Linux Ubuntu

[FairladyZ]

If I installed Ubuntu would I be able to get appropriate drivers? The websites for most of my parts list "Windows Download" and I really want Linux, since my PC is getting older, and Windows is really slowing down.

Yes you should it auto detects your drivers except maybe graphics but its been around for awhile and supports basically any system.

It auto-detects most drivers.

I am going to go out on a whim and say yes. I have no idea what PC you have but for the most part I have found Linux Ubuntu and Mint (which is based off Ubuntu) to fairly easy to install. I installed Mint on a Samsung NC10 notebook and all drivers were automatically installed without any hassle.

 

I recently installed a few different distros on a AMD Phenom II build with a HD4850. GPU drivers were a bit tricky due to legacy drivers being required (as I needed to configure stuff) but search around and you should be able to figure it out no bother.

Linux is actually not too bad with drivers... in most cases even printers and scanners work out of the box

Everything, internet, keyboard, mouse. Only GPU needs drivers somethimes.

Mostly the os auto detect the drivers needed.
