The tool's valuable feature is its pro security features. I also like the way it serves the infrastructure. The main thing is that each new update or version ensures it comes out with zero vulnerabilities—no high, medium, or low vulnerabilities.
Ubuntu Linux's main benefits are its ease of use and the large number of available packages. Additionally, it benefits from regular patching.
I want more insights and security features in the pro version, specifically activities and vulnerabilities. When releasing a new version, it's crucial to ensure no vulnerabilities. Sometimes, a new version may have minor vulnerabilities, like one medium and one low. These typically take about two weeks to resolve. More regular patching, especially addressing security vulnerabilities, is essential to improve.
I have been using the solution for many years.
I rate Ubuntu Linux's deployment an eight out of ten. We encountered some version issues.
I am quite happy with the tool's scalability. My company has 50 users who use it regularly.

We work with Alpine Linux and offer them to enterprises as well. Compared to other operating systems, Ubuntu Linux is easier to use and has more up-to-date packages. It also has more packages in the repository. However, Ubuntu Linux sometimes bundles many unnecessary packages, making it difficult to strip down the OS to make it more secure.
Ubuntu Linux's deployment is easy. We usually spin it up with scripts. We have many scripts for various tasks, including updates and backups, and it didn't take much to put them together. We spend less than half an hour to get a basic setup, and then we can deploy within minutes. We have about two employees handling maintenance and patching on a yearly basis for many applications. That's more than sufficient.
I rate the overall product a nine out of ten. I would recommend it to other companies and users. It's a very good OS, although it sometimes requires some effort to deploy applications.

Windows can automatically detect the drivers of new devices, and you can easily use them in the Windows system. Ubuntu Linux does not easily detect the drivers of new devices, and you need to do some trial and error for some of the third parties porting into it.
Ubuntu Linux should improve its embedded hardware so that users can work easily. In order to use multiple embedded devices with Ubuntu Linux, I need to add some device drivers.
