Ubuntu is a great OS, but their UI has taken a turn in the last few years
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a very easy to use Linux distro with broad support for lots of hardware and software tools. Ease of install and use for desktop OS is better in Ubuntu than any other Linux distribution.
What do you dislike about the product?
The default UI in Ubuntu went down a very dark path a few years ago, and I'm not sure if they have recovered yet. The good news is that this can easily be fixed by installing a better windows manager such as XFCE or KDE. This easy workaround saves Ubuntu as a usable tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is a free OS that easily reduces need for expensive OS licensing. Linux in general can be more secure than some of the more popular desktop OSes. Several companies I have worked for require Linux as desktop OS.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great way to try Linux, just make sure to switch the Window Manager quickly after install.

The perfect operating system
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu gives you so much freedom to do your job. You can use Ubuntu for virtually anything. It handles everything smoothly. I've never encountered any inconvinience with it. It gives a wide array of compatible softwares which are essential for software development.
It gives constant updates and upgrades which is really helpful.
The LTS support is also another great thing as it is very reassuring for the user.
nVidea GPU support only adds to the greatness of this operating system.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are minor glitches with nautilus. It occasinally slows down and throws an error. The ubuntu software centre is not upto the mark. Many other softwares need to be added into it.
It gives a very poor gaming experience.
Games on Steam too don't fare very well, there are constant frame drops and stutters. Ubuntu really needs to improve upon these fronts.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu has a lot of benefits when it comes to software development. i personally use it for software development.
A lot of API's are compatible only on Ubuntu (and other linux distros).
Many python wheels work flawlessly on Ubuntu which don't on "Windows"

Go for it without second thoughts.
People often say that Ubuntu is not suitable for day to day use as it is very "ENGINEERED", but I disagree with all thosse people.
Ubuntu is very much capable of handling everything "Windows" can do. Though it might appear daunting at first, Ubuntu handles all your needs perfectly. It has support for nVidea GPu as well and even steam games run flawlessly on it, so it is the way to g. It is free of cost and much better than all the other pricey operating systems out there in the market.

The best Linux distribution for software development
What do you like best about the product?
16.04 with Unity is rock solid. There's amazing virtual desktop support, the UI stays out of your way, it runs on a ton of hardware. And it's great for debugging or using web browsing. Or simply anything. It's great.
What do you dislike about the product?
They dropped Unity, and Gnome isn't a great replacement just yet.

Software Development
Most productive operating system for developers
What do you like best about the product?
Over the years, bash has biggest contribution to make me a productive developer. Ubuntu provides a terminal which is the most developer friendly application which is the default way to use the power of bash. The other thing I like about the
What do you dislike about the product?
1. Folder organization
There can be a better way to have a look at your folders differently, visualize how your things are organized. Having an easy to use way to separate things in workspaces, projects and search.
2. Software Center
The UX of software center is not much useful, the information schema can be improved a lot. One thing I would like to see is a better way to have insights about the reputation of the software developer through software center before installing the software on system.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is the default way to do anything on computer for us. The benefits for business is that it avoids any worries about complex licensing structure as seen in case of Windows, plus it's free.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're a developer, go for it. If you're not, macOS or windows might be better option for you.
Easy to use windows replacement.
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a great windows replacement for smb's or even personal use. I have a 93 year old grandmother using it because her computer broke and was on a budget. Its super stable when you use the LTS versions and you have the piece of mind knowing that your FREE OS is going to get support for years to come.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve that a lot of people will not want to do because they are so used to a windows environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This software is something that is used when I have someone that comes to me with a tight budget but needs a new computer The cost is an amazing thing for people that allows them to do most if not all functions that they could on a windows machine for no cost.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There is a small learning curve and some people may not be willing to adapt to it.

If you need to take better advantage of the hardware resources and develop in a Linux-based operating system with a good graphical interface use Ubuntu without hesitation.
they need to improve in the amount of programs they have to offer, they have to develop more tools for development, so they will gain more ground among the development professionals.

First Attempt at Linux
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to install and the size of the OS is absolutely amazing in comparison to Windows

I would have to say that the only dislike would be the updates for certain things require a bit of Command Line understanding and I think that is the issue with this OS from becoming more widely installed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are branching out to include our software modules to be able to utilize Linux and other OS systems

Slick - Easy to install and open source allows for a lot of development from all sorts of users

when installing version 17.10 of ubuntu when adding some repositories it causes problems with the updates and getting some audio or wifi driver is something difficult.
another thing is the changes of versions in short time.

ubuntu helps me to create more secure servers taking advantage of the security configurations of this distribution, in addition to using equipment that is not of high resources.
