But Ubuntu happens to be a pretty easy distro to use and learn. If you can get past that, you won't be disappointed. It's pretty amazing. And there are quite a few good open source games and apps that are made for Linux.
Also, you might be wise to study into whether your hardware works well with Ubuntu. Especially video cards, sound cards, and wireless.
The Ubuntu installation will help you to partition your hard drives and keep a place for your Windows install. |
you do know about "wine" right???? you can use most windows software and games on linux now. Some games are also designed and retailed for linux aswell but you have to pay for the big titles obviously
