Ubuntu will work. Easy peasy. Most PC and laptops will run way better on Ubuntu since it doesn’t come with all the bloatware Windows does.

I’m running Kubuntu on a Dell Optiplex 7060 microtower that I bought dirt cheap. I love it!

Ubuntu is more difficult to run. Requires using command line.

Won’t run a lot of popular programs and games.

Won’t run Android apps.

I have been dual or triple booting nearly all of my computers for decades along with setting up virtual machines. There are still many programs and games that are designed for Windows and do not work well if at all in Ubuntu.

Drivers are often more refined for Windows than Ubuntu, much of the time Windows runs better on the same PC than Ubuntu. This is true for components from touchpads to GPUs.

In addition, most people know there way around Windows better than Ubuntu so when an issue arises it typically takes more research to figure it out.
