"Linux Ubuntu Administrator: In Ubuntu you can be writing in one window and moving up and down the content of another. For example, you can be talking by Gaim / Pidgin with a friend and reading a web page by moving it with the mouse wheel quietly. This silly thing can not be done in Windows. Windows only knows how to do one thing at a time, and you have to have the window selected (focused) if you want to scroll through it, which forces you to be changing all the time from one window to another when they speak to you (damn Alt + TAB) . In Ubuntu you can install drivers and applications quietly because it is not necessary to restart the PC to complete the installation. This is not that it is a virgin, since the 60's has been doing. I do not know why Windows forces the user to restart countless times for anything he does. It is really horrible and exasperating (and it makes you lose the tails of the eMule!)."

"the good thing that brought us the windows 7 excellent operating system.: is an operating system developed by Microsoft compatible with most of the software that is on the market in turn has the advantage that it is light in comparison to windows vista. It occupies less memory which makes it faster. Windows 7 was released in 32-bit and 64-bit versions for the Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate editions. Choose a network from the list of available networks in the taskbar, click on it, and then establish the connection."

"Enterprise Operating System: The system packages are tried and time-tested which means you won't get the bleeding edge versions, but you can count on them working. The RHEL community is large and Red Hat support is generally responsive to cases. The GUI in the desktop version is definitely a little older, but this is not meant to be a gaming platform, it's meant to be an enterprise OS for stability and security. The server is one of the only OS's I'll use in production. "

"Solid Operating system. Great for Video editing.: Was apart of of the Apple "seed" program testing El Captian before public launch. I very much enjoyed the Increased speed of the new operating system, as well as the new features that were brought to the table. Most importantly for me was the changes to how Final Cut interacted with the operating system. What used to take upto an hour to render now only takes a half hour, thanks to better file management. Also loved being able to start a call on my iphone and move it to the Computer with the new iMessage feature."

"Mountain Lion- good for its time: When Mountain Lion came out it was a great update to the Mac OS X platform. It added features like notification center, airplay mirroring, messages which made a step to seamlessly go between your iOS devices and your mac. It added reminders, It added Gatekeeper, and Power nap which was a huge step in background updates and syncing, and security. It added dictation to the mac, which was fantastic, and provided a native solution without needing to spend money on third party software like dragon dictate. "

"Fedora, a great operating system for work: In my experience working with Fedora the best thing has been its stability, while in Windows I suffer constantly problems with software that is sometimes incompatible and gives failures even reboots, in Fedora I have seen the opposite.
What I like the most about Fedora is how to install the applications, which do not need to be searched online, since they are installed from a repository using the command console or using the Marketplace graphically, where we can find thousands of software applications that have been tested by the community and by the Fedora team to ensure that the software is free of malicious code and also works properly. I also liked that Fedora is very customizable and through changes in the theme, fonts and icons we are able to obtain an operating system totally different from the one presented to us by default."

"Virus Free Operating System. " Must Use" : Previously we are using different famous OS but some serious issue we are facing main performance and virus. Additionally, previous OS was much expensive to compare with Linux so as per budgeting we huritn a lot more than expected. Control and OS management very hand taking activity but in Linux, this help our infrastructure and DBA team a lot. They are more comfortable to manage this OS. As we are leading courier company in Pakistan so software are our back bone so our development team required fast performance and virus free server always which help business accordingly. As we are using large oracle database and Linux is excellent collaboration with this. "

"almost as good as chrome: At my work, Google Chrome browser is not usable on our computer systems. Therefore, we had Chromium installed as a replacement. I like that I have most of the functionality of the Chrome browser, although with some limitations."

"OpenSUSE Linux Best for SOHO, SMB: Leap 42.2 is my VPS Linux OS of choice (as well local LAN-connected machines). Summary: Manageability via YAST. You can run a solid system and not be FT professional sysadmin!
OpenSUSE instances are used for personal productivity (and in a mixed Windows 10 / Linux environment that is local and remote) and some small business projects. I'm not directly an IT professional, so minimizing the number of hours I have to manage my systems is critical. Over several years I've grown to really appreciate OpenSUSE. Having started with Ubuntu I migrated to OpenSUSE on the recommendation of a friend and have never looked back. It's easy to manage and it's rock solid. I now have good recipes for remote access over SSH supporting both X11 and VNC. (And my OpenSUSE desktop is the memory-saving Xfce.) The OpenSUSE deployment is now a real productivity tool for me. YAST is key to easy management. In fact I found that OpenSUSE has had fewer problems than I experienced with Ubuntu. OpenSUSE has market momentum and enough attention of user experience that it's a terrific choice for the savvy non-IT specialist. Note that "savvy non-IT specialist" means you are now responsible for security and backup and access -- but these are non-trivial challenges for any computer system!"

"La mejor distribución Debian/Linux para nuestra pequeña Pi.: Raspbian viene con más de 35,000 paquetes o programas precompilados empaquetados en un bonito formato para una sencilla aplicación en un Raspberry Pi.
Incluye aplicaciones similares a las de oficina, un navegador web y herramientas para que puedas empezar con los principales lenguajes de programación, el Raspberry Pi está diseñado para ayudarte a aprender.
La distribución sigue siendo desarrollada activamente con un énfasis en mejorar la estabilidad y el desempeño de tantos paquetes Debian como sea posible."

"I was pleasantly surprised: This is phone with no lags and everything works as it should. Phone has nice interface and Microsoft promised free upgrade to Windows 10 which I find as very nice move towards customers. It has equalizer built in as well as some other basic settings which I couldn't find on Android. Ease of use is awesome - I really adjusted fast to it. "

"The complete ARCH distribution for the beginners.: Vanilla ARCH is not that easy to install especially someone coming from Windows or Mac. Manjaro made it easy with their super easy installer. Manjaro has tons of Desktop flavors. From Official KDE to tons of community Desktop environments. Manjaro can be used as your daily driver if you know how what you are doing. AUR with tons of open source software."

"Straightforward and Stable, A little behind the curve: I like the Cinnamon Desktop Environment, it's simple and uncluttered. The mint menu behaves exactly like I expect and allows me to open software without grabbing the mouse if I so choose.
Enough configuration to handle standard use cases without an intimidating array of extra choices. This is one of my go-to recommendation for new Linux users because it's friendly and supported like Ubuntu while using a good, distinctive but also traditional DE. "

" Excellent platform: Robust platform for managing operations, databases, applications, information security, excellent performance in virtualization to manage several technological systems individually. The ideal is to use within a SUN full environment, in my experience in administration of this technology, SPARCS S7-2 management, great performance in terms of database management, in addition to the above, we combine with a SUN Storage for more power in terms of storage, order and control of the different database environments and applications used. Regarding the management of the syntax, it is a more UNIX distribution, with some exclusive operating system sentences such as file management through ZFS."
