      lol

      Good question. I mean, if Windows is working fine why change it?
      Well I used Firefox for some time and it was working fine, but I tried other browsers anyway and here I am. Haha, I can't think of a better way to say it. 🙂

      The point is really about your preference over how you want your computer to work, from the core to the UI. You might prefer Windows and the overall way it works - and it offers many customization options - but in the same way you might prefer Linux which will have its own set of different behaviors, settings, ways to access "menus", etc. It's a personal choice.

      It's free...

      You won't need to use an anti-virus anymore for instance, a topic that you seem to worry a lot. (Keep the usual behavior of not installing "unknown software" and don't give root access to every app of course.)

      About your problem with an earlier version of Ubuntu freezing at boot, by searching the web I see cases where this was caused by the kernel (which was certainly already updated by now) / incompatibility with connected hardware (you can try unplugging/checking your HDDs cables, or various USB devices) and not the video card. For my video card the third-party open source driver included in the OS is the best/only option, you might want to research about your video card to see what's the best for it (if there's an open source driver, if it's made by NVIDIA or if there's another one, or a closed source one, and which you should use if it's compatible with the latest version of the kernel), only install a different driver than the one that came with the OS if you know what you're doing.

          Oh... Right. Nice. 🙂

          BTW, it's free to install and use but if you can and want, you can pay how much you think software is worth it (by commercial price or donation). That way you support the developers/companies behind your system of choice, they'll be able to hire more devs and keep improving it.

              The rich live in another world than ours.
              When they feel uncomfortable with the OS, they either leave it to a special guy or buy a new buckBook Porsche Cayenne.
              Or they are those very guys themselves, those of them who got money out of their software.

                Is there any problem to use Linux without swap memory?

                  No, I have never used a swap file in Linux, and I have used Linux in various forms for about 14 years and never had any problems because of it.

                        You shouldn't get lag on your system, assuming it's the same spec as you mentioned ^^^up there^^^ towards the top of the thread, second post.

                        Honestly, give Linux Mint with the MATE desktop a go (try), I find it a much better experience.

                            Yes, Linux Mint 17 (Qiana) with the MATE desktop. I've been using Mint since version 5 (2006), As well as other versions of Linux and it's a really great distro. It's very similar to Ubuntu (as it's based on it), just done better.

                              What kinds of lags?
                              Wouldn't Mint probably lag too?

                              MATE is ridiculous...

                                  While using Opera Developer lags a little, and with Firefox too. Does every Linux system has GRUB? My Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard wireless wasn't working properly in Ubuntu.

                                    Do you think it's something related to the graphics card driver?

                                            No. In Linux the latest Opera is only available for 64-bit systems.
