I'm thinking about installing Ubuntu Desktop, but I don't know what flavor is the best for my system. What are the minimum and recommended hardware requirements? What kind of CPU? How much memory? Should I have Hardware Acceleration? What flavor should I use?  This is an attempt of a canonical answer. My answers have the &quot;official  requirements&quot;, the recommended are a mix of official sources and opinion based (along with the answer it's told the source). You can comment or edit if you feel that the information is obsolete or incomplete. It is a good rule of thumb that any system capable of running Windows Vista, 7, 8, x86 (Intel) OS X will almost always be a lot faster with any Ubuntu flavor even if they are lower-spec than described below.

I recently stumbled over the Ubuntu for Tablets video, where Mark Shuttleworth presents how Ubuntu is going to look on tablets.  However, he said one thing that struck me at: . He said that Ubuntu could run "all Windows apps".  How does this work? Was he talking about Wine (which definitely can't run every Windows program) or did he mean something else?

I am a heavy user of certain applications that are built on AIR.   It appears that AIR has discontinued support for Linux. Even the older versions in the Adobe AIR Archives seem to support only 32 bit Linux distributions and I am on 64 bit currently.  Is there even a slight possibility that I could run AIR in these conditions? If so, can you please tell me where can I get a detailed step by step installation for this?

I want to do a small computer just for internet browsing. I dont want to load a desktop environment to keep RAM, CPU and GPU ussage as low as possible. The computer is going to run on a ARM CPU. I dont care with Distro I use, I thought about good old plain Debian.

My processor is an . As you can see, it's 2 cores and 4 threads.  Although, both Ubuntu 11.04 and Windows 7 seem to think it's a quad-core CPU:      Why is this? Is it because there are 2 threads per core, dividing the CPU in 4 processing units?

I use Steam and I have nearly 200 games for it   How compatible or friendly is Ubuntu with DirectX?  Also keep in mind that several of my favorite games use GFWL such as Fable 3, Dawn of War 2, Red Faction Guerrilla among others.   I have been thinking about installing Ubuntu to run alongside Windows but first, I need to know how reliable Ubuntu is as a gaming platform?

I need to use CUDA for work and have upgraded Ubuntu without checking (my bad) whether CUDA supports Ubuntu 18.10, turns out .  The last supported version is Ubuntu 18.04.5. When do you think CUDA will support Ubuntu 18.10 ? And if it'll take a while, what would be the best way to downgrade my version to 18.04 ?  Thanks for your time.

I am using Dell Ubuntu Mini 10 version of Ubuntu.  The problem is: I tried both 12.04 and 13.04, but both are extremely slow on this laptop.So I am now running 11.04 which is near it's End Of Life and will give no further support.  So what should I do now? Is there any better option than using 11.04?

Are there still general problems using the Ubuntu 64bit version ? I heard that most of the programs do not work out of the box?  Will I notice a significant speed-boost? Until now I have always used Ubuntu 32 bit.

I want to ask a question I am a new user to Ubuntu and I am    going to install it on my PC and Remove Windows as I have read a lot    about Ubuntu and how it's solid based system and that it's more    stable and stronger but to be honest I am a bit afraid of installing    it as I don't have the drivers CD so Does Ubuntu need drivers or not    ? and how do I check that all the drivers are installed and updated    and work correctly ? and If I want to install a driver will Ubuntu    help me to search for it and install it ?  and will Ubuntu install the sound card . the internet card and the graphics etc. automatically or not waiting for your replies    cheers :)

I would like to run Ubuntu on my new Thinkpad E470. Is Nvidia Optimus supported? It used to be that you would have to run the proprietary drivers with the dGPU enabled always instead of using the iGPU. Has the situation improved, especially regarding battery life? If possible I would just run with the iGPU as I don't plan to do any gaming. Would I just refrain from installing the proprietary driver to achieve this?

My PC has both Ubuntu and Windows 7 installed. I have installed all my drivers in Windows like Nvidia graphics, motherboard etc. Shall I install them in Ubuntu too?  I looked on the web for my Nvidia drivers and I have found a .run file. How could I install it on my Ubuntu?

I am considering trying to setup a  system. It seems like this would be pretty straight forward if I had two graphics cards or if I didn't need hardware based OpenGL acceleration. Is it possible to setup a multi seat system with only a single dual-headed graphics card?
