Some personal thoughts about Ubuntu and Linux
Not so surprisingly I’m ex-Windows-user who recently (little less than year ago) switched to Linux, Ubuntu more precisely. I had been using Windows since 3.11 till Vista. Windows was never especially evil to me, I just didn’t like it so much. But I decided to change because I wanted a lighter and safer system (Vista and 512MB RAM wasn’t so good combination). And of course Linux is way cooler than Windows (or even Mac ). Why I didn’t change earlier was mostly because I didn’t have own computer.
Switching was easy. First I had divided hard-drive (how to partition the hard-drive, the first thing I learned because of installing Ubuntu) with Ubuntu and Vista and then only Ubuntu (after some experiments and losing the Vista dvd). Before installing Ubuntu, I had been reading about different Linux distros to know which one might be the best for me.
It should be clear for everyone that different operating systems do have differences. Expecting all the systems to work same way, is too much asked.
