ubuntu for developers
What do you like best about the product?
ubuntu is better than windows for the developer point of view i think every developer should use either mac or ubuntu
What do you dislike about the product?
it dont have thats much easy software installation like windows
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ubuntu is good to use
Ubuntu allows me to run all the applications I need
What do you like best about the product?
I think the fact that Ubuntu is open source is something I really like about it. It not only saves software costs dramatically, but it can also handle running most of the business software I use such as word processing applications, spreadsheet editors and web-based collaboration tools. I can get on the internet very smoothly by connecting to wifi networks as I would on a Windows or Mac computer.
What do you dislike about the product?
There aren't as many software selections compared to more popular operating systems like Windows and Mac. The user interface takes some time to get used to, especially for users that are accustomed to other operating systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can use Ubuntu to run all the applications I need for work and also browse the internet and visit all the websites I need to for conducting business. Using an open source operating system helps me to reduce costs on software. I can get all the latest updates without having to constantly pay fees. I have also had fewer malware infections compared to when I used Windows.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you don't have to download and install software that is particular to operating systems like Windows and Mac, Ubuntu might be a good operating system that can save you money and run smoothly.
Ubuntu
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing i like in Ubuntu is it free and most of the applications that it run also free , Ubuntu is easily customizable unlike other Linux distros where you need to do a lot of configurations , it is more secure , you can even run Ubuntu from a live USB with out installing that one of the coolest feature where you can carry your operating system on a pen drive and can connect to your workstation anytime , and it is better suited for development purpose because Ubuntu offers a lot of open source applications/tools that are required to develop a project. Also Ubuntu terminal is the best because it comes with preinstalled and default support with bash and many other commands that are supported on servers, local files etc., and Ubuntu is a Hardware friendly it can run on older hardware with easy unlike in other operating systems except Linux Distro. Now Ubuntu comes with GNOME 3 Desktop environment looks cool than before. And finally the forum that is available for Ubuntu is simply awesome where you can find solutions for almost every problem that you have encountered with Ubuntu.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu is a powerful and improved user experience but it still carry lags sometimes. also Ubuntu doesn't support modern games shows poor graphic quality. With my experience Ubuntu doesn't support NVIDIA G force Graphic drivers in a dual booted laptop .also Ubuntu doesn't comes per-installed in modern laptops user needs to install it. Also driver support for Ubuntu is less compared to other operating systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly i use Ubuntu to get experience in Linux commands and its environment . I use Apache Hadoop (HDFS) to process big data computations on Ubuntu and with ubuntu library support Map reduce programs can be execute easily .
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for an Linux distro that is secured ,more available packages and want to develop something then you should try Ubuntu .
Good Linux Based OS and Server
What do you like best about the product?
I am using Centos now for a lamp stack. There are some configurations I could not initiate with Ubuntu that is why I switched with Centos.
I used Ubuntu before mostly not as a workstation but as a server. It is quite good but there are some configurations I could not sort out with my reconfigured lamp stack and another server using nginx as a reverse proxy.
When I use Ubuntu as a workstation, it is excellent. Most of the available repositories are okay and not much of a hiccup unlike other Linux based OS specific for workstations.

Our Go To OS for server needs

Performance, reliability and constant security updates are some of the best features. Using it on servers and desktops makes it awesome and makes production and development environment as close as possible. Available software selection make it a lot easier to use and integrate.

As its majorly different from most of the people's choice of OS, it's really difficult to get people to get started on the platform.

We use ubuntu on all our server to host our and client applications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Using your servers is awesome, using it on the desktop is also good, but there are not lot of choices of first-party devices that run Ubuntu or ubuntu approved hardware.
