Roight into the neeewwwwwssss

So I've been using Windows 10 for the past 12 and a half months now, and let me just tell you: It's the most unfinished operating system I've seen in a long time. Performance issues, 3-5 hr battery life, problems interacting with hardware, Cortana, etc. And get this: A license of Windows 10 (With NO office suite/application bundle) costs $50-70. If you don't think that's bad, a standard install of Ubuntu (With a full office suite, compatible with Word/Excel/PowerPoint) costs...you know what? I'll let you guess...

Go ahead, I can wait.

Did you guess it? $130-$150? Nope. It's free. Yep. Office suite and all. Furthermore, it comes with drivers compatible with AMD/NVidia/Intel graphics cards. With the correct version of OpenGL. I kid you not. Do you think Microsoft provides these drivers out of the box. Nope. If you think you can get away with not installing any graphics drivers on your PC, Microsoft isn't gonna have it. You're stuck with OpenGL 1.1. Shoutout to anyone who remembers that from 1997. Also, the .iso for Ubuntu is significantly smaller than the Windows .iso. But back to the drivers; I understand that the drivers on Linux are freeware, and incompatible with NT (Win 2000/XP/7/8/8.1/10), but it's something I personally can't stand. Anyway, if you want the .iso for Ubuntu, click here. To use it, burn it to a flash drive. Imaging software includes: Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer, etc. If you prefer your installer on optical discs, you can use ImgBurn. If you want to retain your copy of Windows and run it, select "Run Ubuntu from this CD/USB", or Install Ubuntu alongside Windows Boot Manager (Assuming you're running Windows 10). If you use software compiled for Windows, press Ctrl+Alt+T, type

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

This will enable 32-bit architecture on a 64-bit system. Then, add the repository:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wine/wine-builds

Then update the packages:

sudo apt-get update

Then install:

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-devel

For the in-depth guide, click here. This method should work for Debian as well.
