Lightweight, Cost-Effective, and Perfect for Cloud
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate Ubuntu’s lightweight nature and its cost-effectiveness since it is an open-source operating system with no licensing fees. This has been particularly beneficial in my organization, which operates in a cloud-based environment using Azure Virtual Machines. Ubuntu's compatibility with Docker makes it ideal for deploying applications through docker images, maintaining them easily, and scaling them as required. The widespread adoption of Ubuntu in the industry as an organizational standard for production-ready environments adds to its reliability. I value Ubuntu's strong support community and the frequent updates and upgrades it receives. The ease of setup when being deployed in Azure environments, due to the existing agreements and configurations, requires minimal effort from my side. Ubuntu has proven to be a strategic choice, outperforming alternatives like Windows that are heavier and have slower boot times, especially when integrating with Docker, which is cumbersome and not fully supported on Windows systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
In some cases, Ubuntu poses limitations in pipeline deployment scenarios where specific tasks require the Windows operating system. This is notably an issue for custom tasks within my organization, such as tasks that involve sending emails from mail servers that might be purchased by my company. These tasks may not be compatible with Ubuntu and necessitate Windows to execute correctly, thereby creating a limitation where Ubuntu cannot perform these pipeline tasks successfully.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Ubuntu for deploying applications with Docker images, benefiting from its lightweight nature, cost-effectiveness, open-source support, and extensive library resources.
Rock-solid and clean OS for dev work
What do you like best about the product?
It’s stable, fast, and everything just works out of the box. I use it daily for backend development, and the terminal experience is smooth. Package management with apt is easy, and I like how Docker, Node, and other tools install without any setup mess. The LTS version gives peace of mind for long-term projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes drivers (especially for Wi-Fi or GPUs) act weird after updates. Also, Snap packages can be slow — I mostly switch to apt or direct deb installs. Other than that, not much to complain about.

There aren’t many complaints, but sometimes driver compatibility (especially for graphics) still takes extra setup time.
