Smooth, Secure, and Efficient—A Backend Developer’s Dream
What do you like best about the product?
I use Ubuntu in my daily work, and I really like it because it is very smooth, even while working with large files during development. As a backend developer, I especially like the terminal. Using the terminal, I can do almost anything on my laptop very efficiently. Ubuntu is also more secure and stable, and it doesn't have frequent bugs or crashes like Windows.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Ubuntu is that some applications are not created for Ubuntu and only work properly on Windows or macOS. Sometimes even small tasks can take longer because I need to use terminal commands and may have to run them multiple times to get the work done. Also, when I open too many applications at once, memory management is not always great, and the system may crash, but this happens very rarely.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu solves many problems related to development and deployment, and that benefits me a lot in my daily work. i like its excellent support for development tools and programming languages Most backend roles work out of the box without much setup. Since Ubuntu is open source and highly customizable, I can configure my system exactly the way I want, which improves my productivity. I also use Ubuntu as my container OS, and my deployments are done on Ubuntu as well. Because of this, I can do everything directly from the terminal, from development to deployment, which makes my workflow faster and more consistent. Another feature I really like is the three-finger swipe gesture, which allows me to switch between workspaces quickly. During development, I keep one project editor open in one workspace and another project in a different workspace, and using the three-finger swipe, I can switch instantly and work faster. Ubuntu also shows all running background applications in the status bar, so I can easily see what is running and quit any application directly from there when needed. In addition to this, Ubuntu has strong community support and documentation, so whenever I face an issue, I can quickly find a solution online. It also offers regularly updated and long-term support versions, which provide stability and security for long-term development work.

Ubuntu: A Developer's Dream OS
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how the terminal on Ubuntu is a first-class citizen, allowing me to do everything from the CLI with powerful text tools like grep, sed, awk, and jq, and it's easy to automate with bash scripts. This makes me work faster than GUI-only workflows, which is huge for debugging, logs, servers, and CI/CD. Ubuntu shines in development because these native tools aren't workarounds and provide great support for programming and SDKs like Node.js, Python, .NET, Java, and more. I appreciate that Ubuntu doesn't try to impress but strives not to break, with Long-Term Support releases and security updates without chaos, which is perfect for long-running services and serious dev work. The ease of using Ubuntu for the same OS in both local development and production, better Docker and CI/CD experiences, and easier backend and cloud deployments are significant advantages for me. Additionally, the simplicity of Ubuntu and the very easy initial setup are definite pluses.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find that battery life on laptops running Ubuntu is often worse than on Windows or macOS. The power profiles aren't always optimal, which is something that could be improved with smarter defaults and better laptop-first tuning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu solves having the same OS for development and production, provides a better Docker and CI/CD experience, and simplifies backend and cloud deployments.

Additionally, I appreciate that many other software like office tools, a PDF reader, and a media player are free and come installed with the OS, so I don't have to install them separately. The initial setup of Ubuntu was very easy, and switching from Windows to Ubuntu helped save money since Ubuntu is free.
What do you dislike about the product?
We need more themes, different fonts types like regional fonts.
