Moving from Windows 10 to Ubuntu - Conclusion

-
I have been trying Linux for a few weeks on my laptop and the results have been surprising. I found a new world when it comes to operating systems with lot's of wonderful things and some bitter one's. The initial impressions were good but after some time my experience got worse.
