"Best light weight and fast operating system ever!!!"
5/5

What do you dislike about Ubuntu 20 (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS)?

I have been using this for many years and haven't noticed anything significant to report. However, it still requires some improvements in the memory management section. I see some processes running and consuming memory in the background as system services without user knowledge. Apart from that, everything is very good and nice!

"Easiest linux in the playgound"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Ubuntu 20 (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS)?

What I found most helpful about Ubuntu is the user base of it, generally, if I face an issue working on ubuntu, I do what we all do, search online, and bam first 2-3 links will provide a sureshot solution of the issue being faced. A good working community is the best thing.

There are minor things that I personally like more for other OS but overall ubuntu is what I select to work upon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ubuntu 20 (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS)?

For dislikes, the list is not very big, in fact not even a list, just a few minor niggles here and there are what sometimes makes life difficult for an ubuntu user. But it is just a small portion of it, most of the things are hasslefree and solutions are readily available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
