Review for Ubuntu
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is very sleek and intuitive. The terminal and command line are also super intuitive and easy to use. It is completely free and the support is good and free. Very stable OS. I use it with Virtual Box on Windows 10 and it is very easy to set up and use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The security system is a bit crazy. You need to enter your username and password a lot of times every time you want to download a new package, even after you've logged in. There are a lot of rapid changes and upgrades.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coding and compiling software on the same operating system throughout the entire company.

Ubuntu is a great alternative OS!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I can run Ubuntu off of a flash drive or install it as a complete operating system. It's a great alternative to other more popular operating systems available, because it runs off the Linux system and seldom allows viruses.
What do you dislike about the product?
The GUI is a bit clunky, and there's a bit of a learning curve, but once you get used to it, Ubuntu works really well! Additionally, Ubuntu does not include all the standard programs one is accustomed to using on Windows, but the ability to add similar programs is improving.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've had my Window OS computer systems freeze up due to issues, viruses, etc. Consequently, I've found it convenient to have a computer with an installed version of Ubuntu, for emergency purposes. Additionally, using a flash drive, I can run Ubuntu from the flash drive without installing it on my affected computer, and use it to find and delete any virus/infected files on the hard drive. It's really amazing!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu is easy to use, once you immerse yourself. They have made this OS similar to Windows, but without all the headaches that come with the potential for viruses. If you're looking for a quality OS that, for the most part, will allow you to utilize programs (like Word, pdf documents, spreadsheets, graphic imaging, etc.) similar to what you use on your Windows system, this would make a great option! Oh - and it's FREE!
Ubuntu is the best open source of Lunux
What do you like best about the product?
The commercial controlling the community. Open source and highly customizable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Problem with hardware compatibility. There is some problem with running Office suite.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is easy to find tech support and to share documents, applications with others.
Great for people who are not familiar with GNU/Linux Distros
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about any open source software is the freedom that you get from open source software. You are not tied into any proprietary software or systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
I tend to opt for more bare bones distributions such as arch Linux. These work better if you want and know how to maintain the system properly. Ubuntu is great if you want it to "just work"
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apart from the freedom it gives, there is also cost benefits. No paid upgrades, hardware works faster and for longer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a shot in a virtual machine if you get a chance but bare in mind that in a virtual machine it will run more slowly than it would if installed properly
Best linux distro for first timers
What do you like best about the product?
It's got one of the most intuitive and user-friendly interfaces for ubuntu atm
What do you dislike about the product?
The software centre fails very often, Unable to download/update apps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Everything
Recommendations to others considering the product:
All that Open Source goodness.
Great for custom VoIP System
What do you like best about the product?
I love how customizable this operation system is. We really use it for most of our servers because it is reliable, customizable and is easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much to dislike about this flavor of Linux.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a reliable OS to run our phone server on and this was our choice. We are constantly adding tweaks to our server and Ubuntu has been good to take whatever we throw at it. We have had a really consistently good experience while using this OS.
Best for Servers
What do you like best about the product?
If you have a knowledge in the Linux platform, then this is one of the best OS. I had worked in Ubuntu when I was worked on the servers, Most of the servers have Ubuntu operating system, it is easy to setup. There is three or four commands which we used to setup LAMP. Even if we are talking about security, then you are also familiar with UFW which are the best security part in Ubuntu. The best thing is you no need to pay single amount in ubuntu OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike nothing in Ubuntu. If you are the new users in Ubuntu, this is little bit tough to understand the UI of Ubuntu, but after that if you familiar with that, this is very easy to understand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the previous organization, we are using windows for the development. And we paid for the windows license. After that, when we implement Ubuntu, they save money because it is the free one even on the servers as well. There are lots of benefit we have realized, We don't need to take tension about security. We all know, nothing is secure on the web. But Ubuntu provide the best security. In Ubuntu, you are using commands,one of the best thing for a developer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu is good for security and development sector. They save your time, easy to setup and best for the servers. They have all the repo's which you want in the development phase.
Will never stop using it
What do you like best about the product?
It's quite good for inexperienced home users. All you need is to install the system and teach them basic things to do. Support is quite easy, and the best thing is that I had no viruses during 10 years.
What do you dislike about the product?
Document Compatibility can be a pain, especially when printing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No license fees, ease of support, works on slow hardware, good localization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're technical, you probably already have it.
Very good operating system
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is an open source operating system and with only a command you can download programs
What do you dislike about the product?
The negative thing is that it don't support games
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use ubuntu to work with some programs that can not supported only on ubuntu like ROS, Gazebo
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend Ubuntu because it is a open source and you can earn a lot of money.. Also it is very practical for work.
An easy way to introduce yourself into Open Source OS
What do you like best about the product?
intuitive interface, firts time i use an OS with open source was traumataizing, i was used to Windows and suddenly i dont know where is anything, everything is out of place and its pretty much a hell, i uninstall my firts open source OS. When i try Ubuntu all was soft and smoothly, they give you a nice introduction and they keep in mind that probably your new with open source OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
The default app dowload system sometimes fail with the downloads and sometimes you have the app you want itsnt even in the store. Probably they fix this in future versions but now i dont like it. I have found it usefull when you have to dowload the most popular programs but not the less popular.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my work sometimes i have to work with Linux software and other open source OS. So Ubuntu was great for my first steeps.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best way to learn the basis of Open Source.
