A versatile desktop for more common computing tasks
What do you like best about the product?
The UI has come along way to help the migration of Windows centric users feel at home on a non windows OS. The productivity applications are getting comprehensive too.
What do you dislike about the product?
The patching process can still be cumbersome to automate and control to the same level as Windows Operating Systems. Antivirus offerings can also be more limited than Windows or Mac offerings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We quickly needed to redeploy our backlog of older laptops with a standardized and supported Operating System at the start of 2020 to some of our employees. The organization required this in response to the Covid 19 lockdowns and many users not having suitable hardware in their homes. It is important to note most of our business and productivity apps are SaaS-delivered, so we had limited to no issues with application compatibility.
Good for all your DevOps needs
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu Server is free and customizable. This means that it is suited to satisfy most needs. Ubuntu Server supports many commonly used software, which can be used to quickly set up anything from a web server to a local network storage system. It is simple to deploy on any piece of hardware or within a virtual machine.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a variety of supported versions of Ubuntu Server. While this is typically not an issue due to the level of community support, there can be times where a certain configuration or software does not work as well on one version of Ubuntu as it would another. This can lead to issues where you have a system that half works perfectly on one version and half works perfectly on another version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I utilize Ubuntu Server for many different purposes. Primarily, I use it to develop, test, and deploy various web servers, but I have also used it as a local network storage management system. I often use it to test Docker images that provide easy to deploy services that I want to evaluate.
You can' t go wrong with this Beauty

In recent Ubuntus, the UI has become much better again. I like the colors and the software of the the normal desktop install. It' s NOT cluttered, there is easy scaling for any laptop and it works well in a VM.
What do you dislike about the product?
Still a bit heavy. I'd like the topbar to have an easy scaling method. For all the rest, wow, Open Source has proven it's here to stay. Xubuntu and some other derivatives are speedier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's a free system. I can use it in VMs on a powerful Chromebook; this gives me programs I can not load in Crostini and need for my job as a linguist, really!!

Ubuntu is flexible, customizable, fast and light weight as compared to some other systems. Ubuntu is easy to install, easy to maintain. It can easily integrate with other softwares and if it can't the. there is always a version of it or software be ran thru wine.
What do you dislike about the product?
Users need to be very familiar with Unix or else it will be hard to get around the system. The OS GUI is still a bit clunky. Typically I always customize the graphical interface to meet my needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu solves my budget and tuning cost. I can run web servers, report servers and database systems without much complications. Of course everything still ties to the underlying hardware but if I need to deploy on production mode then I can always move the OS image to a VM that has powerful specs. Another great benefit to running Ubuntu is that it is already Unix based so running or converting tools from other Unix based OS is not that hard.
