[QUOTE="Hobbes, post: 3320396, member: 3371"] There are lots of helpful videos on YT about linux and migrating from windows to linux. As others have said you can download the OS to a live CD and boot from that CD to see if it has drivers for all your hardware and if you are interested in the OS in general. You can also boot a linux virtual machine in a browser window and try it out there first if you want. This is one site that has many different operating system installations you can try out in a browser windows. [URL]https://distrotest.net/[/URL] You will need to have fairly speedy internet connection and still you might notice some lag in some of the distros. Another option is to install a virtual machine manager like virtualbox that allows you to install and run operating systems. [URL]https://www.virtualbox.org/[/URL] then you can grab a free copy of a linux virtual machine here and run it under that virtualbox. [URL]https://www.turnkeylinux.org/[/URL] The virtualbox option would be for those a bit geeky and like to play around with stuff like this. [/QUOTE]
