Ubuntu has become the corporate de facto standard for Linux
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is well supported, stable, and its popularity attracts developers to do more on the platform. It can be used for standalone application use but is also essential in creating target builds for embedded devices. It is also free, a tremendous advantage for individuals versus Windows or Mac OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
Even with years of experience with Linux, I sometimes struggle with the installation of applications. Specifically, there are several methods of application installation depending upon which distros are used. In some cases, the installations require me to search for the exact method to perform depending on how the application is packaged.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is our host platform for embedded Linux builds.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Plan your installation. Consider the hardware resources, memory, storage, etc. that will provide the performance you will need.
Ubuntu, a viable alternative to Mac OS or Windows
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu works well on computers not supported by Mac's security updates. It works on computers that have started getting slow because of large operating systems. I like the adaptability of the user interface. I like the updated software package manager. I like the open-source tools I have come to depend on. The ongoing support from Ubuntu for older distributions means I can install it and keep using it for years if it is working well. I like the expandability and ability to use other flavors of Ubuntu like XFE. With recent cloud-based solutions for Microsoft products, I no longer find myself wishing I had a windows machine for the newest Microsoft Office suite. I find myself using Ubuntu or one of its derivatives with more and more confidence as each new version is released.
What do you dislike about the product?
Very little. Occasionally, I will turn to a derivative of Ubuntu that has been optimized to work with graphics cards or other specific hardware. Otherwise, troubleshooting things like why a specific button on a laptop keyboard isn't working or why the sound isn't working with Bluetooth can be time-consuming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Ubuntu Linux whenever I can, for home computing, higher education, community education.
Ubuntu is a great choice for a desktop operating system.
What do you like best about the product?
I like how intuitive the interface has become with the new Unity desktop environment. I also like the other available desktop environments, such as Mate, KDE, and Gnome. I also like how easy the application installer has become.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not sure if I dislike anything about Ubuntu as a server or desktop operating system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In helping a friend with their HP Stream computer, we found that the minimal storage space on the device left almost no room to download updates or save very many files. I believe the laptop had a 32G hard drive, and Windows was taking the majority of it. After installing a minimal Ubuntu desktop installation on the machine, all of the functionality worked, and there was around 20G of free space.

If you are moving from Windows to ubuntu and when you will start using it , it will be boring.But after some time you will be habitual of that.
Best linux operating system
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using the Ubuntu operating system for a long time for doing all my development projects. The main reason is that it is free to download, and also lots of free apps are available. It's incredibly stable, suffers from no annoying pauses or unexpected crashes, and has a clean, attractive interface. It never strains or never more annoys. If your machine has even fewer resources, then lightweight versions of Ubuntu Linux distributions are available for you.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu has not got a user-friendly interface. The LibreOffice in-built software is not as good as Ms office. This lacks in solving or debugging minor problems as one needs to install a few extra packages, and it requires some effort.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use the try ubuntu feature, as it can run without installing i:e for testing. We can run it from a DVD or a Pen Drive, and hence it acts as a portable OS to be used on systems for which we are not sure about the security status. Its performance is also better than other operating systems, and it is free.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend this operating system for working in the best development environment with great support.

The Go-To Linux Desktop!
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu proper is on the forefront of new technologies on the Linux desktop
What do you dislike about the product?
I wouldn't mind if Ubuntu had a rolling version of its distro but I understand that is not Ubuntu's place in the Linux world
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gnome 3 is on the cutting edge of the modern Linux desktop, using it gives you insight to the future.

It is worth it, and I will recommend this for every developer working in the software field.
Ubuntu, the choice of a new generation.

I've not discovered any negatives other than the learning curve. The learning curve could be smaller for new users though.

General desktop usage works amazingly well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a shot, and get used to the interface before you make a final decision.
The only option for developers on PC
What do you like best about the product?
As a developer you can install your IDE, languages or server platforms-containerized or not - with a finger snap. Evrything is an apt-get install away.
Then, it's not difficult to go to cloud or to work remotely- Ubuntu is literally powering the internetz. So this is basically why teams at Google use Ubuntu Desktop for their work!

What do you dislike about the product?
The UI could use some modernization- icons being too big for my liking - plus shipping more terminal alternatives, etc...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Well for me it's the fastest way to get developers start woeking without caring about installing tools and dependencies- this solves productivity AND quality problems for us - all while being free,!
