Linux has come a long way
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, attractive UI, very user friendly experience. You don't have to be a tech saavy to use a Linux distro anymore. This is as close as Windows and Mac as you can get for free.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unity. I like my old school task bar at the bottom of the screen and windows with borders and fixed action bars. Unity forces you to a Mac like experience which I, after 2 years of use, still don't feel comfortable with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Ubuntu to code.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the jump, it´s a really good alternative to Windows and Mac. Unity is a little bit obnoxious, if you´re a Mac user you´ll get used to it fast.
Personal and professional use
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Ubuntu since the first versions and it has become a stable and easy to use Linux distribution. The applications can be easily installed via repositories and you don't have to deal compiling you own applications (but you can do it if you want).
What do you dislike about the product?
This operative system has become more stable with every version, but there has been always problems updating from a version to another. This problems don't happen as much as in earlier versions but even with that, for professional use it is very recommended to use the LTS versions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
You have a free operative system, very use to install and use and compatible with a big amount of software.

None

It is continusly patched. Some old bugs still exists(full screen programs are covered by the tools bar).
