What do you like best about Ubuntu 18 (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS)?

I first started using Ubuntu on my laptop with Ubuntu 18 version. It was so easy to use and light weight OS of all. I was facing many issues with windows earlier as my laptop is really slow to use then I shifted to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. After that my laptop is so fast and no lags at all. So I really recommend Ubuntu for any people who are facing laptop slowness issues. Also it's easy to shift from windows to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS without any data loss. It also boots up faster than any other OS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ubuntu 18 (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS)?

The only drawback with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is it doesn't have some of the softwares that are available on windows. So to work any of those softwares we don't have any way to use it on Ubuntu 18.04

It would be better if Ubuntu can make something like Windows virtual server to use windows softwares as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ubuntu 18 (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS) solving and how is that benefiting you?

During covid I was doing work from home with my personal laptop. But it's really frustrating because my windows is very slow to work then I changed it to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and all my issues were gone. I was happily doing my works without any hang issues.

It has many pre installed libraries that are needed for a developer to do his business work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
