.
What do you like best about the product?
Taking into consideration that one mostly or usually installs it over a Windows system (which they don't have to do & experiment it much less often), I appreciate :
i) ease of installation, update (livepatch, landscape or not).
ii) locating applications that are approved is a cinch via the software-boutique
iii) I trust Canonical to make a secure product that rivals the best out there.
iv) interesting the chose to leave the apt-get, apt but can combine with snap and others for package management.
v) landscape is a terrific product especially if combined with a remote access web interface (like dwservice).
vi) I can install it on a newbie's unit and they are up and running very quickly - the learning curb between windows 7 and ubuntu 24.04 mate is easy to overcome.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am a user but also a system administrator, so for what I do :
a) I don't find the default gnome interface as intuitive or user-friendly as Mate, LXDE or others.
b) some products don't have a smooth installation documentation even after several attemps, like OpenStack - whereas MicroStack was much more compliant.
c) my perception is that it's starts to get complicated to be a member of the various forums : ubuntu, charm, ...etc.
d) this is not a dislike, but somehow too many business will opt for redhat, when I feel they could get more with Canonical and Ubuntu.
e) I've run into issues attempting to un-install some products (openstack) as it seems to integrate deeply with many components : unlike a lighter product like virtualbox.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I need a robust yet efficient platform to : do my daily work (desktop/workstation), server administration (web, security,automation) - and not have to worry about many aspects that it take care of for me.
Supports a wide range of features and offers a highly stable user experience
What is our primary use case?
I use Ubuntu Linux for application servers in my daily operations.
I run web applications on Ubuntu Linux.
For application servers, I find Ubuntu Linux very useful.
I have a project on Ubuntu Linux that uses Nvidia graphic cards for AI purposes, such as Google Maps, where car cameras collect images while running on the road to build a map and recognize shop names and locations.
What is most valuable?
I find Ubuntu Linux to be a stable operating system and open-source, supporting almost all features as expected for an operating system, and it's widely supported by any open-source applications.
It is widely supported by almost all applications.
Ubuntu Linux continuously improves itself; it supports almost every new feature, and AI projects benefit from these developments, as well as every web-based project due to support for at least three or four web platforms such as Apache and Nginx.
What needs improvement?
Automation is very important for wide deployments, and Ubuntu Linux supports a lot of automation features, making it easy to deploy hundreds of applications. While Linux platforms are generally difficult to manage due to shell applications and lots of text files, automation handles these challenges and allows monitoring of the deployment process. This kind of development needs to be done, and the GUI could be better.
The GUI could be improved for beginner users.
For beginners, the GUI may be improved, but pro users use automation tools, scripts, and other options, so they don't need easy GUI tricks.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before working with Ubuntu Linux, I evaluated most other Linux operating systems such as Red Hat, SUSE, and others.

I may share a review on other Linux or operating systems such as Rocky, Kali, Oracle, and SUSE in one or two months.
What other advice do I have?
Currently, approximately 2,000 users are working with Ubuntu Linux in my company.

I use Ubuntu Linux as a replacement for Windows for everything. I use Teams, emails, Zoom, AnyDesk, and UltraViewer on it.
What is most valuable?
For system administration, I find it useful to connect to my Linux servers directly from the command line, and I create my virtual machines using VMware Workstation.
In terms of security, I am satisfied with Ubuntu Linux and I can rely on its security features more than I can with Windows.
What needs improvement?
There might be some features or limitations I would want to see improved, but I cannot think of any specific ones right now. It is easy to use.
