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.

Operating system Review
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu server is user friendly and using to security and reliable
What do you dislike about the product?
Easy to use the server in client operations
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nothing to stare a problem in ubuntu server in any paticular area.
A good balance for an entry into open source operating systems
What do you like best about the product?
When you mention Linux to a normal user, they are very easily intimidated mentioning how complicated it is to setup and use vs Windows operating systems. Ubuntu sets out to change all of that and has perfect balance between being user-friendly while still maintaining everything Linux stands for.
What do you dislike about the product?
The newer versions of Ubuntu are now relying on better graphics hardware. While it does look nice, I wish they would go for more lighter approach for the default editions, and if required a more fancy setup for those who have the hardware.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For small and medium business enterprises, software licensing costs can be a huge burden, especially in developing countries. Ubuntu allows you to explore the world of free and open source on a native level.
Using Ubuntu in Windows
What do you like best about the product?
It's the best alternative if you do not want to install virtual machine. It's installed inside WSL which is a built-in feature from Windows itself. So we can use Ubuntu like in its native OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only minus in WSL because it does not provide a GUI for us to use. It's only like a headless ubuntu and the only way we can use is from the command. If you're new to Linux, it can be a trouble.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When we are developing something especially softwares, we want to deploy the app as soon as possible to the server. Using Ubuntu Desktop can help me to deploy faster without installing another OS.

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.
