Super Stable
What do you like best about the product?
I really like that ubuntu is a super stable os that can have really long uptimes. The low resource consumption is also something that I really enjoy. I can take old hardware that is super slow with windows, throw ubuntu on it and it is about one billion times faster than it was before. The ability to customize anything you want on it too is also something that I really really like.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dont like how some software is only supported if you meet certain requirements. Some software is also hard to run on linux or is not even available for linux. Additionally, sometimes you have to find/enable really obsure settings to get things to work properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using this as my main day to day driver and on all of my servers. It costs significantly less to run everything too. I can also virtualize many instances of the OS and not have to fork money over to Microsoft for all of the licenses that you normally would have to.
Great linux distro and a gateway to linux world
What do you like best about the product?
Everything feels smoother, cleared, a bug-free, add-free environment that really allows us to focus on whatever that is needed to be done. Much more secured that windows os. No need to install tons of software to defend virus.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although there are alternating apps for every occasion. But sometimes as a windows user, you need the exact app. You could run it via wine but it's just extra hassle.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For students, the desktop version is highly recommended as it is the gateway to the Linux world. With the free os, one can run a full-fledged enterprise-grade web server, mail server without an issue. The community is very rich, which allows you to solve any issue with a blink of an eye.
A Dearest Distro in the Linux World
What do you like best about the product?
Primarily Ubuntu is Debian-based, the one best to start as an alternative on desktops. The OS has evolved over the years. Canonical has given the best touches to the OS in the terms of changes to the network manager, snap store, LTS, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu has been there for a long time trying to push the OS to the desktop segment. It had a head start, but Canonical still has not made an interest to participate with OEMs for a wider device driver pool. Still, I do not have a driver available for my version of the Elan fingerprint sensor. In cloud, it has made the identity, but never tried to address the desktop segment even though there were enough tries to accommodate itself in the same.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I consider ubuntu as an alternative to Windows in the desktop environment. At the same time using it as a reliable OS on the cloud.
Amazing OS and available for free
What do you like best about the product?
One of the amazing things is that It is open source and hence available for Free. It is highly customizable. We can customize according to our needs. You can use any theme that may be macOS, Windows, and even a mix of multiple themes. You can control all the networking and server aspects, which are essential for any developer to work. These things become very much tricky when we use other operating systems like Windows. Ubuntu is one of the widely used distros worldwide, so you can quickly get community support for the problem you plan to fix.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, they do get brake automatically when they are dual booted with Windows. They don't have good disk recovery settings if the PC is not closed in an appropriate way or sudden power cut of the pc, which can ultimately lead to breaking the operating systems and need to be reinstalled only. Sometimes the processes are not very well managed by the Kernel and require a force stop by the power button. This makes the OS irresponsive to the heavy software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I mostly use Ubuntu for development. The web application requires frequent managing of different servers and availability of different ports that a developer can manage easily and make them available according to its requirements. These features help to develop the applications faster and in a much cleaner way. I increased my productivity because of the comfortable support available for all the problems that we usually face.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are many Linux based distros available in the market, but Ubuntu is one of the user-friendly distros and is good for the beginners. If you are planning to switch to a Linux based operating system. I would highly recommend installing this operating system.
Safer Faster Better
What do you like best about the product?
I like the safety. No virus, no hang. Especially for developers or corporates should use Ubuntu only. At first, it may feel difficult but once you know how to use you can do anything.
What do you dislike about the product?
The softwares that are availble for windows or mac are not supported by ubuntu. I have to learn Ubuntu and master it to use it properly. No for beginners and gamers. Also, I have an issue with the available apps. Secondly, when I download some apps they are not fully supported by Ubuntu.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am doing my day to day office works. From designing to making reports, doing programming, watching movies and many more.. it makes my work easier.
A nice linux distrubution preconfigured for beginners
What do you like best about the product?
This operating system can be used without prior Linux terminal knowledge and has very good compatibility with most of the software regularly used in IT and Office environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Perhaps the default configurations could be improved, so the user could provide more inputs during the installation. While the configuration is easy, Ubuntu could be inproved by having a more comprehensive GUI configuration process and manual.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a free operating system with fewer bugs than Windows and that I can easily fix without calling support. With Ubuntu we can finally drop significantly maintaining licensing costs related to Microsoft product such as Active Directory Microsoft 365 and many other software that anyway don't work at all on Linux based operating system. Furthermore, the system is very straightforward to start with even for non-tech related workforce, I trully believe that such a software should be wildspread in all public workforce as it is ammoral to use tax payers' money for commercial products such as Microsoft ones when free public alternatives exist. Especilly that there is close to no learning curve.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go ahead; it's very simple and straightforward. I recommend to skip the configuration part and to simply look for resource material online to strenghten your knowledge of the product. It may look easy when you start with, but it's yet a complete Linux distribution allowing you to go as far as you wish in your understanding of the OS.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

The libre office is not as effective so for that I sometimes need to use window to work on ms office.
