i really, really hate windows 8 (which is what my newest computer came with) and ive heard quite a few good things about ubuntu, and ive been thinking about switching i looked and saw all my steam games are compatible with ubuntu, and im not really seeing a reason not to switch, but im wondering if any of you have anything to say if its important, no ive never even been around a computer running any sort of linux system, ive been with windows my whole life, and no, im not a super techy guy, though i do have a general sense of direction around computers

| Why do you hate windows 8? I've been using it for about a year and a half and I've came with little to no problems. I really prefer it for pc gaming. |

@limited i love windows 7-my last computer ran that before it died (it was a really ancient one, i put 7 on it about a year or two before it died) but the disk for it was borrowed from my uncle and i dont think he has it anymore
im still gonna try this tho, just out of curiosity

I have Ubuntu sideloaded. Ubuntu is good if you know what you're doing, considering it's a developer OS.
For example you got to use CMD to install things It looks and works nice on most computers, though |

| A lot of programs can't be used on GNU/Linux operating systems so if you do a lot of work for school on it which requires M$ Office, I's recommend against it. |

N3rp, I've tried lots of Linux distributions.
Linux Mint is quite good and better than Ubuntu in my opinion |
