Ubuntu
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Ubuntu is, it is totally free and open source. I am using 16.04 Lts version and experience of using this version is far better than 14.04 Lts version and 18.04 version. It has better hardware compatibility other than any operating system present in the market. Anyone can easily install software from software center application. The foremost thing about ubuntu I like is, no virus or malware can harm your system and has better security other than all operating systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
The first thing I dislike in Ubuntu or any Unix and Linux based operating system is, it is not very user-friendly for native users. And the second thing is, it is not well suited for people who play computer games.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As I am an automation software test engineer, I write many test scripts to automate web application and Android application which runs on mock servers. These test scripts require few hours to run on the mock server. So the system should very fast and should not be sluggish in performance because of that test case might fail. It might lead to the poor performance of the test script. So it works way faster than the window operating system which previously I and my whole team members were using. During our testing project, we need much more software like Eclipse for writing test scripts, JDK for the Java programming language, DBeaver for connecting many databases at once Pritunl client for VPN connection, etc. , this software works very fine in this particular Os.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you really want to know about much more about how the operating system works and dive into its functionality you can use this operating system. Although if you are a naive user, you might found some difficulties during initial times. But once you are habituated and comfortable with some widely used commands, you will definitely fall in love with this operating system.
A simple and stable operating system
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a light OS, however it has great potential, it has a large number of tools that can be used for any activity of a domestic or business user, also for computer developers, It has a nice and intuitive graphic interface. Ubuntu is fast, powerful and ideal for low-end computers, since its utilities do not require great resources. Some of the positive features of Ubuntu:
- Allows a personal touch to the desktop and anchoring the dock to the left of the screen instead
- There is an useful activity button and another one for managing virtual desktops.
- The snap application library
- Good starting speed

What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu has few options for customization of the interface, unless you use a external tool, also It has little compatibility to import documents from other operating systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Ubuntu as the main operating system in my work because it is a secure, open source system, so I can make modifications in modules to optimize the analysis of commercial data, manage servers and develop solutions to problems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do not be afraid to try Ubuntu, if you are not sure how to use it as the main operating system you can install it as a secondary system, its installation does not take up almost space and does not interfere with the use of your operating system, you will not regret the freedom, efficiency and the comfort that this distribution of Linux offers you.
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.
Open source, feel free as it is free!!
What do you like best about the product?
U dont need to pay anything to get the Od is main attraction!! Once you download it we get most of the software pre installed for basic operations.. beginners font need to install any exxtra software as its preloaded with softwares already. Safely and security Wise its good as many virues are not targetting ubuntu.

One who is willing to avoid proprietary softwares can switch to this
Real alternative to Windows
What do you like best about the product?
Years ago I changed my operating system for Ubuntu because my Windows system got infected and I lost some things of not much value but I was clear that I did not want to continue being a user of such a vulnerable system. Ubuntu found a system based on the kernel of Linux much more secure not only by the system itself, but not being so popular was not the goal of malicious users.
What I liked the most about Ubuntu was that I did not need any antivirus system to feel safe in my operating system since, the antivirus is something that has almost no use in the Linux world and of course I have not used it for a long time.
Another thing that I liked most about Ubuntu and Linux was that most of the alternative programs were open source and therefore the content of the code was public so that I knew perfectly well that no malicious developer was doing an improper use of my operating system.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not everything is positive in Ubuntu / Linux, the main problem of Linux are the software limitations that exist because many of the applications that we have in Windows do not exist in Linux, not even free software alternatives, due to this we must resort to emulators like Wine to try to make the software work, in many cases it is too much work for a user with little knowledge.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem that Ubuntu solves both in my work and in my personal desktop in my home is that of security, using Linux I can surf calmly and install applications directly from the repositories without fear of my system being infected and vulnerable to data theft sensitive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend using Ubuntu mainly in enterprise environments due to the security implemented by Linux-based operating systems, especially in the network layer. Also another advantage of Ubuntu user is that the operating system is free in its entirety, as well as the software it uses.
Ubuntu. Your ideal operating system
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Ubuntu is that it takes advantage of your computer's resources to operate, offering the highest possible performance. It's a delight to use Ubuntu.
Additionally, it is in a constant process of updating, growth, and improvement, thanks to the large number of users working selflessly on the project from an economic standpoint, as Ubuntu can also be downloaded and used in any environment for free.
The Ubuntu interface is very intuitive and has program repositories that, with an Internet connection, will allow us to download free software of all kinds, such as word processors, spreadsheets, etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
The worst thing about Ubuntu is that it doesn't quite have the support of the international user community. It is being defenestrated by a multitude of software companies that do not release compatible versions with this operating system due to pure commercial interests.
Furthermore, understanding and learning to use this operating system takes a lot of study, effort, and practice, and it should be noted that for beginner users it can be difficult to handle.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is used on our server to maintain a DHCP, control all subnets, and apply a firewall to enhance security in our company. It is also used as an educational tool along with virtual machines to learn how to create domains and join clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu is a great operating system, free and efficient. To take advantage of all your machine's resources and exploit them efficiently, you won't find a better alternative.

Ubuntu - Review
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is, Linux distribution which means that this solution like other Linux distributions is available completely free of charge. The advantage of Ubuntu, which reassured me in choosing this distribution is the fact that it has an excellent graphical interface similar to competitive systems available on the market. Another advantage of Ubuntu is that the system is supported on an ongoing basis and very often there are updates and security patches. The significant advantage of using Ubuntu is that we don't need to use antivirus software, because Linux-based systems are very secure. Ubuntu is a distribution that allows for large customization, so each user can customize the system to suit his or her needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't notice any significant flaws when using Ubuntu except for:
- the Ubuntu graphical interface is very demanding for the computer.
- All developers do not yet support Linux.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
By using Ubuntu, I can safely use my computer without having to purchase a license for the operating system and antivirus.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a secure system that you can customize for your needs, you should consider trying Ubuntu, because this distribution is available completely free of charge even for Windows users.
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.
