I dualboot Ubuntu and W10, so you're chill with me.I use Ubuntu, whats does that make me
Here2tellyouwhy

Ive cosidered this.
What are the benefits other than the security Linux offers?
MKMatty
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Nicer UI (subjective, I know), better driver support, lower required specs, tonnes of free software on their store, WINE (allows you to use windows apps on Linux), less aggressive updating, supposedly nicer on your battery if you're using it on a laptop (haven't used it all that vigorously to test that), way more customisable.
I have it purely to dick around with and see what I can and can't do, but it would make a pretty solid OS if you want to explore something non-windows without the Mac price-tag.

Hmm might make a Ubuntu boot for my personal use. Been a while. Think my old old laptop I installed it on years back.
Unfortunately I'll always need Windows due to business and wife but will look into this more.
Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, I'm pretty tied up to Microsoft services, so using windows is just easiest for my needs (and I've never had any issues with windows personally), but it's fun to explore what's out there.

No it uses the same networks, the Windows just really acts as a seperate program
