Hi all,
I have a PC with pirated Windows on it, and I don't want it to be this way.
All I do on it is multimedia - music, movies and work on my on-line shop ( which is web-based, so no software installed). Do I really need to pay 120 Eur for Windows and then 100 Eur for Office 365 ? I feel like I can get by with Linux Distro + Libre office.
I've never used Linux in my life. I downloaded Ubuntu 16.10 on my external SSD drive, booted and clicked the option "Try". It loaded the environment in 1 min or so. Doesn't look that scary to be honest.
Will my peripherals work ? - Logitech G602 + Logitech C910 ( webcam works fine actually), Creative X-fi Go pro soundcard?
Will USB flash drives work ? Will I be able to format them on NTFS ? ( I tried one and it seems ok ) ?
Closing the windows is on the left. If necessary with tutorial, I guess I can use The TERMINAL....but I hope I don't really need to meet it. I am no programmer.
Anyone that has survived on Linux permanently or for long periods of time ?
