Pros

Ubuntu has several programs that end up making my life a lot easier as a software developer, even languages established for using other operating systems, such as C#, are now easily accessible, which makes it very easy to change projects.
I love free and open systems and, despite Ubuntu not being the system most aligned with this philosophy, it brings several facilities that end up compensating for its use.

Cons

Even today, despite being incredibly simpler to use, we ended up having to understand a little more about the environment to keep it 100% operational and constantly updated. That's what made me point out that its cost is not so cheap because it takes a little time during the month to keep it. But this is common for any operational system.

Reasons for Switching to Ubuntu

Pros

The best of Ubuntu are: Easy of use, friendly interface and open source.

Cons

The worst of Ubuntu are: troubled updates sometimes, other linux distributions listen to theirs users, this one does not.

Pros

I use Ubuntu on a daily basis. The main reason for this is that Ubuntu is much faster than Windows. I typically work on WordPress, and I've tried it on both Windows and Ubuntu, and I've found that working on Ubuntu is much faster and more efficient. Also, I use Ubuntu when I want to shop online or make a credit card purchase for one reason: Ubuntu is very secure, so you won't have to worry about being hacked or having someone steal your credentials. Furthermore, Ubuntu is a free and open-source operating system.

Cons

There are a few disadvantages to using Ubuntu that I find extremely disappointing. Because many of the applications on which I rely do not work on Ubuntu, I am unable to fully transition from Windows to Ubuntu. The second annoyance is that the wifi driver stops working when I shut down my PC from Windows and then restart it and log in to Ubuntu. I tried numerous times to solve this problem, but I was unable to find a solution.

Pros

Ubuntu has just about every application I use in it's repo... and I use a LOT of applications from music arranging, 3-D modeling and printing, software development, and more. The few applications I needed that were not in the repo were easily to find and install via PPA. Ubuntu has an active support community for every level of user. Distro version upgrades are smooth and effortless.

Cons

Nothing is wrong with snaps, but I don't why why Ubuntu should "muddy the waters" by having 2 different kinds of applications managers: both apt-get (or apt) and snap. I'd like to see the distro stick to apt.

Pros

Great for desktop users and developers
Stable GUI
Very responsive
Great for App management

Cons

GUI Colors need some improvement
Compliance security support need to be more clear for service providers to fix issues fast.

Pros

Ubuntu now uses the GNOME desktop environment, which is modern and highly effective if you're a keyboard guru like me. Its "Snap" format of distribution-agnostic packages makes it easy to get more up-to-date versions of common software. There's a lot of community support for Ubuntu.

Cons

Ubuntu's "Snap" packages automatically update, and you can't turn this off. That's fine for desktop software but a disaster for server software. Canonical, which commercially sponsors Ubuntu, still doesn't have professional training similar to the RHCSA/RHCE.

Pros

1. Ubuntu is a very light OS, any Pc with less configuration will support Ubuntu
2. It is very helpful for organization-level work i.e. it has preinstalled software which is required in organizations like schools, colleges, etc.
3. You can customize it with your requirements which is amazing, you can customize your file icons, change how will your system look, and many others.
4. The most important feature of this platform is that it is a secure environment

Cons

1. It doesn't support headphones and microphones at a single time, only one of them can be used at a time.
2. It mainly has CLI and that's why some people face issues in using it when switching from Windows.
3. There is a brightness issue in Ubuntu Linux 20.10 version.

Pros

Ubuntu provides an easy to use Linux kernel that makes transitioning from other mainstream operating systems like Windows or MacOS relatively straightforward. I like the simple user interface, addition of simple features found in other OS's, and the ability to develop software in a Linux environment.

Cons

While this is no direct fault of Ubuntu, I wish there were more supported software for the platform. Software commonly found on other OS's are not supported on Ubuntu. Examples include the Microsoft Office Suite and many video games.

Pros

1. Ubuntu is very fast and no lags
2. The updates are regular
3. Easy to install anything , due to the terminal interface
4. Boot up fast
5. Option for dark theme

Cons

1. Not every software is supported in ubuntu , like adobe.
2. The interface is not much user friendly
3. No support for games
4. Ubuntu software store is not useful
5. Need some time to be familiar with the operating system.

Pros

- No malware of any kind- nice UI- Freedom!

Cons

- Some hardware compatibility issues- difficult for beginers

Pros

Through it's software center you can get free software. And user interface is cool.

Cons

The last version is too big and you need higher parameters to run it smoothly.

Pros

It is lightweight but very powerful operating system with a lot of out of the box features and packages.I have always found everything I needed in Ubuntu with very little need to install packages.

Cons

Sometimes I feel it lacks the user interface of the consumer based Windows operating systems, may it be the server or the desktop versions. But after I compare the resource usage, it always makes Ubuntu work it for mission critical work.

Pros

Its best OS there is for beginner developer, it has easy to use GUI and is best for me because i have to open so much tunnels for my development so i have created a layout for it in terminator so i dont have to write so many commands and I also have created so many shortcuts for github so its best OS for me

Cons

I don't really dislike any thing abou ubuntu because its the best.

Pros

Sincerely, talking about Ubuntu has become almost as talk as the Linux System itself, it's the most complete Debian based distro, and support from developers and the community is outstanding, you can use it for starting the Linux world or for complex computational calculations (software developers often thinks in ubuntu support).

Cons

It can be a little overwhelming work with Linux at first, but this happens with anyone that is new to this world. But Ubuntu almost doesn't have any flaws and can make the transition a little more appealing.

Alternatives Considered

Pros

+ huge community, which means it's easy to find help online.
+ stable
+ Gnome supports fractional scaling by default, which is handy if you have a HiDPI monitor

Cons

+ I had some issues with qemu/kvm virtualization where windows guests are super slow. But it worked perfectly in Manjaro (arch-based linux)
+ Desktop is not customizable enough.

Pros

Its good OS for developers. Uses less resources so its very easy to run multiple projects with low resources which I like most.

Cons

Its difficult for windows user to work on it rest all good.

Pros

Ubuntu is one of the most user friendly distros out there. It offers you both security and great user interface in one whole package. The frequency of the updates make sure that your operating system is reliable and robust.
Ubuntu uses GNOME desktop environment by default and I must say its one of the most polished desktop environments on the market. It's very customizable and very responsive.
The goal of Ubuntu team has been to create an operating system that is easy to use on desktop computers and I believe they have nailed this.
The availability of software packages for this operating system has made it very convenient. Most of software providers create Debian packages which are compatible with Ubuntu.

Cons

To be able to put your finger on shortcomings of a software you don't really have to think that hard. When it comes to Ubuntu I must say it is difficult because the team behind Ubuntu have tried their best and they have succeeded in the one goal and that is to make an operating system which is very user friendly.

Pros

Ubuntu Server: With ubuntu server I can customize every aspect of my system, webserver, file system, services and a variety of tuning in each aspect.
From the installation I can choose all the services that I will use, even if I need a graphical environment and / or web administration.

Cons

Like all linux distro it has its peculiarities. But there is not a difficulty that can leave you without service taking the best precautions.

Pros

It's tough to talk about Ubuntu without comparing it to Linux. I make my living off of Linux, so it's important that Ubuntu is as good of an operating system as its predecessor. I can say definitively that it falls short in a number of different ways, but its price point is what really has me on the fence. It might be worth the risk if you're looking for a cheaper alternative to Windows or MacOS. The biggest

Cons

I have been an Ubuntu user for years and it has never disappointed me! It is such a convenient operating system that I can't imagine using any other. Ubuntu is the only OS for me!

Pros

Easy to use and maintain system. It has a good support cycle by the manufacturer. We use it here for over 15 years in the company. Easy to install and configure applications, good support for security updates and software fixes. Practical system for any company, in addition to insurance.

Cons

We don't have any problems as the documentation is vast and has a very active user community.

Pros

We have installed and deployed the Ubuntu OS on several of our computers fro email and file server purposes as well as for general office desktop use. The computers we have are older since we try to keep more money available to the residents, and Ubuntu has allowed us to use these older computers much more effectively and extend the useful life as system resources do not get bogged down as they would with a windows system.

Cons

I haven't found anything that I don't really like about the system. We have been able to run pretty much any software we need and in many cases some things are much more easily accomplished vs on a windows machine.

Pros

I like that I learned linux and lots of bash command with Ubuntu.
I like its minimalistic and nice interface. I like its similarity Windows. So It wasn't hard to get used to it.

Cons

It's too hard to find games compatible with Ubuntu. There is a lack of game drives. There's lack and slowness of sync exchange accounts.

Pros

It has several pre-installed programs with basic functionality, such as Libre Office.

Cons

It is not very simple to install applications usually an administrator is the person designated for this.

Pros

Ubuntu is completely free of cost and it is made for ease of developers.

Cons

It takes some time to adjust to the UI of ubuntu and navigation of windows through command prompt is also a bit tedious.
