"Ubuntu might work for a bigger company, but I don't think so. Again, you would have to get the right people to do it. You need somebody technical. If you have a bunch of people who aren't technical, then it is just going to be a headache trying to get a feel for it or teach them."
"The product is difficult to use sometimes."
"The learning curve is quite high for non-technical users. Therefore, it's not a suitable solution for a general office environment."
"Ubuntu could be improved with more container integration and orchestration of those containers. We are looking to have more cloud-based solutions, like Docker, and container-based solutions, or Kubernetes-based solutions integrated with Ubuntu. Instead of going for VMs, we would like to have more container-based solutions on top of Ubuntu."
"The solution is a little complicated to customize and could be made easier."
"When you talk of some of the flexibility, like you want to install from scratch, Windows is more user-friendly compared to Linux."
