Ubuntu
What do you like best about the product?
There are some interesting features in new distribution of Ubuntu:
* Ubuntu invites you actively on your welcome screen to use Livepatch, its system of updates that allows you to do things like patching the kernel to solve security problems without having to restart the computer.
* The configuration menu is in its best state, it is extremely direct to the point, everything is well organized and allows you to change a large number of adjustments in a simple and above all, understandable way.
* Encryption is more prominently touted in the installer, and this also means using LVM, which is not something that Ubuntu ever advertised or used.
*Ubuntu also has a new task application ("To-Do" in English), it's barely in the bones, but it also has the potential to synchronize with your Google notes.

What do you dislike about the product?
*The customization options are few or nonexistent.
*UI graphics based in Gnome 3 by default setting, no show desktop button, no taskbar or panel of any kind, no window control buttons, and lots of other simple things you need or expect - such a desktop is a complete and utter failure.
*Software management is largely broken. The USC tool gets replaced by a bag of mediocrity called Gnome Software. It's ugly, and it's useless.
*Problems with Samba connectivity.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
The truth is that there is not much to complain about, since the latest version is one of the best versions of Ubuntu that we have enjoyed in several years, and that allows us to imagine again a brilliant future of the distro for those who had become disenchanted with Ubuntu for some time.
Operating System for Programmers and Developers
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu comes loaded with a lot features which can help programmers and developers. It uses very less resources of my computer which enables me to run my desktop application smoothly without any lag or disturbance. It gives me the ability to control all my processes and it has an amazing interface. It is best for Full Stack Development and the best part is that it is open source.
Ubuntu is best Linux distribution for Application Development, Web Development and Competitive Programming.

What do you dislike about the product?
It is more of a command line interface, so Windows GUI is much better than it. The booting time can be slower and we have to configure it a lot to do certain tasks which we can easily do in Windows Operating System. It is hard to to use for new user due to it's complicated structure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are currently doing our Full Stack Web Development work in Ubuntu for our company. It is mainly developed from Development point of view which makes it a suitable Operating System for any type of Development Purposes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are focusing on development, then you must start using Ubuntu. It can make your work a lot easier and you can feel it's power in comparison to Windows. It is the best Operating System for Web development and Application Development.
An operating system for developers
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity. Everything is simple, from installing all you required software using the distribution package manager, to customizing your user account. The operating system doesn't get into your way so you can focus on getting your tasks done.
What do you dislike about the product?
Diversity. There's too much choice, but this is related to Linux in general. In my opinion, having fewer, but better tools for doing the same task would allow to concentrate efforts, getting a better product overall.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Ubuntu as a workstation for software developers. We benefit from a developer friendly environment, all kind of tools and programs, and ease of use. And it's also open source and free of charge.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can test this software on your computer without installing it, to get a taste of it. Be aware, however, that performance won't be as good as if it was installed and properly configured with the best suitable drivers for your hardware.
Better than the rest
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is very elegant and intuitive. The terminal and command line are also super intuitive and easy to use. It is completely free and the support is very good. The operating system is very stable and easy to configure and use.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I don't like. I've been using Ubuntu since school, up to today, and even when some clients ask me, I recommend it without a doubt.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu has made our workers learn about the Linux world in a very easy way. And it has provided us with many tools that we couldn't obtain in Windows and almost all for free.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are using another "open source" system, I advise you to switch to Ubuntu. It offers many more facilities than any other and also offers hundreds of free programs, all of which are "open source" so you have the convenience of using them as you like without restrictions like in Windows. So I advise you to switch to Ubuntu without thinking twice.
Ubuntu User Experience
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is the most user friendly distro among the entire Linux ecosystem. Over the year, many improvements have been brought to the User Interface and now with Ubuntu 18.04, things have completely changed. Many bugs have been fixed, UI has been fine tuned to suit even a beginner user and thus the learning curve for Linux has become linear now with Software Centre providing apps for all your daily needs.
Comparing with windows, would definitely recommend Ubuntu as a go-to solution for all your speed problems. Unlike windows, this Operating System doesn't get slow with time and process management is very efficient, thus your PC runs very smoothly.
Finally, for those geeks out there, you already know working with terminal is the best experience. You can practically control every aspect of the Operating System since it's open source and speaking of security, there are very less virus attacks that happen on Ubuntu since the package installation process and root system architecture is very secure.

What do you dislike about the product?
>At the initial phases of Ubuntu, the user experience was bad with the learning curve too steep, but with the recent releases this gap has been filled.
>There are still some bugs that pop out rarely that interfere with hardware like Bluetooth which depends on device.
>For the GAMERS out there, I WOULD NOT recommend Ubuntu for you. Windows is the best option for you as a wide list of games are supported there. In Ubuntu only lite games are supported.
>Many apps are still not present in Ubuntu like iTunes which can be a problem to apple users.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest benifit through Linux Distros like Ubuntu is at the server side. Since it being lite and has a wide compatibility it can be used in the clouds and IoT very well.
Then, it is a biggest boon for the programmers since a wide array of libraries, languages and IDEs are supported with the added advantage of Terminal.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make the switch now. Thank me Later! And if you're stuck on anything, there's a huge developer community for Ubuntu out there and I'm sure your problems would be solved in a breeze.

Is complex if you are not good in terminal or commands (you can download the desktop version , but you will need to use commands either)

Although Common Always Changing
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about this product is that it has a wide user base so that if you every get into trouble the answer is usually a quick Google away
What do you dislike about the product?
What I really don't like is that the back end keeps changing on what Ubuntu include and what they don't or just basically how they do things changes from one LTE version to the next
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are utilizing this in our labs and as they are labs we are trying to keep the cost down and hence why Ubuntu and not Redhat (yes we could have used Centos but here we are use to the Debian flavour hence Ubuntu)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Each Company needs to select its own flavor of Linux if it chooses to go down that path
