The MX twins have options for smooth scrolling or a ratchet like scrolling.
 
With Smooth scrolling, you can easily spin the scroll wheel and it'll travel for a good while.
With the ratchety scrolling, the scroll whell won't scroll as much if you were to quickly spin it.
 
Control vs speed.

I am using ubuntu as my main OS now because of a few reasons, the most recent being a display driver conflict after the latest update... there's just so much stuff that now in windows you have so little control over and have to keep fighting against your own machine just to have it be useable sometimes. I like a lot of things about windows, and about linux.. they both have their limitations though. So I decided to go with the stability of ubuntu, and just use windows in the VM for those few programs that don't have a linux equivalent (that I have found yet) and so have to use windows for. I am whittling it down little by little, the main thing that's bugging me about ubuntu at the moment is not being able to select network drives, for instance for caliber my NAS holds the book database, and can't select it as no network options show up. This could be down to my little knowledge of linux, and I did ask for help here, but nobody replied.. so for now I am using caliber in my VM of windows where I can select the network drive fine even though it's within the host machine and using a VPN, I can still just select the network address such as \\192.168.200.78\media\caliber, and belhold my book collection is there for me, lol.
 
It's OK anyway, I don't mind really.. took me like 1-2 hours max to set up the VM and all the programs I still need for windows. And because I only use it for those must have programs, I am still learning little by little more about linux
 
I am also using ubuntu 16.04, and just recently re-installed. I learnt something along the way, that using Gparted you can extend partitions whichever way you have space for, and then the extended partition gets re-written in the case of active OS, which is quite useful.
 

@wilamu: I want linux to be my main work OS, since I will be a programmer someday.

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS :D, hmmm nice advice, ok then this will be my plan then I will keep my laptop running windows since the specs on this thing can run games well, while PC will be full ubuntu since specs are old and not that game friendly

my desktop is wife
my laptop is concubine

DEFINITELY NOT, I know the person with the highest benchmarking custom PC in The U.S., and he said he never uses more than 7 gigs in any benchmarks or anything. Unless you're like rendering full-length movies or transferring hundreds of gigabytes at a time, no need to upgrade. I have 8 and I don't think I'll ever upgrade.

No, 8gb for gaming is already enough, for me a 16gb ram and possible higher are for high res video editing.
 
Could someone by the way tell me what will happen if my processor is small or not that powerful (2nd-3rd gen intel core 3) , and I have have a 8-16gb of ram for video editing?
