What is it? Yes, it's an operating system, but what's special about it?
How do you download it? What happens once downloaded? Any side effects? I saw everywhere i looked that it was free, but that's basically all I could find out :( Could you please explain more? Research has failed me. |

If I were you i would download the ubuntu iso burn it(and burn the actual iso not the file) to a disc and then pop it in and restart your computer and dont install it but just hit enter on the top button. I forgot what it says but it lets you try it without it affecting your computer in any way. I dont think you'd like linux. Its very customizable and faster than windows but there are always things you need to fix. ANd you cant put photoshop on it and you can download and install programs off the internet. There is a good list of programs you can install in add/remove programs though.
Edit: also there is a ubuntu option to install it like a program so you can test it out and then remove it. |
