Better with Gnome
What do you like best about the product?
The GNOME desktop environment makes Ubuntu extensible and less intrusive. The release cycle of Ubuntu is dependable and releases are easy to upgrade to. Ubuntu is stable and makes a great bootable flash drive. APT is a great package manager as well. I have had a great time using Ubuntu as a headless server as well, as it is a very stable and well-documented platform, and has many options on services like AWS.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Unity Desktop is atrocious (and previously invasive). The only downside to APT is that Canonical is slow with updating the main package repository, which means that there is a longer wait for updates from many of the standard software packages, as opposed to a constant release like Arch.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Developing on one of the most common systems to deploy on makes it easier for teams to test software locally without the need to upload to a continuous integration service. This helps finding platform specific bugs as soon as possible.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu has one of the best communities in the Linux world and is also easier to switch to from Mac OS or Windows than some of the other distributions. Finding help for problems is easy and the software is mature + well maintained. The Unity Desktop environment is much worse than the GNOME shell environment.
Powerful, fast and LTS provides useful longevity for business desktop usage
What do you like best about the product?
UI is easy for new users to adapt to, nice selection of packages
What do you dislike about the product?
Installing some 3rd party packages like nomachine takes some effort
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Performance focused workstation for production-like environment for developers and wide array of libraries and software for the platform
Ubuntu remains a solid platform for development and servers.
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is incredibly flexible. I've used it personally for many years, so using it for work is great. I am a fan of the "apt" package manager and bash, so Ubuntu is my distribution of choice. CoreOS is also a great system.
What do you dislike about the product?
The distro upgrade path is still a little complicated if a user doesn't know specifically what to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A free, open-source server OS lets us save money, while Ubuntu has a broad user base and is a stable, supported distribution.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are many distributions of Linux, but Ubuntu remains one of the most user-friendly, stable, well-documented versions.
A beginner friendly distribution
What do you like best about the product?
It is the most beginner friendly distribution I have come across. You won't need to install drivers, in most cases, for anything. If anything goes wrong, you'll find its solution in no-time. It has a very friendly community which don't hesitate to help.
What do you dislike about the product?
When it is newly installed, system is very fast and responsive. But as the time passes, it gets slower and starts lagging. I faced issues with display as it becomes laggy. One thing I disliked most is lack of support for graphics card drivers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am developer and most of the tools I use performs very well on Linux OS. I've tried various Linux distributions but I got stuck with ubuntu because it doesn't require setup for everything. And it has an awesome community, so if I face an issue, I can find it's solution in very short span of time.
Great for dev
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to install, easy to manage, its linux.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unity requires too many resources on the desktop
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Developing, running servers
Great software for Linux for an ISO File
What do you like best about the product?
I like the friendly user interface and the functionality, as well as the way I can import ISO files. It is relatively user friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the limitations and the fact that it is slow for upgrades. It is not supported as much as some of the other environments. Limited software and lack of customization is also a drawback.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Ubuntu to run a virtual machine or a dual boot operating system.
I love the simplicity
What do you like best about the product?
I love the clean, simple user interface. I also like the simple user tutorials on their website.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't anything about Ubuntu I dislike - just general challenges of learning something new.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work in recruiting and our applicant tracking systems all work better on my computer that runs Ubuntu than on my Windows computer.
Ubuntu - An awesome OS for beginner Linux Users to learn
What do you like best about the product?
User Experience of Ubuntu is the best among all the Linus distros I have tried out. It is very useful for a beginner who has just started with Linux.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu Software Center should be updated with new software versions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
From business perspective, most important advantage is that it is free and open source.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider Ubuntu if you are a startup who won't like to invest in OS and still would like to have a well supported OS with all the features for rapid development.
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
What do you like best about the product?
I like the hardware support introduced in version 16.04, other than that the operating system has the same great capabilities as 14.04.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not that it is a big deal to switch the desktop environment but I would have liked to have seen something other than Unity as the default windowing environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Ubuntu primarily for data science work, it is nearly impossible to run many of the applications and packages out there on Windows.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu is a great operating system as it is simple to use, easy to install software and it is compatible with nearly everything.
