I was given a laptop with a dead SSD, so I replaced it. However, I couldn't reinstall Windows because I didn't have the original license key. I opted for Ubuntu Linux, which worked.

The Best Linux Distribution I ever saw
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a Linux distribution just like many others, it comes with utilites and apps out of the box, it feels like having any normal operating system, it's open-source, completely free to use, and it's so so lightweight, so it could be a great solution for any old laptop you got at home.
What do you dislike about the product?
Like, Ubuntu is great and I seriously have think nothing is bad about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I installed Ubuntu on my Windows laptop as Windows isn't the right operating system for advanced developers, WSL just slows your PC down and having a Linux running normally is way better.
Still the most balanced Linux Distro to date
What do you like best about the product?
Like always, Ubuntu strikes a nice balance between being user friendly while maintaining the complex linux ecosystem.
Ubuntu 22.04 is the biggest update I've seen in recent years, and brings some nice features to the table, like the revamped screenshot and recording system. The UI is the best it's ever been, it almost feels like Windows. And I don't have to go through any hassle to install GPU driver updates, the software center handles it perfectly. I also love being able to switch workspaces.
It comes with python pre-installed and the apt package manager does a good job at sticking with latest stable release. Creating and managing python interpreters, packages and virtual environments is so quick, easy and portable. It makes it so convenient for me as an AI engineer myself that uses python exclusively

What do you dislike about the product?
Battery drain is a concern when you're using a laptop. There were occasional kernel crashes when under heavy RAM usage, although this could be related to the specs I were using.
Certain UI customizations are locked until you install gnome tweaks, I feel like its completely unnecessary. Also Gnome itself being a snap package doesn't fill me with confidence. I hope they get rid of the snap store for the next release and move to synaptic or flatpak

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've been using the Ubuntu desktop LTS version exclusively for the last 2 years for all academic tasks and split the professional work with a MacOS. It was my first linux distro and I never felt like switching to a different one. It helped me get familiar with the linux environment and eventually deploy my own projects to linux cloud environements. And I can work in confidence, knowing no malware can effect my computer. In short, it's my favorite operating system, except for gaming
