Ubuntu makes life real easy
What do you like best about the product?
Well with all my experience I could only find positive points for Ubuntu 14.04. local integrated app menus, utility launcher and also it's minimizer, locking it has never been easier, works really great with VMware, improved graphics and the speed. Very use to use and install. It's highly customizable and plus it's free. Many people around use it and know it, it is easy to find tech support and to share documents, applications with others. There are a lot less viruses on Linux Ubuntu. With kernel modules and developments coming every 6 months or so, Linux these days is highly updated in terms of hardware support. it's never been that good before. My gaming experience has changed forever. I use this with VMware to program in C, which is really great, it makes it much more faster than running on other platform. Also, it can really more faster than any other software. It's one of the stable systems because of it's latest release which is gonna long for five years, there will be no hassle for upgrading it every year. We get GNOME Terminal 3.18 and we can install any app we like.
What do you dislike about the product?
They can be better on cloud support, it can't have something like Visual Studio, hardware has to be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using it as part of my curriculum and to develop operating system in C. It's great to use that since it's much faster and lighter than most others.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Really great and easy to use. Easily customized.
Excellent OS for developers
What do you like best about the product?
All current programming frameworks and libraries provide an Ubuntu package or installer, a real time saver when you depend on it and need it to "just work". Mostly everything works as expected, and when it doesn', online support from its users is more than enough to solve almost any problem. All hardware works out of the box on any new laptop, you can even unplug your harddrive and plug it in a different machine, chances are all hardware will be detected and autoconfigured.
What do you dislike about the product?
Probably a better out-of-the box GUI with more configuration options. For example, I´d like to see a dedicated "tiling window" mode.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Very cost effective, stable and trust worthy. Each new version has a very decent end of life deadlines, and updates are fast, incremental and of course free. Migrating from one machine to another
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If unsure, just give it a shot and try the live USB version first.
The Most Accessible Linux Distro For All
What do you like best about the product?
If you are curious about Linux and not sure where to start, nothing is more accessible for beginners than Ubuntu. Marrying the UI beauty of "easier to use" OS like Mac and Windows with the Linux Kernel is exactly what you'll get here. Many users will feel right at home as soon as they reach the desktop and start working. Icons are big and beautiful, searching for files is easy to do and managing your experience is a breeze. The best part though is when you're ready to dig in deeper you can bring up the terminal and have at it. Constantly being updated and maintained and the user support on forums and such is incredible. You won't be let down!
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing is inherently wrong with Ubuntu. Again, you receive a beautiful Linux Distro with a myriad of functionality. The only thing that could possibly turn some people off is the lack of enterprise support. With that said, you probably won't run your backbone on Ubuntu and most likely use something like CentOS, Fedora and of course RedHat.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Normal productivity, web access, email, software development and databases.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Again, if you want to explore Linux and see what it's all about, this is the place to start. It's easy to install and there are tons of tutorials on Youtube you can follow on top of other lessons as well. Give it a go! You won't be disappointed.
Just wow...
What do you like best about the product?
This is the best operating system from Linux i use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it need more updates to use various packages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Ubuntu to learn system administration by using Linux.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to learn, how to use Linux OS. Ubuntu is the best way.
Ubuntu is amazing
What do you like best about the product?
I typically use the server version of Ubuntu, however I have also used the desktop version. Ubuntu is the industry leader in "common" Linux. It has the most support for the apps that are developed for the Linux world as well as a great user base and forum.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I don't agree with the release cycles for Ubuntu. Having the LTS branch does help, however if you require functionality from a non-LTS branch it can be difficult to get those features/fixes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Ubuntu primarily for docker containers and so far it has worked amazingly well.
Great System for Everyday, Development and Media
What do you like best about the product?
There are so many aspects of Ubuntu that shine. In comparison to other Linux distributions, Ubuntu has always done a good job at driver detection, having a nice library of applications installed and customization while being very easy to install.
My favorite feature is APT-GET or the Apptitude package management system which allows for easy installs, updates and good system maintenance.
I enjoy the many flavors of Ubuntu- if you want to use different windows systems like KDE, Gnome, XFCE it is VERY easy. Lately, the additions of drive encryption, migrations from other systems and backup have made the system even more robust.

What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to be able to more easily use proprietary sources and drivers. I believe this has been made easier over the years, but I don't believe this is OOB functionality yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu has been a go-to system for development, LAMP server (HTTP Deployments/Apps) and browsing the web. You get all the benefits such as "easy to use' while remaining very secure. This is also a good system to use to prolong life out of older hardware.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please try to remain active on the forums of Ubuntu.com and help the community when it comes to debugging newer hardware.
Not only has the community helped me troubleshoot issues, but I have also done my best to contribute newer hardware for different patching.
I have not used Ubuntu services aside from what is freely available and that has been above average.

We used Ubuntu for our cloud server and for our API. It was super easy to configure for the cloud server and actually compared to CentOS it was a piece of cake to use with Owncloud and Nextcloud.
