man I hate ubuntu

Opinions  are like  :moon: everybody  has one , 🤣 I like it  i use it everyday i been using  Ubuntu Budgie for 2 years now on my Dell  with no problems everything been smooth sailing and just gets better with updates  and  I removed Windows 10 from all my systems and it was the best decision  i ever made , because all Windows 10 had was problems . If you going use windows you are much better off using Windows 8.1 or Windows 7.  I still have Windows 8.1 on another partition  i may boot into it once every 2 or 3 months  for a few minutes  long enough to do a few updates to make sure it still work. My PC  is one of the ones Dell  make with Linux ,  some came with Ubuntu , some  came with windows  and i have both OS on mine.:rofl:
