    With Ubuntu

    bye bye MS !!

    i said those words one day that i started to install Linux

    i had a fear that i go back to windows a day or more after i install it, but now i dont think that i’m going back to windows :D

    i can feel that my computer feels democracy :D

    every time i look on the requirments for a software , game or windows i look on the minimum requirments section to see if my PC will handle it or not as i know that the recommended requirments will be not in my PC :D

    with linux i saw the minimum , recommended and searched for any other requirments to see

    this is the recomended requirments published on Ubuntu official website

    • 700 MHz x86 processor
    • 384 MB of system memory (RAM)
    • 8 GB of disk space
    • Graphics card capable of 1024×768 resolution
    • Sound card

    • A network or Internet connection

    lol, i feel that i can run this OS on a gameboy and it will run smoothly
