Hi guys,
im planning on switching to Linux (most probably Ubuntu) this weekend but ive heard from my friend that Linux doesnt pair very well with laptops.
As the title says, I own Lenovo Legion y520 80wk and after browsing the Lenovo's website and forums I didnt manage to find my model in the compatibility list,
thus i have a question:
1) did anybody have experience with Lenovo Legion laptops (especially with my model)?
2) Is there much of a difference between Ubuntu installed on Laptops vs the ones on Servers? (because thats one of the main reasons im installing it)
3) Is the installing really worth it in general or that be a pain in the ass for me to use it when it comes to updating drivers and dealing with/audio/wifi/bluetooth compitability?
For reference:
1) Im a Windows user who got a bit tired of random viruses on my laptop (although recently ive been installing only programming related apps like code editors or SQL clients like PL/SQL from official websites)
2) The performance of my laptop been going down lately
3) Im switching to Linux to get used to its commands, which would be helpful in my future job that im switching into (Data Engineering), and would like to try something new in general
4) I never installed any OS myself (yes thats quite ironical to hear from a wannabe guy whos switching to tech job, but im very eager to learn)
Any answers and step-by-step guides would be much appreciated!
