As a native Windows user, I was forced into installing Ubuntu after I couldn't boot up Windows from USB...Microsoft is incompetent when it comes to trivial stuff.....
But, off to the point...
In the first few days I had more frustration with Ubuntu then with anything else in my life, I've used Windows for 15 years...what's easy there, here is 1000 times more complicated....games are a no-go, except a few through Steam...command terminal is fun, and the system is rock solid but it takes a lot to get used to....I am still using it, tho I'll switch back to Win8 when I buy an external optical drive so I can install it the normal way....but here is a Pros&Cons table so you decide
Pros:
- Rock solid system
- Secure
- If you are a programmer then it's heaven
- Looks nice
Cons:
- No games
- Installing all of the apps you are used to on Windows is done through WINE, which is a Windows emulator and it takes time and nerves
- .exe files are useless, along with every single thing that is made for Windows..
Simplest explanation is to imagine yourself packing up and going to North Korea...Big walls protect you, no fun, new currency and law, new people, only work and again - no fun, you can do whatever you want, but the system will kill you before you get a chance to crash it, and if you want anything from America, you'll be stripped down on the big town square and get burned alive....except if you've got a WINE...imagine WINE as that small guy who illegally gets immigrants into the country......so you decide....I'm not saying it sucks, the system is amazing and well built, but for a native Win user, it took me a lot of time to adjust
