If your processor can support Hardware Virtualization, download virtualbox and load some .iso files of different Unix distros and then experiment with the distros and try to find one that suits you before you make a definite choice on what to install
I have no idea what you are saying lol.
EDIT: Is it some software to run linux on windows or something?

basically yes, except it can run other operating systems too.


Resetting PC (but keeping windows) and going to install debian on second drive
Can I has someone's skype so I know what I am doing?
My skype name is blueblur112198 if that helps.

But yeah, Becquerel is right. Before doing anything try this stuff in Virtualbox.

Is this desktop your main computer? If so, I think you should stick with Windows on it.

I have a new laptop wich runs much faster. (probably because my desktop was full of stuff) but this has better system specs anyway.
And already added you. Downloaded ubuntu because I've "used" that before and making my USB bootable right now (wich is taking suprisingly long.)

Alright, if you don't use your desktop anyway, I guess it's fine to just go ahead and install it.

Let me accept your request on skype.

EDIT: are you butt_-_man or karsonau? It seems like someone else also added me.

honestly just clean wipe it with windows and host game servers on it.

linux servers are too advanced for you and will most likely go over your head.

Not if he has someone holding his hand through the setup process. Ubuntu is kind of like training wheels anyway.

And not everyone has a windows install disc just lying around.
