Ubuntu review
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most is the ease with which it is possible to install in it, through 3 simple commands, the OpenStack virtualization suite and therefore to be able to quickly create your own self-service service for creating virtual machines in a similar way to that of the main cloud providers but with the ability to directly upload qcow2 images related to containers minimized in size and HW requirements.
What do you dislike about the product?
Keeping some packages updated is not always easy because sometimes the official repositories remove certain packages from the list of updates making it necessary to manually insert repositories other than the official ones or worse the installation from tarball.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu, in its server version or the one I mainly use, is truly powerful and with solid foundations able to guarantee continuous stability and reliability without sudden crashes and without particular maintenance or cleaning operations. It has a vastness of native packages to be able to work immediately with AI libraries such as TensorFlow, moreover, the native support for Python3 makes it an ideal operating system for those who need to create a multitude of servers or containers capable of running Python applications also in shared load mode.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
To avoid having to create and maintain multiple installations of Ubuntu I recommend, if it is appropriate for your use case, to create an OpenStack virtualizer with Ubuntu 18.04 and through it create all the "disposable" virtual machines with the same version of Ubuntu according to your needs, from OpenStack you can save snapshots to have machines pre-installed and configured at your convenience.
Attractive interface with limited beginner options
What do you like best about the product?
I recently installed Ubuntu on an old netbook, which became too slow for MS WIN10. It installed without problems and had every driver inside to make ik work. It runs nicely on less performant machines. Even the drivers for the touch-screen were present. I was surprised by the fluidity and the interface. It is really nice-looking, understandable and has all you need from scratch.
What do you dislike about the product?
Most of the advanced options, like installing programs or change settings, can or must be done by command prompt instructions. This need a certain knowlegde I don't master
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I installed Ubuntu to bring back alive an old netbook. At the beginning i was rather sceptic, but now I opened my eyes. Now I am experimenting with it
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For now Ubuntu seems to handle very nice and well. Attractive and user friendly interface with clear icons. Most of the basic software like email and office software are pre-installed, but there is also a software app where you can choose other soft. If you want to go deeper into ubuntu, you must really invest some time and effort to learn and understand the command prompt instructions. These can be very powerfull but you must know wat you are doing.
Great OS for developers, not recommended for Enterprise app developers who have Microsoft dependenci
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is the best option for developers as Ubuntu is Safe, secured, respects the organization's privacy. It is free so that the organization doesn't want to pay extra on OS maintenance. Ubuntu is a an open-source Linux distro so that the organization can customize it in the way they wanted. Mainstream IDEs like Android Studio and Intellij(Pycharm, Webstorm) works fine on Ubuntu when compared to an equivalent machine with windows OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
The major problem we are facing as an Enterprise application developing company is- Most of our clients have legacy databases and other systems that have Microsoft dependencies. In such cases, it is hard to integrate these systems with our working environments. Another issue with Ubuntu is- being the Linux distro with the largest community support Ubuntu lacks hardware compatibility(graphics drivers, printers, etc). Applications that need high GPU performance like Photoshop and AutoCAD shows glitches while running on Ubuntu.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working on Development frameworks like 'Ruby on Rails' and 'Python', Ubuntu is the best OS that we can make use of. Setting up Ruby on Rails on windows is a big headache for every developer. Thus most of the RoR(Ruby on Rails) developers use Ubuntu as their OS by considering compatibility and organizational privacy.
Love it

It’s very convenient if you need to create your own environment and if you work with clusters at work

The design can be a little more modern, now it’s too old school

Creating personal environments and installing software
My experience with Ubuntu
What do you like best about the product?
I have always been interested in open source projects and Ubuntu tops the list. It is my preferred OS since its relatively lightweight and has a good UI.
What do you dislike about the product?
Linux is a good language for programming but seems restrictive in many things especially gaming. It needs more support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu provides a great UI and can be used across various IOT devices. It is more convenient to install it on a rasberry PI and use it for connecting with other devices.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu is great for programming but if doesn't provide support for some softwares. It is a great idea to dual boot with another OS.
My experience with Ubantu

Ubuntu R
What do you like best about the product?
The installation was very quick which got me working! It is super fast with WiFi connections which makes my work easy. It keeps on providing pop ups of applications that i find useful with what I do. The downloading process is also faster
What do you dislike about the product?
Sadly, on the first day i used it, midway my work it crashed. The mouse pointer is slow to move which is nagging. Then please, reduce on the number of adverts, they are disruptive. Some buttons and menus are hard to get until which limits me sometimes. However after using it for along time, i mastered this. It is slow when i am doing various tasks on my computer. The graphics are poor mostly while playing video games
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I easily get free apps to use, but also provides real time results without over scrolling through looking for the right information needed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu is easy to use, so fast in strong networks, I have not had any data leak instances but also provides free apps which are user friendly. I have most times updated Ubuntu without my computer turning off. Try it today...
