With Ubuntu, we are able to run reliable, affordable, and secure web servers that are both feature-rich and highly available.
Pros
The best part about Ubuntu is that it is a free and open-source Linux operating system that runs well on all major hardware platforms. Every LTS version is released in 2 years with 5 years of support making it a more reliable and feature-rich OS. For developers, Ubuntu is a fully customizable OS that can be used as a secure web server. Its Kernal can be updated without a reboot making it highly available and secure.
Cons
The GUI of Ubuntu is not as elegant as OSx or Windows. Not a user-friendly operating system for personal computers. Some hardware may not be supported without paid drivers.

My first contact with Linux was around the year 2000 with a different distribution, at that time there was no Ubuntu. I started using it since mid-2008. Since then I have used other distributions, but for security and guarantee that I won't stop for a few days due to lack of update or a bad update I always return to it. I use it in my daily life, both for work and for entertainment.
Pros
Ubuntu has several programs that end up making my life a lot easier as a software developer, even languages established for using other operating systems, such as C#, are now easily accessible, which makes it very easy to change projects.
I love free and open systems and, despite Ubuntu not being the system most aligned with this philosophy, it brings several facilities that end up compensating for its use.
Cons
Even today, despite being incredibly simpler to use, we ended up having to understand a little more about the environment to keep it 100% operational and constantly updated. That's what made me point out that its cost is not so cheap because it takes a little time during the month to keep it. But this is common for any operational system.
Reasons for Choosing Ubuntu
Originally for being free, later for being the best option for my business area, currently for being the safest and easiest option to useReasons for Switching to Ubuntu
It is simple, used by tens of thousands of people across the entire planet and has high cost-effectiveness.- Industry: Information Technology & Services

Ubuntu is a computer operating system primarily used for coding and web development. I personally use Ubuntu for WordPress web development. I also use it to shop online.
Pros
I use Ubuntu on a daily basis. The main reason for this is that Ubuntu is much faster than Windows. I typically work on WordPress, and I've tried it on both Windows and Ubuntu, and I've found that working on Ubuntu is much faster and more efficient. Also, I use Ubuntu when I want to shop online or make a credit card purchase for one reason: Ubuntu is very secure, so you won't have to worry about being hacked or having someone steal your credentials. Furthermore, Ubuntu is a free and open-source operating system.
Cons
There are a few disadvantages to using Ubuntu that I find extremely disappointing. Because many of the applications on which I rely do not work on Ubuntu, I am unable to fully transition from Windows to Ubuntu. The second annoyance is that the wifi driver stops working when I shut down my PC from Windows and then restart it and log in to Ubuntu. I tried numerous times to solve this problem, but I was unable to find a solution.

I started using Ubuntu 2004 and have not stopped since! I use it for my webdev business as well as on my personal and family computers. I don't use any other operating system on my computers. I can't recommend Ubuntu enough! :)
Pros
Ubuntu/Linux is very stable. It has had very predictable 2 per year releases since 2004 and has 5 years of support for every second years release. It's very easy to use. It's mostly free open source software.
Cons
Some very specific kind of software does not exist or is not as advanced but then you can use a virtual machine with another operating system to run any application.
