Was just about to come back and say that I changed my mind and ordered win10, also a small internal that I can use to do dumb poo poo on so that I don't gently caress anything up on the one with my actual os

how big of a jump is it from 7 to 20 bc 7 is my fave os ever and 8 was hot garbage

i think on ubuntu you press the windows key and then it brings up the start menu thing and it basically works like windows where you start typing what you want to use. the software center? will let you install stuff, it might be on the default list of apps. you have to go to google.com to install chrome though.

"learning linux" has a huge amount of breadth though, what are you trying to do?

windows 10 is basically windows 7. 8 had the hud that people poo poo their shorts over but i thought it was fine after a while. everyone always bitches about drivers or whatever but i 've never had that problem even on vista and 64 bit xp. maybe i'm the lucky one there though. idk

It's p fuckin bad I have to be able to speak some fake bullshit language to do anything and it sucks

Sucks bad enough that I'm spending an extra 30 bucks to buy win10 as a download and make my own USB boot so I don't have to wait till Sunday for it to get here

congrats you have learned linux, basically that's everything. that feeling you had when you lost everything on your disk? that's the linux feel. now you're stuck in a state of perma tinkering in order to get even the most basic things like a real desktop operating system back on your machine.
