A stable and free solution that is easy to deploy and has a user-friendly GUI
What is our primary use case?
We can use the solution for browsing. We can also use it as a server and deploy and configure it as a file or web server. The use case depends on the user. I use it to deploy something which I want to test out. If I have to test out ELK Stack, I might use Ubuntu because it’s free.
What is most valuable?
The GUI is user-friendly.
What needs improvement?
The solution must provide more integrations.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution from time to time whenever I require it.

I rate the tool’s stability a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I am using the solution for my personal needs. It is possible to increase the number of users depending on who uses it.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have used Windows. I use Ubuntu only for testing purposes. Some things can only be tested on Linux.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. It takes 15 to 30 minutes to deploy the OS. The product can be used on the cloud as well. However, I have deployed it on my own laptop.
What about the implementation team?
I deployed the solution myself. We have to follow the standard OS deployment process to deploy the tool. We do not need any consultation. We might need a live CD, or we can download the image from the Internet. We can boot from the USB and just follow the instructions. It will be deployed.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
There is no licensing cost for the product.
What other advice do I have?
Ubuntu improves its products every year. Earlier, the GUI was not good, so Ubuntu improved it. They have removed the complexity of the software. My recommendation depends on people’s use cases. If someone wants to test something that is more stable on Ubuntu, they can use the solution. They can use other Linux flavors like Red Hat, too. Overall, I rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten.
Free open-source server

Being a technical and experienced person I haven't observed any dislikes related ubuntu server but yes I have observed that new folks did struggle to get used to it and feels that documentaiton cab be improved to some extent.
