Great all purpose OS for when you need *nix environment
What do you like best about the product?
It's lightweight, fast, and having the builtin linux tools and languages are perfect for processing and cleaning up giant data files.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting it up to run can be a hassle as not all hardware is supported, but if you set it to run in a VM, it'll pretty much be plug and chug.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Processing giant data files and spitting out the resultant set as an input for other systems. I've had no problems working with files >8GB in Linux, whereas it would stutter and crash while trying to use Microsoft's Office Suite. I might have been able to use the Powershell, but AWK is very powerful and fast.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its great for power users and people who are used to linux. I used to use slackware and red hat distros, but I find that Ubuntu is perfect for general use.

Great for beginners of Linux
What do you like best about the product?
Easy interface, great GUI, flexible menus, and of course it's FREE to install
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited drivers for some specific products, most items run through emulation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No official "support" of products other than the OS itself. Most support done through forum communities.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For first-timers getting into the Linux environment, this is user friendly to explore.
Ubuntu
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu LTS: easy to support; easy for users to "get"
What do you dislike about the product?
Goldilocks complaint: LTS updates too slowly; regular version too rapidly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu makes *nix painless for otherwise resistant users
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for desktop. For servers - you're going to have your own ideas
My Ubuntu user-experience
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu has been for me one of the most user-friendly Linux distros i have used. It has a simple interface, very easy to use and very cool features and graphics. The new versions which are based in GNOME are further more greater because the menu is accessible in a better way and the system offers much more flexibility. If you're wondering : "What about my hardware? I need drivers to install for all my inputs." Well in my whole experience all devices connected to my computer running Ubuntu connected automatically, no drivers needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu in a nutshell requires a well parameter computer and it does not work well if your computer is not fast.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm currently using Elementary OS which is based Ubuntu. I have used it to work with my designs on GIMP or Inkscape, and also to communicate on Telegram with my co-workers. And also for the usual web surfing and correspondence.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Everyone who is trying to switch from Windows or Apple to another OS id suggest Ubuntu because it has a simple to understand environment and you can adapt very quickly.
Ubuntu
What do you like best about the product?
Most Linux operating systems are not user friendly. This one is. The GUI (Graphic user interface) is wonderful. It is extremely useful for organizations with in-house developers. Easy to implement. It is free to download.
What do you dislike about the product?
I suppose it would be nice if updates were manageable via SCCM. I am unsure if this has been implemented yet, but since a lot of companies are moving more towards automation, this would be a huge feature update.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use the Ubuntu OS to run our in-house intranet solution. It is just nice to have a light-weight Linux OS for in-house developed solutions. We also use for our code backup solution, as well as have a separate Ubuntu box for storing old versions of our intranet information.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a light-weight, but still user friendly Linux OS for your solution, Ubuntu is the best (In my opinion).
Best Web Dev OS
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is super easy to use even for those new to Linux. It also gives the user tons of power to customize their experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
Availability of software. I'm still stuck to using Windows for certain pieces of software, unless I want to use a solution such as WINE.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Development and server administration.
Ubuntu: A solid Linux Distro
What do you like best about the product?
I have been a fan of Linux ever since I was first introduced to it. The granularity and diverse structure allows for one of the most complete customizations of an operating system that I have ever seen.
What do you dislike about the product?
To truly utilize any Linux distribution you have to be very experienced with the Linux operating system environment. You will have to spend a good bit of time configuring the system to get it optimized to your use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu makes for a great base operating system for a number of monitoring hooks, acts as a wonderfully stable web server platform, and just about any other service that does not specifically require Windows or OSX.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you haven't used a Linux distribution before, be prepared for some complexity.
Linux Ubuntu Administrator
What do you like best about the product?
In Ubuntu you can be writing in one window and moving up and down the content of another. For example, you can be talking by Gaim / Pidgin with a friend and reading a web page by moving it with the mouse wheel quietly. This silly thing can not be done in Windows. Windows only knows how to do one thing at a time, and you have to have the window selected (focused) if you want to scroll through it, which forces you to be changing all the time from one window to another when they speak to you (damn Alt + TAB) . In Ubuntu you can install drivers and applications quietly because it is not necessary to restart the PC to complete the installation. This is not that it is a virgin, since the 60's has been doing. I do not know why Windows forces the user to restart countless times for anything he does. It is really horrible and exasperating (and it makes you lose the tails of the eMule!).
What do you dislike about the product?
Didactic images are missing to motivate children to use this great operating system, should include games that motivate young people to use it. When working with complex Windows documents, it could become a difficult or almost impossible task due to the low compatibility to import from Windows for Linux, to date there are products that do not have compatibility in the different operating systems that we use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my work, it was migrated to ubuntu because it is a free technology and no more prized licenses from other companies were requested, which saved money for the company in which I work, besides being easy to learn for all employees of the same company. .
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This distribution is excellent for the implementation of PostgreSQL as a database manager, as well as a good relationship with Apache as a Web server and an important management in servers for the administration of networks such as ProxySquid and DHCP.
Ubuntu for Web Server Use
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is easy to install and has done a great job of both releasing bi-annual version updates as well as Long Term Support (LTS) versions. They keep the software patched and up to date and that has been a huge feature for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not have much to comment on that I dislike. I've been using Ubuntu for so many years, I don't remember when we even started.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've utilized Ubuntu for the Apache Web Server and PHP software platform. It has served us very well and provided a stable platform for our web server hosting both for internal and external projects. Due to the way they maintain the product it has also decreased our support load for patching and updates. We've been able to lean o
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu has been a great platform. They are continually improving and updating the system. The security fixes and update management have been huge for us and I would certainly recommend this product to others. While almost everyone in our organization uses the services provided by the underlying platform they do not realize it and the gains impact our IT department the most.
Awesome linux distribution to use for any type of development. Linux is amazing!
What do you like best about the product?
So clearly everybody should already know that linux is a very powerful platform as-is. Ubuntu makes it infinitely times better. Ubuntu is one of the few platforms that has a really developed and well-researched user interface, while other linux distributions remain only useable in the form of a command line. Because of this, Ubuntu captures both audiences: Those that are familiar and capable of using a computer in a command-line only environment, and those that aren't familiar or comfortable with it quite yet. Linux can be really tough, but Ubuntu is a great place to start for those that aren't familiar.
What do you dislike about the product?
Linux an be tough a lot of the time. I feel that there isn't enough coverage and help with dealing with bugs and other issues that come when trying to install average apps that would be so simple to install on other operating systems like Windows and macOS. Also, when it comes to practicality, Ubuntu is tough because it is after all targeted at developers, which makes it really hard to use because of incompatible general drivers for sound, display, etc...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My organization uses a server-side distribution of Ubuntu for our entire application backend. It is very quick, efficient, and practical for a solution that we need. It is simply the best-developed, most affordable professional solution for the problem we are trying to solve, which is why it outcompetes all of its competitors.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For others using Ubuntu, please plan ahead and make considerations for support for the products you are planning to use. While it is unlikely that the library or application you are planning to use will not support Ubuntu, it is still good to double-check.
