What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used Ubuntu for software development and machine learning as there are many free open source software for it, Ubuntu is used as a sole operating system in many companies and also it is very helpful will doing many server-side works containers There’s definitely an ease to Ubuntu that you can’t get with windows in my opinion

If you need something that gets the work done and enjoy working on a terminal instead of a graphical user interface, Ubuntu is a nice option For education and business it is best fit. It saves a ton of room on your HDD and its probably the easiest Linux OS you can download and install
Ubuntu Is a Great Desktop Distro
What do you like best about the product?
It's a very stable desktop OS that is well-supported by the community. I use it on all of my desktop Linux machines. Almost every open source and many commercial packages support Ubuntu. It's a relatively solid distro with a large hardware support list, and typically has features
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like it as a server distro. Ubuntu tends to change more during the update/upgrade process and this can lead to problems if the administrator isn't careful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It runs Java apps to serve websites.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure that your applications will run on Ubuntu and be prepared to fix things when an update (particularly a kernel update) breaks them.
It works well without any surprises
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu Server's dpkg/apt package management system is faster than competing solutions (e.g. rpm in CentOS, RHEL).
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much I don't like about Ubuntu Server. Ubuntu Desktop's Amazon affiliation (and possible telemetry?) is a concern.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I run Ubuntu Server on several servers and it works well. In particular, the integrated LXD environment for provisioning and managing containers is fantastic when you need a container to be more of a "lightweight VM" than a single-application Docker container.
Great operating system.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that It comes with software like LibreOffice and Firefox already installed. I also like the fact that there is a place with compatible software you can download built into the system. It has more GUI instead of CLI installs. It can Be installed on a flash drive and run a computer from it without affecting the computer OS.

I do not Like that it is more difficult to play windows games, though it can be done using some of the built-in applications with some setup
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use a portable version to repair computers booting into a live USB.

It's versatiliy and customizability. I use it not only as an operating system but also to boot to when a computer needs a little system help.

Back end computer repair, a sort of safe mode but with mode features.

Ubuntu
What do you like best about the product?
There are some interesting features in new distribution of Ubuntu:
* Ubuntu invites you actively on your welcome screen to use Livepatch, its system of updates that allows you to do things like patching the kernel to solve security problems without having to restart the computer.
* The configuration menu is in its best state, it is extremely direct to the point, everything is well organized and allows you to change a large number of adjustments in a simple and above all, understandable way.
* Encryption is more prominently touted in the installer, and this also means using LVM, which is not something that Ubuntu ever advertised or used.
*Ubuntu also has a new task application ("To-Do" in English), it's barely in the bones, but it also has the potential to synchronize with your Google notes.

What do you dislike about the product?
*The customization options are few or nonexistent.
*UI graphics based in Gnome 3 by default setting, no show desktop button, no taskbar or panel of any kind, no window control buttons, and lots of other simple things you need or expect - such a desktop is a complete and utter failure.
*Software management is largely broken. The USC tool gets replaced by a bag of mediocrity called Gnome Software. It's ugly, and it's useless.
*Problems with Samba connectivity.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
The truth is that there is not much to complain about, since the latest version is one of the best versions of Ubuntu that we have enjoyed in several years, and that allows us to imagine again a brilliant future of the distro for those who had become disenchanted with Ubuntu for some time.
Better than windows if you are an advanced user
What do you like best about the product?
All you can do in windows you can do it in Ubuntu or any linux distribution
Everything is almost free or open-code

What do you dislike about the product?
Is complex if you are not good in terminal or commands (you can download the desktop version , but you will need to use commands either)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making use of servers, programming, automatic tasks, integration with AD with LDAP...
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are thinking of implement something in windows paying for it, first look in Linux if you can make it for free.
