Linux Ubuntu Administrator
What do you like best about the product?
In Ubuntu you can be writing in one window and moving up and down the content of another. For example, you can be talking by Gaim / Pidgin with a friend and reading a web page by moving it with the mouse wheel quietly. This silly thing can not be done in Windows. Windows only knows how to do one thing at a time, and you have to have the window selected (focused) if you want to scroll through it, which forces you to be changing all the time from one window to another when they speak to you (damn Alt + TAB) . In Ubuntu you can install drivers and applications quietly because it is not necessary to restart the PC to complete the installation. This is not that it is a virgin, since the 60's has been doing. I do not know why Windows forces the user to restart countless times for anything he does. It is really horrible and exasperating (and it makes you lose the tails of the eMule!).
What do you dislike about the product?
Didactic images are missing to motivate children to use this great operating system, should include games that motivate young people to use it. When working with complex Windows documents, it could become a difficult or almost impossible task due to the low compatibility to import from Windows for Linux, to date there are products that do not have compatibility in the different operating systems that we use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my work, it was migrated to ubuntu because it is a free technology and no more prized licenses from other companies were requested, which saved money for the company in which I work, besides being easy to learn for all employees of the same company. .
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This distribution is excellent for the implementation of PostgreSQL as a database manager, as well as a good relationship with Apache as a Web server and an important management in servers for the administration of networks such as ProxySquid and DHCP.
Awesome linux distribution to use for any type of development. Linux is amazing!
What do you like best about the product?
So clearly everybody should already know that linux is a very powerful platform as-is. Ubuntu makes it infinitely times better. Ubuntu is one of the few platforms that has a really developed and well-researched user interface, while other linux distributions remain only useable in the form of a command line. Because of this, Ubuntu captures both audiences: Those that are familiar and capable of using a computer in a command-line only environment, and those that aren't familiar or comfortable with it quite yet. Linux can be really tough, but Ubuntu is a great place to start for those that aren't familiar.
What do you dislike about the product?
Linux an be tough a lot of the time. I feel that there isn't enough coverage and help with dealing with bugs and other issues that come when trying to install average apps that would be so simple to install on other operating systems like Windows and macOS. Also, when it comes to practicality, Ubuntu is tough because it is after all targeted at developers, which makes it really hard to use because of incompatible general drivers for sound, display, etc...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My organization uses a server-side distribution of Ubuntu for our entire application backend. It is very quick, efficient, and practical for a solution that we need. It is simply the best-developed, most affordable professional solution for the problem we are trying to solve, which is why it outcompetes all of its competitors.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For others using Ubuntu, please plan ahead and make considerations for support for the products you are planning to use. While it is unlikely that the library or application you are planning to use will not support Ubuntu, it is still good to double-check.
There is always a good way to start
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu comes with features that will make you forget about proprietary software, whatever your user level is; you will always find positive answers in this distribution. I have tried Ubuntu at home, at my job and the answer is always reliable. It must be clear that there must be learning on the part of the user, since the experience will be better and better as you explore the options. However, there is no need to have much prior knowledge for its use, there will always be a software purist with criticism, but it will be easy to dismiss due to the wide variety of possibilities offered by the distribution.
What do you dislike about the product?
Far from being a negative factor, we must know that migrating to free systems requires training of personnel, time, and money. For certain work environments it can bring delays in processes, even if it is a progressive measure. On a personal level, learning can go on its own and at an appropriate pace, but when there is a responsibility involved, everything changes. I also recommend reviewing the features of our equipment, to ensure a more fluid experience, if we have low-resource teams, there are more friendly distributions than the main Ubuntu, and it would be more advisable to try one of them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We decided to abandon proprietary software, and we moved to open source, after evaluating options we decided on Ubuntu distributions, in its basic package includes what we need from the current office tools to perform the daily work. The administrative work has been carried out without much inconvenience, except the proper training of the staff in the use of this new tool, which far from being a problem, gives experience to the workers and it can be used outside the office.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The first thing u have to do, is to stop thinking about your current operating system, you will always end up looking to stay with it, I recommend starting with Ubuntu for basic things, a multimedia experience of an afternoon, and little by little adding others, with this you guarantee that your test of the Ubuntu’s characteristics, is an enriching and complete experience.
Light(ening fast) and secure
What do you like best about the product?
It’s plug and play allows it to be used on almost any machine.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be more user friendly and needs more UI features to reach non technical population as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It’s light and secure. So it’s runs of on available systems. Which basically allows to work from any system and even if the system runs into an issue, recovery time is fast.
Ubuntu as an alternative
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Ubuntu is that it is rather lightweight but still very functional. As it is open sourced, it is free to use and a great alternative for those who don’t want to purchase an OS license.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times, navigation and general operation isn’t very intuitive. While this is a necessity for stability and security, it can be a challenge if not for the great user community to help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main use of Ubuntu in our organization is development and production roll outs of various in-house built applications. This resulted in cost savings as we were able to mitigate downtime and risk.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu isn’t as daunting as one may think and is one of the better Linux distrust available.
Ubuntu Review
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Ubuntu often at work for the past 5 years. I really like that it has a built in GUI interface for those times where you don't want to navigate using the command line. I also like that it is compatible with almost every type of neuroimaging software that I need to use at work. I also really like that there is a lot of information available for trouble shooting. Simple internet searches typically provide an instant fix to any error that arises.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I dislike that, in order to get the most functionality out of your computer, you have to use the command line. I also dislike that there isn't a number to call in the instance of something terrible occurring like with apple or windows. 99% of the time this isn't an issue because of all of the online resources available but it may deter users who might need instant fixes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it to process MR data and run statistical analyses. Sometimes, but rarely, I use it to write. I also use it for internet searches because it is much faster than my regular computer. I've also used it to program stimuli for presentation at my former lab at UNLV. We tried to use windows for presentation and data collection but were unable to get the stimuli to display with millisecond precision. Thus, we had to use Ubuntu.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend Ubuntu because it is fast and stable. Any problem that you've encountered is likely online with detailed descriptions of how to fix it. Overall, this is a great open source (and free) software; however I do recommend taking the option to donate to their cause when downloading ,
Best OS for Development

Easy, Fast, and Secure
What do you like best about the product?
Console, Memory Usage, users community, Security, shortcuts and speed. All those features works to increase the user's productivity.
What do you dislike about the product?
The old GUI is a hodgepodge of weird colors, but is very efficent and easy to use and you can choose another versions like ubuntu Gnome, Kde Ubuntu, Ubuntu Mate, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used to code in ubuntu, so all my dev tools are supported and more easily accessed by the console.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For developers is a great choice because ubuntu already comes with some basic tools like git, some compilers, a text editor, and you can easily install the software you need through console or software center.

Ubuntu is a nice linux distribution, nice interface, great performance. Nice for starting on linux world
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu sometimes get sluggish in older machines because of the intensive visual effects, if you don't have a compatible video card out of the box. Sometimes get short of server or administrative features.
