System Administrator at mmcytech4.5I find Ubuntu Linux excellent for servers and hosting due to its open-source nature, security, and scalability. It's easy to set up and stable. My main concern is the GUI difficulty for SSH connections compared to Windows.
Owner at a computer software company with 1-10 employees4.5I highly recommend Ubuntu Linux; it's a stable, scalable, open-source platform I've used for five years for application servers and AI. Its continuous improvements and wide support make it excellent, despite minor GUI suggestions for beginners.
manager at SSDU Innovations4.5I rate Ubuntu Linux 9/10 for virtualized servers, valuing its stability, easy setup, and quick security updates. I recommend improving version upgrades, legacy support, and adjusting license costs due to currency exchange fluctuations.
BA at a computer software company with 11-50 employees3.5I switched from Windows to Ubuntu Linux. It's faster and perfectly stable, with no crashes. While documentation isn't robust and there's a learning curve, I highly recommend it for its performance, though basic Linux knowledge is needed.
Associate Cloud Operations Engineer at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees4.0As a Linux admin on AWS, I find Ubuntu reliable, cost-efficient, and highly compatible, with great documentation. However, support can be slow due to AWS involvement, and version migrations are often hectic, which could be improved.

I find it stable, scalable, and cost-effective, saving 22%. Its user-friendly nature, excellent features, and support lead me to rate it 8/10.
Systems Engineering - SigFox Paraguay at TEISA5.0I use Ubuntu Linux daily for networking due to its flexibility, easy software downloads, and excellent documentation. My main issue arose when upgrading out-of-support LTS versions like 20.04, which caused system failures, but overall I rate it highly.
Manging Director at Winworth UK5.0I use Ubuntu Linux for diverse tasks, including backend server processing, finding it extremely stable, reliable, and secure with excellent package management. It runs for years without issues, providing peace of mind. I rate this outstanding solution a perfect ten.
