For a given hardware configuration, how do I find out if Ubuntu will run on it? What considerations should I take into account when choosing an Ubuntu version and  such as:    with a lighter desktop than the usual Gnome and Unity  with the even lighter LXDE desktop   Obviously Ubuntu does not run on some processor architectures. So how do I go about choosing the right version and derivate. How can I find out the minmal system requirements?

Alright so my computer is 64-bit and I only want to use Linux to install Steam, play Team Fortress 2 and get that penguin item but It's not working out for me. The version of Ubuntu I installed was the "Wubi.exe" which let's me use it along with Windows. But when I get it up and download the Steam .deb file, it tells me "Wrong Architecture 'i386'". What do I have to do to run Ubuntu alongside windows without using a CD/USB stick?

I have a computer (Asus T200TA) with 2G RAM and 32-bit UEFI [Yep, what a wonderful idea to put 32-bit UEFI!]. I have two options:   Install a 64-bit system, boot manually and install grub-efi-ia32. Drawback: 2G is not much, systems with such low RAM are said to run better on 32-bit systems. Install a 32-bit version. (but from my state of knowledge it's not trivial to boot)   Which option would be better?

I installed Ubuntu on a Dell XPS 13 laptop that had Windows 10 preinstalled on it. I installed it from a USB flash drive on a partition. When I boot my computer I can only boot into Windows 10 and Ubuntu is nowhere to be seen.  If I boot into my USB then I can see that Ubuntu is installed, but I can't get to it from the BIOS boot menu.

, you have the following two options:        64-bit   32-bit (for machines with less than 2GB RAM)      Assuming you have a 32-bit machine with the maximum 4GB of RAM, will Ubuntu will work on that?

I'm very new with Ubuntu and generally with linux. I saw ubuntu and it seems like this OS is really good and stable, and so I decided to install it alongside my windows 7 OS.  I have a few problems with the installation. Here is what I did:   I downloaded the 64bit version from Ubuntu official website, and burned it on a dvd. I set the boot sequence to first load from my CD-Rom. Ubuntu installation started, and I chose "Install Ubuntu" in the menu. (where there is also a "Try Ubuntu" option) I clicked forward until I got into the installation type screen    As you can see, the installation wont show my actual details about my hard drive! I have 1 hard drive with 750 GB - 80 GB - My main drive with windows 7 OS 600GB - All of my stuff 20GB Free space that I saved for Ubuntu But the installation wont show that!

After I choose to reboot the computer when ubuntu 13.10 done installing, I booted again with the "Try Ubuntu" or "Install now"  I chose install now (note that I installed ubuntu already) and it had 3 options:   Reinstall windows and install ubuntu or something like that Reinstall ubuntu And format everything and install ubuntu again   I chose back, and I chose the "try ubuntu"  Is this normal? All my system is functioning ok right? I have every feature like a normal ubuntu user cause I installed it right??

I'm a completely new user of Linux and since my computer is not a good machine I wanted to install 32 bit OS, I downloaded ubuntu desktop for 32 bit but when I check in system settings under details it says my OS type is 64 bit, I downloaded it from the site  choose Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and set it as 32-bit (machines with less than 2GB RAM).
