"All I can say is that it's a very stable operating system."
"It's user-friendly, and you can toggle between all your UI and features, which is good."
"Provides easy integration."
"The user interface must be more user-friendly for non-technicians."
"When you talk of some of the flexibility, like you want to install from scratch, Windows is more user-friendly compared to Linux."
"More security features are needed to protect the current file system to prevent attacks."
"Ubuntu should create some specific features, like Red Hat. Red Hat has provided many features for open-source, like FreeIPA."
"It can be improved in terms of user-friendliness for inexperienced users. It also has a lot of scope for improvement in terms of deployment. It is kind of hard for inexperienced users, and the learning curve is very steep. There is not really good documentation for new professionals. Even we are using network servers to install it."
"Like most Linux systems, they can just keep increasing support in Ubuntu for hardware systems. They can increase the number of drivers so that Ubuntu can work on more hardware. They have been improving greatly, but they can definitely keep doing that."
"The product must enable automation using AI."
"Ubuntu Linux could improve by having more out-of-the-box functionality for common plug-and-play devices, such as printers. It's sometimes more difficult to plug-and-play printers with Ubuntu Linux. You need to work a bit and make some drivers work. They need to work a bit on plug-and-play devices."
"The core of the operating system needs work to become more stable and less complex. The need to occasionally re-install should not be necessary."
"They should lower the price point."
"Windows 7 and Windows 10 are identical. However, Windows 10 is the slowest of all the variants. You need to use a solid-state drive if you are going to run Windows. Otherwise, once you install it, and give it some time it is going to slow your whole system down. Especially if you are using the internet, it is going to slow your system down fast. Additionally, it could be more secure as Windows 10 is more vulnerable to viruses."
"It would be valuable for Windows to have an MDM feature to deploy applications remotely to it natively, such as the Jamf solution for Apple."
"The solution could improve by adding more dashboards."
"I would like to get less frequent updates from Windows 10."
"The search feature could be improved."
