Review for Ubuntu
What do you like best about the product?
Customizability, ease of installation of packages, community support
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be hard to troubleshoot issues sometimes out of the box - usually requires additional setup to be able to properly diagnose. Open source also means if you're the first one to have a particular problem that there might not be support. Huge shift coming from windows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Use for most linux servers which are the preferred server we use now.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Research the solutions you want to implement using Ubuntu and make sure they have good community support or even paid support (just in case!). Ubuntu has been a great linux platform for us.
Great OS for work and Personal use
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the bare bones aspect of this operating system. It does not have all the other junk software that is not needed. Also the ease of access tool being on the side is helpful for fast use. The names are always interesting like most Linux based OS's. As well I use Ubuntu at home for when i build systems to be able to easier setup everything Vs windows OS. Over all i strongly recommend this to anyone who enjoy Linux.
What do you dislike about the product?
some features would be nice to make commands easier to run as another user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The fact of the sheer size of the OS shaves allot of time off over all installation and setup.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check into the specific version they offer to meet your specific needs.
Good OS
What do you like best about the product?
Well to be brutally honest, it is not the best in OSs, but still it manages to be the best in Open source OSs. The OS is comparable to MacOS or Windows in user experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
Bugs and a the UI. There should be good bug fixes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's open source and hence it's free. No need to pay extra for software!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Well the OS is really good
My experience with Ubuntu
What do you like best about the product?
It's fast, simple, Robust and it is free
What do you dislike about the product?
Little to no hardware support.The installation process is daunting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used it for coding (Java). NetBeans was run on it. The speed when compared to MS products and the reliability, quick startup, the simple interface were the positives. To the point simply put.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be prepared to do things by yourself (with help from Google)! Little to no support and not popular with common users. The initial few days of my experience with Ubuntu was full of trying to learn the basic stuff. One needs some time getting into the groove. Google was my only savior as most people go with the MS products. Once I got a grip on it, it was really an amazing experience. Definitely, has its advantages though, which is vast!
The best operating system
What do you like best about the product?
It mimics Apple's OS in look and feel, but without all of the related issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
You definitely need to have a solid understanding of filesystems and how to locate things - that was the largest barrier to entry for me. Once you develop this knowledge and learn to work a little at the command line, you're good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For digital forensics work, I use Ubuntu to run a bunch of open source software. Ubuntu definitely makes it easier to access and use these tools. I also used Ubuntu in my previous job to connect into the server in order to deposit files there for long-term storage. Ubuntu offers better security than other OSs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learn some basic commands and get comfortable moving around the computer in a new way. User forums for Ubuntu are a *major* help whenever you're stuck, so just grab error messages and put them into Google and you should find a solution pretty quickly. Listservs and dedicated groups have also been a help when using specific tools - depends on your use case, but there are a lot of people in the open source community who are eager to help.
hands down the best linux distro for linux-newbies and the most user friendly linux distro available
What do you like best about the product?
its simplicity and it's easy to learn and to get used to
What do you dislike about the product?
the fact that it is constantly updated defines that ubuntu is not a stable distro (it is good for everyday use), but i'd rather use other distros such as centOS for servers
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ubuntu provides an open source operating system for its users to use, therefore allowing its users to change the OS based on their needs, without worrying about legal actions
review on ubuntu

1.Ubuntu is more stable.
2.You are free from Viruses so you don’t have to buy another upgrade of Norton or any other Antivirus software.
3.When you have installed Ubuntu, you don’t have to install anything else to get you started with your productivity.

What do you dislike about the product?
1.The new Unity calculator app. The old one (ie prior to Ubuntu 10.10) was pretty much perfect. I'm sure there's a reason why it was swap for the ultra basic (and useless) one that's still provided 3 years later.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
every business has serious knock-on effects in the graceful failure department. Ubuntu's Software Centre can be instructed to spit out a simple list of all the apps ("packages" in Ubuntu-speak) you've installed. Any time you need to set up a new machine or recover an old one, you simply feed the list to the package manager and it will fetch all your apps and install and configure them without any further intervention.
Ubuntu is the best first linux OS
What do you like best about the product?
Customize options are great, the fact that I can choose between KDE, gnome, mate, etc.. Gives the user freedom and convenient, also there are lot's of free apps to install from the store or from apt-get.
My favorite thing about ubuntu is it's hardware compatibility out of the box

What do you dislike about the product?
If you don't know linux it may be hard to get use to
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most our servers are linux based running on ubuntu, it's easy to install and easy to maintain and troubleshoot.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
depends what are your needs, if you comfortable ubuntu is great as a desktop OS and as a server
Simple while I need simple tasks
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of installation of the system and practicality of performing the exchange of drivers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Continuous error messages since there are no errors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A system that allows me to have a development environment quickly and practically.
The most user friendly linux distro
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is the most popular linux distro and because of that, it has good support. There is an entire section of stackoverflow dedicated to Ubuntu. So I like that any problem I run into can probably be solved without too much hacking.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe this is just a problem with package managers in general, but apt-get and/or aptitude is just trash.
It breaks all the time. You always have to delete some lock file. Installing software and managing dependencies should not be as hard as it is.
I also don't like Unity, but luckily they are going to get rid of it. I use gnome metacity, and I wish it had more customization than it does.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use ubuntu as a development platform. I use it at work, and I use it at home. Its good for open source work. Most of the time is spent in a browser anyways, so when I am writing code, I prefer the linux environment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It requires a lot of tweaks, but eventually it will be the best development environment for you.
If you are a web developer, you might consider mac instead.. but ubuntu can be equally great for web dev.
Ubuntu also has some weird bugs here and there, so you need understand the basics of linux, such as mounting, and the grub, and filesystem organization, stuff like that. You can use ubuntu and not be a power user, but understanding these things really helps if you have an issue. Ubuntu can run on really low tier hardware too. If you want a server, I'd definitely recommend ubuntu server
