Hardinfo will also create HTML reports on your system’s hardware.Hardinfo is a lot like AIDA64 for windows. Hardinfo doesn't have all the monitoring that AIDA64 has but anything you need to know about your Linux system it will have.To install the hardinfo package on your Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04, Xubuntu 18.04, 20.04, Mint 19.3, 20 Linux system/s:Type or copy and paste this hit enter: sudo apt update (or sudo apt-get update)Type or copy and paste this hit enter: sudo apt install hardinfoType or copy and paste this hit enter: hardinfo -rma devices.soTo start the program (you can create a start menu item if you know how)Type or copy and paste this hit enter: hardinfo (After install it can be found on your menu or search as "System Profiler and Benchmark". This is my system it's not Ubuntu 20.04 it's... less

I have three monitors with four "Workspaces" each which equals 12 monitors.As far as I know every FREE Linux Distro can do this. You know something the $200+ operating systems have never mastered. lol Desktop Backgrounds:You can set a single picture or choose a folder and select "Change the background" drop list in seconds, in minutes, in hours, start up...Menu Settings: it's pretty simple check or uncheck the things you want to see on a right click.Again this is not... less

I tried a Gigabyte RX580 & RX560. The screen looks great but games and videos are a mess! AMD/ATI makes drivers for the cards but they make it even worse! If you're not going to be watching movies or playing games you are fine with the stock "Mesa" drivers installed on a Ubuntu/Xubuntu install. If you try to play any game or watch netflix you are going to be in LAG FRAME RATE HELL!What sucks for me I just got rid of all my best Nvidia cards. :( The system, videos, games all run fine on a little EVGA GTX 1050 SC 2 gigs. :( Pop in a 4 gig RX 560 or a 8 gig RX 580 and it runs horrible. And runs even worse once you install the AMDGPU Pro drivers.I tried Xubuntu 16.04.2 which I use with an EVGA RTX 2080 TI Ultra XC! Some people believe it's the older version on Xubuntu/Ubuntu that is the problem. It doesn't support NEW VIDEO CARDS... less

Most will automatically resize your hard and install Linux on a very small partition.This is not Windows Linux doesn't need 50% of your memory to run or 50 gigs of hard drive space. Or like Windows 10 500 gigs of hard drive space so it can store 300 gigs inyour app data temp folder. lol If you re-partition your hard drive yourself leaving unallocated space most versions will find that and install there.

I like this on.python3 is the name of the running program so it will be what ever you're trying to close.gedit, firefox, slimjet...In the command line type killall python3 (The name of whatever program you are trying to shut down)Hit enter and it will close :) less

Only a few specialized programs that run only in Windows or Mac, that you may need for work. Would be the only reason for not using Linux 100% of the time. Most common Linux to switch from Windows or Mac to Linux, would be Ubuntu. Ubuntu When you download Ubuntu, there will be different versions. 32bit, 64bit, newest version supported for 18 months, new version ( missing some bells & whistles) supported for 5 years. Not to worry it will say which version does what. You can download Ubuntu, run it off the CD (LIVE CD), to test and see if you like it. Then it will have an option to install it, on the Live CD Desktop. You will also be given the choice to install it next to windows. Then on start up you have a choice of which to use. It has everything you have in windows plus some: internet browsers, firefox, chromium, opera, open office (libre office), video... less
