Automated deployments have saved days and create hardened, SELinux-compliant environments
The best features offered by AlmaLinux 8 (Alma Linux 8) | Support by SupportedImages are the ability to use Kickstart files, which allows the installation of the operating system and applications to be done automatically, making deployment and customization for clients easier. This deployment automation has helped me concretely in my projects by saving time and improving efficiency. Before using AlmaLinux 8 (Alma Linux 8) | Support by SupportedImages, we used another operating system and had to deploy the operating system and then return to the machine to install each of our applications and verify that everything worked properly. With the Kickstart file and everything related to hardening and SELinux, the process is much faster and more efficient.

Linux servers have supported secure deployments and provide straightforward configuration
We use a couple of third-party apps in Linux servers, such as Twingate or Fireflys, or we redirect our traffic on London-based servers. We use Linux and other third-party applications for security purposes. User interface is an area where Ubuntu 20 (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) | Support by SupportedImages could improve. Mac is famous for its user interface and seamless experience with other products. Similarly, Ubuntu 20 (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) | Support by SupportedImages should provide a better UI/UX experience over the OS and better connectivity and better application support. Windows and Mac support a vast variety of applications, but Linux is lacking in this area. System configuration is something I would see added to Ubuntu 20 (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) | Support by SupportedImages in the future. The App Store lacks many applications, so it could improve the application support.
