I'm absolutely new to Linux. I would like to know how to install Ubuntu alongside the pre-installed Windows 8+ OS.  Should I do it with Wubi, or through the Live USB/DVD?  What steps do I need to take to correctly install Ubuntu?

I'm looking to download and install the latest version of Ubuntu to replace the current version of Windows I had pre-installed on my machine when bought it.   I have some really neat features on the machine that I really am hoping will still work when I move over to Ubuntu.  Can someone please confirm if the below will still work and, if not, how I can get them to work:   The USB ports on my machine The ethernet or Network work port on the machine The HDMI output on the machine and finally, the built in webcam   Thanks Sam

I installed Ubuntu in the dual-boot configuration so that I can still boot up in Windows. But I just want to get Windows off of the machine.  Anyone know how to do this without having to go through another Ubuntu install? Also are all of the Ubuntu updates safe to take? Does Ubuntu have restore points in case something goes haywire from the updates?

Which OSes can be put into the new bootloader that Windows 8 provides?   It seems to be quite pretty and consistent with the rest of the new Windows 8 design, so it would be cool to put Linux (Ubuntu) into it instead of using  or . Besides on my personal system, Linux will be put on a hard drive and not the , so it would be a bit faster.

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and found out that we can install Unity 8 on it. Will Unity 8 replace Unity 7 once I install it? And if it does can I switch back to Unity 7 if I want? How would one go about it?

I am going to change my machine: from a laptop with Ubuntu to another laptop where I am going to install Ubuntu...  I am quite happy with the current system, what I am afraid of is having to rebuild everything from 0.  So what do people often do to clone an Ubuntu system? That may include the data, packages, shortcut settings, etc...

A new version of Ubuntu has been released. I still can't find it on ubuntu.com. Where can it be downloaded from, or is it the only way to install it using update-manager to upgrade an existing installation?

I installed Ubuntu 14.04 onto my Acer Aspire E15. The PC has a 500 Gigabyte HDD.   During the installation it divided the HDD into separate partitions. However every time I turn on the PC it goes directly into Windows 8.1. It doesn't allow you the opportunity to select which OS you want to use.   Question 1: How do I set the PC so it will allow me to select the OS?  Question 2: And if #1 isn't possible. How to I remove Ubuntu from the PC and recover the partition for Windows

How can I reinstall Ubuntu 13.04 safely, without losing anything except settings? Is it possible? Or at least keep only programs and the home directory?  I want to reinstall as I have recently experienced various issues like the scrolling being very jumpy and lightdm rendering weirdly. Can someone more experienced explain how to reinstall Ubuntu as I have been searching in vain for days. Thanks in advance.
