I plan on putting Linux on my Laptop to make it entirely a work machine. That is, light web browsing, and writing. Which OS should I go for? Default will be Ubuntu.

Why throw linux on it when you already own windows?

Ubuntu for its ease of use and friendly environment

it depends on what write and with what software

also the specs of your laptop

>implying windows is good for web brownsing
The botnet consumes a lot of your bandwith and unnecessary cloud services add even more bloat

Chromium OS

Ubuntu is the most widely used, so when it breaks (weekly) it'll be the easiest to find help fixing.

You mean the easy-to-disable features?
Linux is all well and good if you don't want to buy Windows, but if you already own it, it's kindof pointless unless you need something very specific.

The only reason I use Windows is because of video games. I'd never touch it regardless.

For specs, I got the cheapest laptop I could find.
