“Maybe it was one piece of malware too many, maybe it
was realizing that while Windows 7 doesn’t look like XP, there
really wasn’t that much better about it, in any case the day had
come when you decided to give Ubuntu Linux a try. Here’s what you
need to know to make the most of your new experiment in operating

“The easiest way to try Ubuntu is to just buy a laptop or PC
that already has Ubuntu installed on it. Dell, system76, and

Ubuntu a try on your existing PC. Indeed, you won’t have to change
a thing on your computer to try it.”
