   10 reasons to choose Ubuntu 12.10 over Windows 8

   Microsoft's Windows 8 dominated countless headlines in the weeks leading up to its launch late last month, but October saw the debut of another major operating system as well.

   Microsoft's Windows 8 dominated countless headlines in the weeks leading up to its launch late last month, but October saw the debut of another major operating system as well.

   Canonical's Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" arrived a week ahead of its competitor, in fact, accompanied by a challenge: "Avoid the pain of Windows 8." That slogan appeared on the Ubuntu home page for the first few hours after the OS's official launch, and attracted considerable attention.

   Apparently Canonical decided to tone down its message later in the day — the slogan now reads "Your wish is our command" — but it seems fair to say that the underlying challenge remains.

   I've never used any of the free operating systems so can't really comment on their suitability for what I'd want out of a system. I'd be quite happy to try if I knew all of my games would still play on the OS, but as far as I know from the limited research I've done, most of my games would not work.

   Can anyone whose used a free OS confirm this or am I missing something? (i.e is there an emulator that would allow me to play ALL of my considerable collection of Windows based games on Ubuntu?)

   You can use wine to run windows games and it free but you may find it better to stay with windows as some games not work as good if at all but most are ok

   ubuntu is ok I like Mint better it ubuntu with Audio and Video CD/DVD Tools so you don't need to download ubuntu download 700 MB MINT 1 GB Free ISO download or you may get a free disk in the mail I did a few years back
