I think it's about time I Dual booted my Home PC with Windows 10 and Ubuntu GNOME. Been living the Windows exclusive life for to long.
It's all about having options.

Win 10 comes with Ubuntu. You'll have to research it for the details.

@iAmNaN what do you mean by that?

@nicnaknic Win 10 (Anniversary) has a full Ubuntu based Bash shell that lets you run Linux software in Windows. Presently it is CLI only, but that will probably change.

@iAmNaN oh ya PowerShell right?
I use it, but I want the full Linux experience

@nicnaknic it's actually a full bash shell, no PowerShell involved and you can do quite a lot with it! It could be a good way to bridge the gap if you're just starting out with Linux. But you are right eventually you'll want the full experience.

@j-bro I've had various Linux distros on VMs in the past, I just want to have a bootable partition for it now.
But ya I always use PowerShell over CMD. Which is the full Linux shell though?

And technically, if you role up your sleeves and do the work, you CAN get x-windows running, and run a GUI; it's just not supported at this time.

@nicnaknic once you enable bash in Windows you can then use it with the `bash`command from either PowerShell or CMD. Technically it's not either of them though, just using their terminal emulators 🙂

I've found the last few versions of Ubuntu to be incredibly buggy. Even the latest LTS, 16.04 throws system errors daily for me. I'd recommend Debian, Linix Mint or Elementary. Much more stable even though the latter two are Ubuntu based.

That's strange, for me when I had Ubuntu running on my VMs (v16.04) I didn't get many issues at all. Ran smooth even with minimal system resources dedicated to the VM
