What do you like best about the product?
It just always works on x86 hardware. Also works on most apple hardware. Especially good for older hardware. Driver support is excellent, even for obscure devices.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the gnome implementation seems half baked. Can be a little sluggish feeling on systems with integrated graphics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
On the desktop side, it has been my operating system of choice for 15+ years. It just always works. The various flavors, especially Ubuntu Studio, offer me different configurations and features for various use cases.
On the server side, it's the only OS I will run period. The support is very good from the community and if you need it, the support options from Canonical are reasonable.
