What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the gnome implementation seems half baked. Can be a little sluggish feeling on systems with integrated graphics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
On the desktop side, it has been my operating system of choice for 15+ years. It just always works. The various flavors, especially Ubuntu Studio, offer me different configurations and features for various use cases.
On the server side, it's the only OS I will run period. The support is very good from the community and if you need it, the support options from Canonical are reasonable.

In a sea of operating systems : Ubuntu stands out.
What do you like best about the product?
Taking into consideration that one mostly or usually installs it over a Windows system (which they don't have to do & experiment it much less often), I appreciate :
i) ease of installation, update (livepatch, landscape or not).
ii) locating applications that are approved is a cinch via the software-boutique
iii) I trust Canonical to make a secure product that rivals the best out there.
iv) interesting the chose to leave the apt-get, apt but can combine with snap and others for package management.
v) landscape is a terrific product especially if combined with a remote access web interface (like dwservice).
vi) I can install it on a newbie's unit and they are up and running very quickly - the learning curb between windows 7 and ubuntu 24.04 mate is easy to overcome.

What do you dislike about the product?
I am a user but also a system administrator, so for what I do :
a) I don't find the default gnome interface as intuitive or user-friendly as Mate, LXDE or others.
b) some products don't have a smooth installation documentation even after several attemps, like OpenStack - whereas MicroStack was much more compliant.
c) my perception is that it's starts to get complicated to be a member of the various forums : ubuntu, charm, ...etc.
d) this is not a dislike, but somehow too many business will opt for redhat, when I feel they could get more with Canonical and Ubuntu.
e) I've run into issues attempting to un-install some products (openstack) as it seems to integrate deeply with many components : unlike a lighter product like virtualbox.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I need a robust yet efficient platform to : do my daily work (desktop/workstation), server administration (web, security,automation) - and not have to worry about many aspects that it take care of for me.

Ubuntu optimizes systems, resources, and capital!
What do you like best about the product?
The stability, compatibility, and optimization of resources compared to other platforms. It can be easily implemented in any system, as well as its integration into a variety of options.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve tends to be steeper for Windows users. It doesn't have much customer support, although there is a large user community.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There are problems that one benefits from since there is a large community of users that make it increasingly stable and compatible.
A Technical and Functional Approach
What do you like best about the product?
Even for beginners, the interface is clean, elegant, and easy to use. Ubuntu is based on Debian, so it is very reliable and receives frequent security updates. Apt makes software installation very easy, and Ubuntu supports Snap, Flatpak, and .deb.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some apps via Snap take a long time to open and consume more resources. And you don't always have the option to use another version. For older machines, the "standard" Ubuntu can be a bit heavy. Versions like Xubuntu or Lubuntu are lighter. Proprietary drivers (e.g., Nvidia) sometimes cause headaches. Although it has improved a lot, support can still fail in specific cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is free and open source, eliminating the need to pay for operating systems or basic software. It has a robust permissions system, making it less vulnerable to viruses and malware common in Windows. Ideal for environments that require security.
Reliable, open-source OS for developers and everyday use
What do you like best about the product?
I love how clean and user-friendly it feels, even for people switching from Windows. It’s stable, secure, and doesn’t slow down over time. Plus, the software center and terminal make installing stuff super easy
What do you dislike about the product?
Some hardware doesn't play nicely with Ubuntu right out of the box. I’ve had issues with Wi-Fi drivers or printers in the past, which can be frustrating if you’re not tech-savvy. Also, while gaming has improved, it's still not perfect compared to Windows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu gives me a stable, secure, and free environment for work and development, without the usual slowdowns or forced updates. It just works.
