Ubuntu, Linux...all confusion.
NaRu:
I use my laptop for Ubuntu but only 20gigs off the 320gigs. The reason is I dont see a reason to use Linux to watch videos and listen to music because windows does fine with that. Also Mikan you have an i7. It shouldnt matter lol.
I use Ubuntu to learn how to get into wireless networks
Kuroshima:
Gnome and kde are the heavier window managers on ubuntu...
I haven used Linux in a while -_-
when I did. I haf no issues installing necessary drivers for hardware because my hardware is really mainstream (nvidia) and generic wireless pci adapter.
On Fedora my I was actually able to play a 1080 p video on CPU only... Where windows xp could not. Vdpau would make it even easier.
It's fun to dink around with.
Oh and I'm new here. ;)
great place here
windows DOES fine with video playback.... Once I set up my gpu offloading.

I've been using Linux for about three and a half years myself, most of that (April 2006-October 2009) spent on various versions of Kubuntu. I got tired of the arbitrary six-month updates and a bit too much hand-holding, so I'm now on Debian testing. It's not broken... yet. I would recommend starting on Ubuntu though, it's a good introduction for beginners.
