Usually when there is a focus on security it takes away from flexibility. I personally like Ubuntu more than Fedora Linux because the long term support LTS is longer than Fedora Linux.

The OS is very pleasant to use and it allows to quicly get on the problem instead of spending time configuring the OS. The updates are done in a successful way and do not broke the OS, thanks to the APT packaging system. The terminal and file management is really easy to use if you are accustomed on Windows OS.

Cons
  • Stability. It's good, but it's not anything like CentOS for stability
  • End-user usability. It has a few glaring holes here and there with UI/UX

This is a personal preference based on working with hundreds of client projects, I prefer Ubuntu over Fedora Linux.

We are an all-CentOS-shop, but we've done a number of things with Ubuntu and Fedora. Most of the production CentOS machines are only there because prior to that Fedora helped to blaze the trail to get there. It's been a very good platform for testing our new ideas. Ubuntu is similarly positioned in our organization, but Fedora stacks up well in our environment.

Linux Mint has the stability of all the great linux distros with the best UI of any of them

Return on Investment
  • It's been mostly positive. We don't spend a lot on R&D stuff, but Fedora [Linux] gives us a chance to gauge where we are at in comparison to where technology is headed

  • It has saved tens of thousands of dollars just for being our air-gapped backup solution. other software would have been very expensive, and harder to manage
  • Providing simple, easy to use applications (docker, for example) that can quickly, easily, and inexpensively deployed saves many, many hours and dollars
