Ubuntu
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite thing about Ubuntu is that it works on any kind of machine, even the older ones. Since I'm a web programmer I find most useful the Nautilus' ability to open remote (server) folders as local ones and edit the files on server in place. The absence of viruses is a great plus too.
What do you dislike about the product?
Same as for Windows - I dislike the trend of adapting UI to mobile devices. Fortunately this trend is not so prominent anymore...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is safe, fast and reliable. A programmer's dream.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu is a modern, well developed OS. It is free, so why not try it.

Ubuntu - The friendliest version of Linux
What do you like best about the product?
I just wanted to give a quick foreword, I'm not super proficient at Linux/Unix-like OS'es, but I have used Ubuntu Desktop and Server OS multiple times but my comfort zone is Windows. That being said, Ubuntu has by far been the best Linux Distribution for me to learn, test, and develop on. In my opinion, I feel like where Ubuntu shines is it's strong community support. If you are new to Linux or even new to computing, administrating, networking, etc... Ubuntu is probably the best place to start. The Desktop OS provides an incredibly intuitive design that allows people to get moving quickly while still allowing total systems control like a proper OS should.
For the Ubuntu Server OS variant, I personally learned almost everything I know about Linux on Ubuntu so transitioning to the Server OS was a cakewalk.

What do you dislike about the product?
I think the largest dislike for me when learning and transitioning to Ubuntu was that the majority of OS management was performed at the terminal. In the Server version it's performed strictly at the terminal. When i was first learning my way around Linux I was having a hard time with getting SSH setup so I could log into the server remotely. I found tutorials online but they always seemed to be missing a step or two and I couldn't seem to get it to work. Finally, I asked on a Ubuntu Support forum and the community helped me get SSH setup, with an SSH keypair (certificate instead of password), and took the time to explain how SSH works in Linux. Primarily being a Windows user at that time, the entire setup and configuration was completely foreign to me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm currently using Ubuntu as the OS for my development environment of a MEAN stack web app. I'm also running Ubuntu for my DevOps management node while I'm learning Ansible. (Ansible doesn't currently support Windows being a management node.) I'm running web servers with Nginx, Tomcat, Apache on them, Back-end MySQL and MongoDB databases.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a robust, yet stable Linux OS with tons of free community support then Ubuntu is the right choice for you. It seems to have some of the best hardware driver support out there so if you are installing on a computer with bluetooth of WiFi capabilities then Ubuntu will probably be the best experience with working drivers out-of-the-box.
It's still developing software - very fast developing!
What do you like best about the product?
Speed of developing; support for so many deviced, speed and easy installation; nice user interface; easy package and program installation; speed of working
What do you dislike about the product?
package dependences (still there is a lot of things to do)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
automation in some internal task (f.e. inteligent home; controling procesess)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to implement your own software, Ubuntu can be the right direction for you!
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS review
What do you like best about the product?
For anybody used to or essentially desirous of the Mac's OS X interface, utilizing Ubuntu is a breeze. In any case, significantly for marooned Windows clients with as yet working equipment, Ubuntu will offer an essence of genuine 21st century work area registering, with a free, open and about without cost elective that possesses a great deal of security and support. The interface is spotless, open and satiny in task.
What do you dislike about the product?
Canonical cases that their application is right around a total arrangement, however they are in reality a long way from it. From an apprentice's perspective, Ubuntu Programming Center may appear to be finished, yet it does not have a considerable measure of highlights, also straightforwardness.
For instance, when installing a .deb it doesn't demonstrate to you what dependencies it is installing along with it. Perhaps you just got a library you didn't need.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is our preferred choice while setting up any new server. Ubuntu makes it very easy for anyone to just spin off a server and install the whole app in just a single click. Installing any app is rather unconventional in Windows and costly in Mac.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Canonical gives you the control through Launchpad, so anybody can download it and use it in their distribution.
In addition, most of the projects additionally give a PPA of Ubuntu Software Center. But this is a nightly build, and may break a few functionalities or two. To do this, Open a terminal and enter the accompanying charges:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:software-store-developers/daily-build
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Only do this when you are certain with what you want to achieve as downgrading Ubuntu is not an easy path to follow.

If you are new to LInux and want to ease in, then I definitely recommend you start with Ubuntu
What do you like best about the product?
It has a great user-friendly "Windows-like" desktop to help those who are new to Linux. I've been using Ubuntu for many years, just because it's easy to install and configure, and I can run it on any computer from a USB drive without ever installing it.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much I dislike about Linux in general, and Ubuntu makes Linux admin a snap. The package manager is a little clunky at times, not many operating systems can match the power and performance of a Linux machine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security and performance. I had a client who using PostgreSQL as a backend for a web app. The server response times were a bit slow. We built a simple Ubuntu system on a spare desktop, and ported the database over. The response time for the web app improved by 35%
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Download the live cd version, and run it. It's free, and you can experience all Ubuntu has to offer without installing anything on your system. I use a live USB boot on my Windows laptop so I can do some development without overhauling my system.
