People who are primarily Linux users:

What do you see as a benefit of having windows?

I recently installed linux (Ubuntu) onto my PC and im liking it so far. I'm planning on getting a laptop and installing linux on it as ill be doing CS at university but id like to know what advantages Windows has since i'm not sure if I should partition my hard drive and dual boot or just use exclusively Ubuntu (Since my SSD will only be 512gb)

edit: im big dumb

Hi Everybody,

I just started working with Linux. I think Linux is a great OS to learn and you have many opportunities. I just started a new Job involving Linux (Redhat/centOS)

Now my question is, do you guys know anybooks or any (Free?) Training courses? I've been learning alot the past 2weeks but i can and want to do more. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Can anyone help me?

Ok so this is about a game that i used to played on ubuntu about 8 years ago. Then i moved to windows and now that i am in college, i am using ubuntu again for coding.

So my question is, Do anyone here played a 2-D game on ubuntu that has a small rocket which looked like "capital letter v" and you got about 3-4 maps just to wander here and there, and you can also play multiplayer(offline on the same device), there was no objective, no enemies.

Can anyone help me to find that game?

Removing Windows 10 for Linux

This is probably a really stupid question, but I have an old unused dell optlfiex running Windows 10 pro (which came pre installed). If I ditch this and install Linux instead (dual boot seems a bit much and it only has a 250gb HDD), would I be easily able to go back to Windows if needed by simply installing latest version on top and using the same product key?

I had a quick look and the current HDD partitions appear like a mess... i think 4 or even 5 small system partitions separate to C:, .. unsure if these were done by Dell or Windows... presumably I just clear completely and start over? .., but will this harm something , or remove some kind of valuable ‘restore ‘ option.

I don’t want to lose the Windows 10 option. The product key is on the machine itself,

I am considering elementary as my first distro. Install Ubuntu once and did not like the way it looked.

I’d like to do the Arch install from scratch but need to work toward that I think and lots more research needed....

Thanks in advance from a real newbie

Linux and 4k monitors

What is the best desktop environment for running 4k monitors? Gnome, and Ubuntu 19.04 just don't handle it gracefully. I've followed guides to set 150% scaling but it doesn't come into effect. The default scale is far too small to read and 200% scaling is just way too big.

I've been a developer using a mac for some time so 4k has never been a problem. However, I've switched job and am a c# developer using Windows. I've been provided with a Windows laptop and I've returned my MacBook to my previous company. The problem I have is I just don't like using Windows, and prefer living in Linux space, so at home, any home projects I'm likely to do, will still be in Python/PHP/Javanoscript and maybe even DOTNET core.

​

Ideally, I'd like to get up and running with Ubuntu/Debian. I've used Manjaro/Arch/CentOS etc before but I want to spend a bit less time configuring my OS and actually using it.

​

Tools and apps I use daily are:
Docker

PHPStorm / Rider / PyCharm / Webstorm / VSCode

MySQL Workbench

Spotify

​

I prefer the command line to GUI's but happy to use either / both.

Previous post [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/clfxel/visualization_for_any_shell_command_right_from/) got many upvote, but also many bad comment because of the licencing.

Since then, the project seems to have switched to GPLv3. I thought it was worth keeping you guys posted.
