@piaaMRBASS Basically, when you switch to Linux, you will need to find alternatives to the software you use on windows. For example, iTunes = Banshee, fl studio = LMMS + Audacity + Ardour, Real Player = VLC, Sony Vegas Pro = Kdenlive, WinRar = preinstalled, WinFF = ffmpeg, cool edit pro?, bittorrent = qbittorrent, k-lite = preinstalled, avast = no need because no virus on linux, adobe products = Not available. Netgear USB wireless adapter = Windows driver wrapper. Hope that helps. :-)

Again I spoke too soon. I see the Chromium Web Browser available for download included in the Ubuntu Software Center top Rated section. Thanks for this excellent review/tutorial! you really helped me a lot man!

@abaneyone i'm not an ubuntu user but you can find if you search "chromium ubuntu" via google

[abaneyone]

Sorry. I listened to you again and heard you say that you added Chromium. How and ware did you get it?

[abaneyone]

At 6;54 I see that you have the Chromium Web Browser. Was that already installed or did you add it? If you added it, ware and how did you get it? I'm running Ubuntu via Oracle VM VirtualBox on my Windows 7 Core 2 Duo Lenovo laptop. I have been looking for Chromium OS for the web browser. Seems that Ubuntu is easier to find and install then Chromium.

@Hazzard67 do you if ubuntu has the ability to allocate cpu power to a program. . because i have 980x six core and converting movies still takes half an hour and my cpu usage never exceeds 20% can i allocate more cpu to the program on ubuntu?

[golickacat]

@InfinitelyGalactic so no flash player for youtube videos?

[Hazzard67]

@Antonio001z I wouldent say none. But Very few.

Just so you guys know, it IS possible to get a virus on linux. There aren't many but there are still out there.
