    Most laptops are “made for Windows”, but they run Ubuntu just fine. It’s highly unlikely that wifi isn’t working out of the box nowadays.

    So the only reason not to switch would be if you have certain applications that only work on Windows.

      This person just stated it wasn’t a pleasant experience for them, you’re not going to magically change that by trying to argue it away.

        Dual booting is never a pleasant experience, because Windows is a bitch that fights and breaks the bootloader at every opportunity it can to claim superiority over the computer. But deleting Windows and just running Linux is a perfectly viable and pleasant option.

          It definitely used to, but I have been using my laptop with dual boot Ubuntu / windows 10 since last years summer (using either several times per week, and keeping up with all the updates), and not once did the bootloader break.

          My biggest problem was chasing down the windows drivers, but after that it was golden.
