Switching To Ubuntu 14.04 from Windows 8.1
- by Asangam
everyone i am newto these linux stuffs. Currently i'm a user of Windows8.1 .
When windows 8 was roling out i was like i'm never going to leave and will be always
stick to windows8 but now i think it's time to switch linux because being in windows
forever i don't think i can do something very good .I wanted to be OpenSource :) .
So i really dont have any idea about linux . For me the best distro is Ubuntu and
Kubuntu offcourse the latest release . So what i'm afraid of switching to linux is
its compability .The compatibility i'm talking about is with the hardware's and driver's
. For eg sometime after fresh install of windows we need to install the display,usb and
wifi drivers to function . For some computer or brands those driver's are hard to find
and i can't even think of linux how hard are they to find if it needs installing drivers.
So my main question is that do i need to install the drivers for my wifi adapters
display and some other stuffs or the distro i choosed i.e Ubuntu 14.0.4 consists of
those dirvers and what about the 64 and 32bit . My machines is 64bit aso do i need to
install the 64bit one . I mean i know the advantages of installing the 64 bit one but
like windows is it kinda hard to find softwares for the 64 bit one . Or the 32 bit is
recommended . And Yes I will be highly appreciated for the answers to my questions .
Thank You :)
