Ubuntu, makes linux easier
What do you like best about the product?
Before the arrival of Ubuntu, the use of GNU / Linux had a timid use on the part of the users, the philosophy of the project directed by Mark Shuttleworth, undoubtedly a good benevolent dictator, made the community of users expand and the large companies will not hesitate to choose this distribution as their desktop solution, saving considerable costs in licensing. For this, this dynamic philosophy of updates every 6 months contributed greatly and the flexibility to include as many peripheral drivers as possible. This same dynamism also contributed to give a great impulse to the state of distributions based on linux, which did not want to be left behind. Also in the world of servers, with its Ubuntu-Server, it has been widely accepted, including a long period of support (2023), support for state-of-the-art architectures, images for minimal installations, hardware monitoring tools and solutions for Cloud. Ubuntu has always sought to stay in the state of the art of gnu / linux distributions: it has recently taken out solutions for IoT and robotics, going through solutions for drones and industrial systems, making innovation one of its priorities. So almost for any intelligent thing there is an Ubuntu to carry.
What do you dislike about the product?
should improve and facilitate the entry of programmers who maintain package distribution
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
reduction of learning time of office tools by a large number of people and considerable savings in licensing costs
Recommendations to others considering the product:
the best gnu / linux distribution to start with this operating system
A great Operating System with many uses.
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is an easy to use operating system. It is great for those starting out with Linux and want to get used to it. Ubuntu has a great package manager, Apt, which is loaded with great software that one might use personally or professionally. Ubuntu offers several different GUI spins, such as KDE (Kubuntu), LXDE (Lubuntu), and XFCE (Xubuntu), allowing one to use their favorite desktop environment without needing to install it manually.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Ubuntu is easy to use, some of the packages can be outdated, such as Nginx, which can then make it difficult to use the latest software. As your options are to compile it from source or find a repository that offers the more up-to-date package. For those new to Linux based operating systems, this can be a challenge and be discouraging.
Another issue is drivers. Linux doesn't always get the drivers needed for certain pieces of hardware to work. Off brand, or even name brand, wireless cards could end up being useless as there may not be drivers for them, or the drivers may be outdated and incompatible with the current kernel version.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Ubuntu for our servers as well as one our workstations. Ubuntu offers great stability and ease of upgrading to newer versions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are new and just getting started with Linux, Ubuntu is a great first step in making the switch. The Ubuntu community is very active and very helpful.
It Is Fast...
What do you like best about the product?
Just did a fresh install of 18.04, and oh my it's fast. Everything is so responsive, which I think is due to Ubuntu switching to GNOME. The UI is amazing (for a linux distro) and I love the software center as it allows me to easily install 3rd party apps like Spotify and Minecraft quickly. I also love that I can update the computer without ever having to restart it, and since it is open source, I dont get the spam I generally get while using Windows.
What do you dislike about the product?
I installed Ubuntu 18.04 along with Windows and I am disappointed that it didn't allow me to encrypt anything. I understand that since it is a multi-partition drive already it can't really encrypt anything, but I feel like Ubuntu should at least give me the option to encrypt my home folder which can be done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I mainly work with Intel's SGX platform and Ubuntu is one of the support platforms. It really helps with development and I
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out, it is very simple to use. Even if you don't want to install it, you can burn Ubuntu onto a USB 3.0 and boot to it and use it without ever installing it.
A world of Open Source at your fingertips!!!!!!!!
What do you like best about the product?
To start and open source learning is very intuitive and effective to adapt to a new experience. Something very important to highlight in its favor is that Windows to bring a large amount of malicious software and for the free software platform is not very common since it allows the modification of its source codes to the user's taste and the needs of this. Ubuntu allows you to install drivers and applications without the need to reboot the PC to complete the installation which is many times causing inconvenience. An ideal example of Ubuntu is Gaim / Pidgin allows you to chat with your colleagues and at the same time you can go reading a web page or a book without much effort just moving it with the mouse wheel in silence..
What do you dislike about the product?
Despite its great advantages has a deficiency at the development level is not recommended as it is more defined to end users, this leads to bring unnecessary packages that often do what they do is harm the software and tend to think and collapse the PC ... This does not facilitate good software development practices.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
100% recommended for those who want to learn more about the vulnerabilities of proprietary software such as Windows or Apple. You can have the option to migrate to this software "Ubuntu". It has a simple environment to understand and can be adapted very quickly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is important for the learning of new users of free software so that they can adapt to the new experience that this entails .... They can be intuitive and adaptable.
Nice, stable, and user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
This distribution is most definitely the best distribution for the desktop user, in that it provides for extremely simple setup and use in most cases. It's also a great distribution for server side because of the ease of use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really. Is served it's purpose for a server on a cheap box for quite some time. Can be a little tricky on onboard hardware, but it isn't going to get easier than this one. Also has a huge online community that can help solve trickier problems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm solving the problem of high server cost. Could easily support a small office server platform on a very small budget making it extremely cost effective.
The easiest to use, most popular Linux distribution
What do you like best about the product?
Runs on just about any hardware, from a $20 Raspberry Pi, to a $1000 laptop, to a high end server. I've got Ubuntu running on a Raspberry Pi, and my development machine. I've got old laptops, that are too slow for Windows, but Ubuntu runs fine on them.
Availability of apps: If a software developer _has_ a Linux version, they are very likely to have aversion that will run on Ubuntu, and very often I even find they offer an Ubuntu specific version.
Never get a virus: I store my photos, and important documents on my Ubuntu machine. I've been running Linux/Unix for nearly 30 years, and I never worry about security. I can't say the same for my Windows box.
It's powerful, flexible and configurable.
Bloatware is never an issue.
It's free. It's well supported.

What do you dislike about the product?
The screen capture tool could be easier to use. I wish it would copy to the clipboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coding software. I can code via an IDE or command line, or a mix of both.
Code repository. I use git locally, and remotely with ease on my Ubuntu box.
Deploying software. I use a combination of git and ftp.
Testing software, locally. I use a LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP), and my Ubuntu Laptop is my Development box.
One of the biggest benefits is the ability to write software without an internet connection, whenever I need to.
It's also highly configurable. I run a nodejs LAMP stack sometimes, and a native LAMP stack other times, depending on the type of project I'm working on.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you've never used Linux/Unix before, Ubuntu is definitely the right distribution to choose.
They've made it as easy to use as Windows or Mac (although I'm sure that Mac enthusiasts would disagree).
If you can't find answers on the Ubuntu forums, then StackOverflow is another good place to find answers if you get stuck.

Ubuntu the facility at your fingertips. If you want to learn!!!!
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu the facility at your fingertips. If you want to learn!
One easy way to describe Ubuntu is that you can write in one window and upload and download the contents of another. For example, Gaim / Pidgin can chat with one of your colleagues and at the same time you can read a web page or a book without much effort just by moving it with the mouse wheel in silence. This though it may seem silly can not be done in Windows. On the other hand it has a great point in its favor that is Windows to bring a lot of malicious software and for this free software is not very common since it allows to modify its source code to the user's taste and the needs of this. In context Ubuntu allows you to install drivers and applications without the need to restart the PC to complete the installation which is many times causing inconvenience.

What do you dislike about the product?
This software at the development level is not highly recommended since it is more done or dedicated for end users, therefore it has many unnecessary and even heavy packages that are not easily practiced by software development.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Today I use it to teach beginners to newbies who want to play in the world of free software to learn the basics of this type of software ... already with this notion can create an environment of inspiration for development.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend it for those people who want to learn more about the vulnerabilities of proprietary software such as Windows or Apple, the Ubuntu operating system allows them to migrate and learn more on the basis of open source. It has a simple environment to understand and can be adapted very quickly.
Ubuntu
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite thing about Ubuntu is that it works on any kind of machine, even the older ones. Since I'm a web programmer I find most useful the Nautilus' ability to open remote (server) folders as local ones and edit the files on server in place. The absence of viruses is a great plus too.
What do you dislike about the product?
Same as for Windows - I dislike the trend of adapting UI to mobile devices. Fortunately this trend is not so prominent anymore...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is safe, fast and reliable. A programmer's dream.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu is a modern, well developed OS. It is free, so why not try it.
Ubuntu for development
What do you like best about the product?
Easy transition from windows user and great for learning to program on
What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of compatible games and other programs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Better set up for developers than windows 10 is
