Hey guys, my name is Caydn! I am a software engineering student in the U.S
After hearing about this release of Ubuntu and how it really has been a hit, I have been considering switching over!
What I was hoping for was some advice about switching over.
I have 2 computers. One is a desktop and my main programming space. It will continue to run Windows because I do like the environment… I have been using Windows since I was about 4!
The second is a laptop! More specifically a Lenovo y510p (I think?)… Something like that… It is a pretty beast little laptop with an i7, 8gb of ram, etc… Pretty decent little machine!
I was thinking about making the switch over to Ubuntu on the laptop and using it in classes, and for working on programming projects.
The main reason for this, is because I understand that there is SO much users can do in Linux and I would really like to achieve that potential!
Anyways, I just wanted to know what your guys’ thoughts are on me switching over. What kind of advice would you give me before I take the plunge? Would it be a good idea, or should I stick to the Windows environment that I am used to? Also, if you think I should make the switch, what are some TOP NOTCH tutorials you guys know about learning the linux environment. I know that the transition is quite the learning curve!
Thanks for any advice!
