In just about every way, Yes! Because it is 100% free, it comes with almost all the software you need and it is easy to get more if you desire. It has a free word processor (also includes presentation, spreadsheet etc.), free movie and music players, it can also mount ISO files. Ubuntu is also a lot faster than windows, and there is also a program that allows you to install/use .exe files.
You can run it as a virtual machine under win 7 by using VMWare player. Also, see the related link for Wubi - a way of installing Ubuntu under a windows file system (not virtually)
In my opinion, Linux, in all its many distributions (Ubuntu, Mint, puppy, and many more) is better than Windows. Of my seven computers, only my wife's computer uses Windows 7 - my six computers use Ubuntu!
Use Truecrypt. Linux is a supported OS.
In order to fix files and Windows 8 on a computer, it is best to take the computer to qualified people who have the resources to fix it correctly. You may also be able to run a system restore on the computer that will erase current systems and start over the programs that were on the computer when bought.
It is possible, of course.2nd answerer says: I can't win it because I'm not in it...
There is no easy way to "switch" from one operating system to another. The easiest thing is to install Windows 7 over the Ubuntu installation if you do not want Ubuntu anymore. Back up any data you have first before you do this because otherwise it will be lost in the install process.
I am afraid to admit it but the Philadelphia Eagles are the better team. They will win the Super Bowl and win by more than 7 points. The New England Patriots beat the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21 in Super Bowl XXXIX.
Any version of Windows and Ubuntu is no problem. I'm unaware of all the issues that might surround a Windows 7 / Vista dual-boot, but adding Ubuntu into the mix shouldn't cause any problems, provided the two versions of Windows are cooperating.
Yes, you can. You will need to partition your hard drive because Linux has to be installed in a separate volume. I would install windows first and then Ubuntu.
the operating system ie windows 7, ubuntu
I find that my four computers using Linux (Ubuntu, Mint) are much quicker to reboot than my wife's single Windows 7 computer.
I think you could. This website will tell you.http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-7-10-on-PS3-73272.shtmlIt amazes me how many people can't be bothered to do a simple google search.anyway, good luck with ubuntu.
