The best OS opensource
What do you like best about the product?

In the beginning there were some problems, but once the operation was understood, they were able to use it in full.

A Disappointment
What do you like best about the product?
I downloaded Ubuntu 18.04 Desktop & Server and anxiously installed it on one of my laptops. I hadn't true Ubuntu since the Gnome desktop was removed. I was looking forward to using it again. It installed without a hitch on a dual boot Win/Linux computer. Once the final steps were completed I downloaded some my favorite apps. That is when the problems started. Chrome installed but after logging in to get my bookmarks, etc. the browser locked up. I downloaded Ninja-IDE but it would start. Double-checking on it did nothing. I also tried to install a Remote Desktop app, but it would not startup either. Three strikes and I'm moving on.
I was so looking forward to installing Ubuntu Server and trying out the IoT OS on some hardware I recently built. Instead I will take the time to find a Desktop that supports Chrome, Remote Desktop, and other developer apps. I will look for a stable server OS and probably give Mongoose a try on my IoT ideas. Maybe I'll try Ubuntu again sometime if I don't find the perfect Desktop OS. What a disappointment though.

No benefits

Evaluate before rolling out.
Ubuntu, makes linux easier
What do you like best about the product?
Before the arrival of Ubuntu, the use of GNU / Linux had a timid use on the part of the users, the philosophy of the project directed by Mark Shuttleworth, undoubtedly a good benevolent dictator, made the community of users expand and the large companies will not hesitate to choose this distribution as their desktop solution, saving considerable costs in licensing. For this, this dynamic philosophy of updates every 6 months contributed greatly and the flexibility to include as many peripheral drivers as possible. This same dynamism also contributed to give a great impulse to the state of distributions based on linux, which did not want to be left behind. Also in the world of servers, with its Ubuntu-Server, it has been widely accepted, including a long period of support (2023), support for state-of-the-art architectures, images for minimal installations, hardware monitoring tools and solutions for Cloud. Ubuntu has always sought to stay in the state of the art of gnu / linux distributions: it has recently taken out solutions for IoT and robotics, going through solutions for drones and industrial systems, making innovation one of its priorities. So almost for any intelligent thing there is an Ubuntu to carry.
What do you dislike about the product?
should improve and facilitate the entry of programmers who maintain package distribution
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
reduction of learning time of office tools by a large number of people and considerable savings in licensing costs
Recommendations to others considering the product:
the best gnu / linux distribution to start with this operating system
A great Operating System with many uses.
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is an easy to use operating system. It is great for those starting out with Linux and want to get used to it. Ubuntu has a great package manager, Apt, which is loaded with great software that one might use personally or professionally. Ubuntu offers several different GUI spins, such as KDE (Kubuntu), LXDE (Lubuntu), and XFCE (Xubuntu), allowing one to use their favorite desktop environment without needing to install it manually.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Ubuntu is easy to use, some of the packages can be outdated, such as Nginx, which can then make it difficult to use the latest software. As your options are to compile it from source or find a repository that offers the more up-to-date package. For those new to Linux based operating systems, this can be a challenge and be discouraging.
Another issue is drivers. Linux doesn't always get the drivers needed for certain pieces of hardware to work. Off brand, or even name brand, wireless cards could end up being useless as there may not be drivers for them, or the drivers may be outdated and incompatible with the current kernel version.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Ubuntu for our servers as well as one our workstations. Ubuntu offers great stability and ease of upgrading to newer versions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are new and just getting started with Linux, Ubuntu is a great first step in making the switch. The Ubuntu community is very active and very helpful.
It Is Fast...
What do you like best about the product?
Just did a fresh install of 18.04, and oh my it's fast. Everything is so responsive, which I think is due to Ubuntu switching to GNOME. The UI is amazing (for a linux distro) and I love the software center as it allows me to easily install 3rd party apps like Spotify and Minecraft quickly. I also love that I can update the computer without ever having to restart it, and since it is open source, I dont get the spam I generally get while using Windows.
What do you dislike about the product?
I installed Ubuntu 18.04 along with Windows and I am disappointed that it didn't allow me to encrypt anything. I understand that since it is a multi-partition drive already it can't really encrypt anything, but I feel like Ubuntu should at least give me the option to encrypt my home folder which can be done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I mainly work with Intel's SGX platform and Ubuntu is one of the support platforms. It really helps with development and I
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out, it is very simple to use. Even if you don't want to install it, you can burn Ubuntu onto a USB 3.0 and boot to it and use it without ever installing it.
A world of Open Source at your fingertips!!!!!!!!
What do you like best about the product?
To start and open source learning is very intuitive and effective to adapt to a new experience. Something very important to highlight in its favor is that Windows to bring a large amount of malicious software and for the free software platform is not very common since it allows the modification of its source codes to the user's taste and the needs of this. Ubuntu allows you to install drivers and applications without the need to reboot the PC to complete the installation which is many times causing inconvenience. An ideal example of Ubuntu is Gaim / Pidgin allows you to chat with your colleagues and at the same time you can go reading a web page or a book without much effort just moving it with the mouse wheel in silence..
What do you dislike about the product?
Despite its great advantages has a deficiency at the development level is not recommended as it is more defined to end users, this leads to bring unnecessary packages that often do what they do is harm the software and tend to think and collapse the PC ... This does not facilitate good software development practices.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
100% recommended for those who want to learn more about the vulnerabilities of proprietary software such as Windows or Apple. You can have the option to migrate to this software "Ubuntu". It has a simple environment to understand and can be adapted very quickly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is important for the learning of new users of free software so that they can adapt to the new experience that this entails .... They can be intuitive and adaptable.
Nice, stable, and user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
This distribution is most definitely the best distribution for the desktop user, in that it provides for extremely simple setup and use in most cases. It's also a great distribution for server side because of the ease of use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really. Is served it's purpose for a server on a cheap box for quite some time. Can be a little tricky on onboard hardware, but it isn't going to get easier than this one. Also has a huge online community that can help solve trickier problems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm solving the problem of high server cost. Could easily support a small office server platform on a very small budget making it extremely cost effective.
