Widely Adopted and a Great Support Community

  • August 25, 2019

What do you like best about the product?
Canonical takes a rather opinionated stance with its official Ubuntu flavor, regarding software. Because of this, minimal effort is required on the part of a user to get a usable system up and running. This in now way limits further customization.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the official apt repositories are mostly well maintained, there are instances where we are still building packages by hand in order to run recent versions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Picking Ubuntu as a distro to build and test on allows us to cover a very large proportion of end-users running on Linux.

Despite so many advantages, I don't find any cons in it. One thing that can be improved is its GUI.

Yes, Open Source Linux IS Business Class

What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that this software allows you to start working with it right away without having to worry about business process getting in the way. No timed trials, lots of free support, tons of online tutorials.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because it is so flexible, there are infinite number of ways to set it up. Sometimes, this can be difficult when transitioning a system from someone who does things different than you do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Many of the commercially available tools that are out there are too expensive to get up and running. With Ubuntu, I do not need to worry about the cost. I can just jump in and go! So far, I use Ubuntu to:
- network management
- BI
- documentation
- electronic forms
- workflow
- automation
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is one of those things where you simply need to feel comfortable working in the environment and you need to be confident that you will be successful along with getting the assistance that you need when things do not go your way. There is so much community support and documentation available at absolutely no cost to you for the Ubuntu operating system, there really is no reason not to go with it. The only caveat that I would put out there is that if you are using the package manager (apt or apt-get), sometimes the packages can be a little bit long in the tooth. Do take some time to ensure that the version you have installed is the right version fro you.

Ubuntu - Open source and robust OS

  • August 07, 2019

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is best operating system for programmer considering speed,command level access to OS features,also it is rarely or remotely prone to viruses.
Unlike Windows it has good softwares at free cost.
Also Ubuntu has better community than its peers.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is very less repulsive or displeasing things about Ubuntu.
One thing however to add maybe is its inability to provide gamer's a platform for playing Games.
Linux lacks a large consumer user base, which means that it might be difficult to convince mainstream developers to support the platform.

Consider installing Angular Cli.
While installing Angular Cli in Windows, I faced various issues and had no clear idea to tackle them.
Whilst on Ubuntu, I had good community to back me up.

I am a full time software developer, and I have to say: I LOVE UBUNTU. It is free and amazing. Specially its server version is light and extremely powerful with very good built in security features.

Ubuntu has a great support schedule for the system, and security patches are often issued. Ubuntu is compatible with a huge number of devices, even with tablets. In ubuntu, I very much like the fact that compared to the biggest competitor there is no need to install drivers for hardware system is ready to use after the installation, which is very easy.

Ubuntu is free. No spying services in the background. Very fast and responsible. Gnome completely fits my work flow. I really like 18.04 LTS version.

Go for it. Try it before you install it. You won't be disappointed.
