Maybe switch to Ubuntu?
by Straitsfan from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5SNX1)
Hello -- I've been wondering whether or not to switch to Ubuntu from Elementary OS. I'm fooling around with it and find it a little bit...restrictive.
What are your thoughts on Ubuntu? Is it a good OS for beginners? I'm just starting to get into Linux and want to eventually switch over from MacOS when my MBPro eventually gives out, and just want to expand my experience anyway.
I have a Dell Latitude E6510 with 8 GB Ram, and an intel i7 CPU. It definitely meets the system requirements for it, from what the Ubuntu site says, but was just wondering if it's worth it to switch over.
Any advice is welcome.
If I do go over to it, will it keep the apps that I already have on it? they're not much, but will it wipe my Linux partition clean?
