It's pretty similar to how old Windows versions worked. You get security updates and bug fixes, but no added features. Like how if you wanted Aero and the things that came with it you had to upgrade from XP to Vista. With regular Windows 10 that doesn't matter since Windows 10 is the "last" version of Windows; you get security updates, bug fixes, and new features. In LTSB you jut get security updates and bug fixes. Once whenever Microsoft seems fit (I assume after a lot of bug fixing) they will update the LTSB to the CB (current branch) and continue only doing security updates and bug fixes until they do another update to CB. I would assume its similar to how 8 updated to 8.1.

Never. It inaccurately portrays WWI and is literally just another reskin of the same shit they've been peddling.

Why don't you just look up benchmarks..? But yes, both the CPU and GPU are perfectly fine for High settings @ 1080p.

Don't use straight Ubuntu, use a lighter version like Xubuntu or Lubuntu (for an even lighter one).

Neither.

What is Linux? Linux is a FOSS (free and open source software) kernel developed by Linus Torvalds. It is the base of many operating systems, typically just called "Linux". A more correct term for this would be "GNU/Linux". The major 3 GNU/Linux distributions are Debian, Slackware, and Redhat. There are many other distributions based off of these main 3; such as Ubuntu, openSUSE, and Fedora respectively. Where should I begin? If you are a new user, then your best bet is to start with either Ubuntu or Linux Mint. Both are incredibly user friendly, stable, and feature rich. Even more advanced users use these due to their ease of use and simplicity. What if my computer isn't that powerful? Linux distributions use something called a desktop environment (DE). There are some incredibly lightweight DEs for older, or not so powerful, computers. Ones such as LXDE or XFCE (LXDE being more lightweight) are very easy on the system, but still work well and have modern features. Are there any Linux distributions with these already installed? Yes. Lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE installed by default, and Xubuntu is Ubuntu with XFCE installed by default. Both of these will work the same; they just have different DEs. Can I game on Linux? You most certainly can! Steam has been out for Linux for some time, and there over 2,500 (and growing) Linux compatible games on just Steam! You can also check out places like GOG for Linux games. With Vulkan in the wild now we can expect more and more Linux games. Nvidia and AMD both seem to have acceptable drivers (performance wise) for Linux. How do I learn how to use Linux? By using it. Literally. Do your day to day routine on it, if you hit a snag, use your favorite search engine to figure out a solution! You will also want to get very familiar with the command line interface (CLI). Be familiar with this will make things a lot easier to deal with.

If you are using Ubuntu or a derivative of Ubuntu (like Lubuntu, Xubuntu, etc), them most of these can be installed from its Software Center. (or from your terminal) If not, then their respective site will more than likely have a repository you can add so you can download it. (or a .deb file which acts as a standalone installer) Since we desperately need a stick/guide for GNU/Linux here I decided to start one. If you have any suggestions or criticisms let me know. I was not sure how I wanted to lay this out, but I ultimately came up with this.

Then wait for a patch. If any come.

Game is a shit port. Refund it.

Inferior knock-off of Overwatch. It's even more casual than Overwatch as well. Fuck Hi-Rez for jumping ships AGAIN to join the current gaming fad, and fuck them for killing Tribes.

Very rarely do you have to download drivers in Linux. Most are built into the kernel.

I didn't find anything on integrated soundcards; ASLA only seems to list dedicated ones on their site. Check out Debian's Wiki page and see if it helps. I still stand by using Ubuntu if you're having issues with drivers OOTB. It has a more up to date kernel, and much easier driver management than Debian.

What motherboard are we talking about here? You haven't given us any information. Though honestly if you are new to Linux you should probably install Ubuntu, or one of its derivatives. They are much easier to use, and typically most things work OOTB.

Prime95? No, not really. You can read the ArchWiki for some programs and what they do. Even if you don't use Arch, their wiki is extremely well documented and informative. Just search "how to do/install x on [your linux distro]".

For whatever reason after I installed the AMD drivers for the computer it would default to the VGA port. I don't know why it did this, and I didn't know how to fix it. I just stuck in a VGA cable from the mobo to my monitor.

GTA V. NMS is complete trash.
