Overall Satisfaction with Ubuntu Linux
Ubuntu Linux is being used throughout the entire organization, across several engineering departments. It is being used to write some software for spacecraft design and trade studies analyses and simulation, as well as several applications and services for ground software infrastructure, data handling and telemetry manipulation. I personally use it for spacecraft design, simulation and even controls and estimation applications. Using Linux throughout the company is a good way to have a consistent platform.

- Great collaboration within teams and across departments
- A lot of time gained on software version control
- Microsoft Windows and MacOS
It has a very intuitive and user-friendly, slick interface compared to other operating systems like Windows or Mac OS. It is also much cheaper as it is an open source free operating system. The command line terminal is much easier to use than the Windows one. Besides, you can run Ubuntu on a Windows machine by running it on a virtual machine such as Virtual Box.
