Good for the most control for users
What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to install what I want without any obstacles.

There tends to be a lot of driver issues when using Ubuntu. It cannot handle my Bluetooth headphones switching between devices. If my headphones connect to my phone while they are connected to my computer, it will never switch back to my computer unless I disconnect my phone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu gives me finer control over the programs on my computer and installing them unlike Windows or Mac. This allows me to do what I want with my workspace and allows me to work efficiently.
Ubuntu has a good community, availability of packages and resources

The ability to use various packages for development and security testing. The frequency of security updates also feels safer to use the platform compared to other we use in our work space.

As a primary windows user, the missing of drivers and common functionalities makes the user experience a tad bit difficult to navigate but with the inclusion of desktop environments some of the issues might be resolved.

In our organization, we have multiple windows environment for various purpose.

My experience with Ubuntu
What do you like best about the product?
Excellent and friendly, especially for developers but also for everyday users. You have complete control of everything, and at the same time, all come ready to use. Fast install.

There are still problems with running some software that is made for windows, but all the common ones work, is just some games and specific rare software that bring trouble.

I think it is the best free alternative; they are constantly updating it and making it better, is wildly used and reliable. I use it as a friendly interface to develop software and surf the web.
A user-friendly operating system that resuscitated an old laptop computer
What do you like best about the product?
To put things into context, we installed Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 LTS to replace Windows 10 on an Asus A43S laptop (purchased in 2014), which was running unacceptably slowly. In addition to changing the laptop's operating system to Ubuntu Desktop, we replaced the stock spinning hard drive with a used Crucial MX500 SATA solid-state drive (SSD), which we pulled from one of our other personal computers. We did not increase the laptop's memory (4 GB).
What we like best:
1. Installing Ubuntu Desktop from a bootable USB thumb drive was straightforward and quick, except when setting up the Livepatch service (see below). The laptop's hardware was automatically configured such that everything worked flawlessly without additional intervention on our part, e.g., the keyboard, trackpad, and wifi card.
2. Ubuntu Desktop requires fewer resources than Windows 10 to run smoothly. Changing the operating system to Ubuntu Desktop has sped up the laptop's boot-up time (under 20 seconds) and made it more snappy in everyday operations, e.g., opening files and folders, web browsing, and opening and closing applications.
3. The suite of applications included in the "normal installation" of Ubuntu, as opposed to the "minimal installation," met our needs. Nevertheless, we installed Google Chrome and VLC media player due to familiarity with these two software applications. The installation of these two applications was straightforward and similar to that on Windows 10.
4. Ubuntu Desktop's graphical user interface is user-friendly. The default modified GNOME desktop environment is intuitive and efficient on our laptop's 14-inch display.
5. Many articles and videos that address everyday tasks, such as installing the operating system, executing terminal commands, and adding and removing software applications, are available on the Internet.

What do you dislike about the product?
Despite several attempts, we could not set up the Canonical Livepatch service during installation. The rest of the installation process went smoothly without a hitch.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our laptop was practically unusable in its stock configuration and while running on Windows 10. With Ubuntu Desktop (with a hardware upgrade to an SSD), we could revive this laptop to such an extent that it now operates like any of our other computers equipped with current hardware. In this way, Ubuntu Desktop has helped to save us the expense of purchasing a new laptop computer while still functioning like a modern mainstream personal computer.
Best OS I have ever seen
What do you like best about the product?
Firstly it is open source software, that's the best thing, we could do all the modifications that we need according to end users priority and it is very secure than windows operating system
What do you dislike about the product?
It is less user friendly than windows operating systems, it requires commands to do certain tasks and not everyone couldn't do that. People with less technical knowledge users may have trouble
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Firstly cost effective, we can save lots of money by using Ubuntu and it is less prone to errors and very faster so it will increase the productivity and performance
Highly recommend for company and students

Ubuntu - the developer first OS
What do you like best about the product?
The power we have while using Ubuntu is unimaginable. It is as if we are the creators of the software. The ability to customize it as we want and the ease with which we can install third-party software is simply superb.
What do you dislike about the product?
Well, there is something which I don't like a bit. It is the amount of power the user has while using it. When the user doesn't know much about all those commands and if they simply run commands found online without much knowledge of them will not be good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem that Ubuntu is solving is, it is taking away all the unnecessary (or too much) graphics from the user which is present by default in a few other software. It is giving that option to the user and is letting them decide what they want.
Super fast and open source OS for developers
What do you like best about the product?
Most of our system runs on Ubuntu. It is a free and open-source OS for everyone. The best thing about Ubuntu is its accessibility through the terminal. We can do every tasks through the terminal, which can be done in Windows. This OS is the best practitioner of coding for developers. It is easy to use and a super fast OS. We can customize it as per our needs too.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu is a little bit hard for Windows users. It is not designed for non-IT people as this operating system has no graphical interface. It is totally run over the terminal or coding interface. Other than that, I don't think it has any flaws in this operating system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly in my company, we work on Ubuntu as it is a powerful OS without GUI interface. The non-IT person didn't interfere with the technical person's work, as Ubuntu is a secured OS due to its terminal interface. It is cost-effective too. Ubuntu operating system is providing professional growth and becoming more productive day by day.
Review on Ubuntu Desktop
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu OS is an excellent platform for work. It doesn't catch viruses, and we can access the core of each installation file, which is very helpful in making it customized based on our needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The folder structures that adhere after installing any software are not much appreciated. Since ubuntu Linux is worked mostly on terminals, people who do not know the terminal commands might find it difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Many software like OpenFOAM is compatible only with Ubuntu. Although it works with windows, it lacks some files or is slow. Along with OpenFOAM, I have worked with many software in Ubuntu.
