I stopped using Ubuntu when they started that crappy Unity interface. It’s unusable.

This is written to make it sound like Ubuntu is riddled with spyware:
“The tech world is taking notice of these and other changes in the operating system. PCWorld reported on the big changes in 16.04 and Softpedia called it “an entire operating system of spyware.””

So, has Linux fixed their issues with NVidia cards yet?

“Microsoft seems to be rolling out updates to Windows 7 and 8 that bring them into line with the “spyware” elements of Windows”
The Feb 9 updates included some of this and also caused my Corel Video Studio to not start. MS attitude was, too bad not our problem.
I removed the Microsoft updates and now I proudly fly the “you have updates turned off” flag on my Win7 notifications toolbar.

It's a blast! I just installed it. There were a few problems getting it to play DVDs, but the key turned out to be installing libdvdcss2. I also had some trouble installing Minitube when I used the default software installer. I had to install the classic gdebi package installer [sudo apt-get install gdebi] in order to properly install the downloaded Minitube.deb file.

While there is always a learning curve when migrating to a new operating system, the curve switching to Ubuntu from Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 is nowhere near as steep as it is from any of those to Windows 10. It is such typical hype as this that is an argument against Linux. As a long time Windows "power user" who has tried every major and some minor Linux distros (i just booted up the latest Remix beta on a another PC to see if i can run an app on it), i can attest that the above statement is absurd, and indicates the writer is ignorant of Windows 10. It is not much of a learning curve at all to go from W/7 which most W/8 users would be familiar with, and with the simple addition of Classic Shell Windows 8 or 8.1 is little different from Vista or Win 7.
In contrast, switching to any Linux distro from Windows is a far greater learning curve unless you just want to surf the Internet.
