I was thrilled to use Ubuntu for the first time. At the very beginning, it was very weird for me to learn theory of terminal commands before actually seeing the OS in my hands. But when I actually tried my hands on it, I realised that commands are not compulsory, GUI itself is sufficient to handle our usage. I wanted a file system which has radically faster speed on copy and writing files and folder even on a 3.0 HDD, and Ubuntu impressed me over MS Windows. So, I loved this OS.

I have always been a "perfection" finding person. I wanted all cloud storage at one place. I always look for central integration. A easy software library where I can install the software directly from store. Google drive can be linked to the local storage like a directory, this is the most beautiful feature in Ubuntu. One unique feature is that you can also set keyboard shortcuts using windows function key ans use in Linux based Ubuntu. I just love the speed of booting up.

There are no cons as of now regarding the quality of software, but I personally feel that we need more themes to decorate the desktop. And biggest issue is file shortcut, unlike other OS, we cannot send files shortcut to desktop. So they need to roll out this feature sooner.

I've been using the Mate version of Ubuntu as my primary desktop for years and I have nothing but good things to say about it. I don't prefer it to Windows or Mac because it's free, I prefer it because the user experience is so much better.

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.

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.

Overall experience has been good as still i work on it along with different platforms like centos

Ubuntu is a linux based platform where we can code, script, use docker, jenkins and so many other integrated tools with just a piece of command..Isn't it super

Least liked part is that it takes time to load and is super slow on interface.

Ubuntu has come a long way over the years. If you look at Linux distribution market shares over the years, you'll see the Red Hat family losing market share to the Debian family - chiefly Ubuntu. When you consider Red Hat's embarrassing missteps with killing CentOS Linux and turning AWX (the open source Ansible Tower upstream) into a Kubernetes-only project, it's not surprising that Ubuntu has risen. Ubuntu is where the industry is heading.

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.

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.
