My PC specs:  NVIDIA GeForce GT610  Intel Core i3-4170 3.7GHz  64-bit 8GB RAM  Windows 8.1 Enterprise  I was planning to install 14.04 but I need to know if I can run it on my pc.

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?

This is the third reinstall of Ubuntu 14.04 I have done today.  I just bought a laptop with an Core i3 processor and an Nvidia GeForce GT 840M graphics card.  I have installed the Nvidia driver using their .run file, and also following tutorials, and it just doesn't work. When I check in the terminal which GPU I am using it says "i915" instead of "nvidia".

I downloaded the Nvidia driver for Linux from the official Nvidia website to install in my laptop. It is a file named NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.67.run. How to install this file?

I recently installed 14.04.  But now I need a new driver for my nVidia GeForce GT 630. The former driver was rejected as not compatible with the 64-bit. I found that other driver and when I wanted to install it in the terminal with sh I was called first to stop the x-server. It cannot be installed with running x-server.  So how do I install them?

Ubuntu can't be installed on my system because of what the title says. This is because support Intel HD Graphics 530 was only just added in Linux kernel 4.3 and all versions of Ubuntu only have kernel versions up to 4.2 as of 15.10. My computer's processor is the new Intel Skylake 6600K if you need to know, everything else is generic. It has a UEFI BIOS motherboard. Help?

I play world of tanks (a Game) in windows. Will it work on ubuntu? Better, worse, same? I would like to try Ubuntu but not if w.o.t won't work.

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'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 want to run/install .exe files that require Windows 7 or higher in Wine on Ubuntu.   When I try to install a specific .exe file on Wine, it says      Windows version is not supported! You can install it in Windows 7 or higher.   How can I configure which Windows version (XP, Vista, 7, 8, ...) Wine emulates?

I use Blender with my iMac Late 2012 and I have the graphics card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M. In the internet it says, that this graphics card has CUDA but however I cannot change the 'Compute Device' in my User Preferences. Anyone an idea?

Is there any tutorial to install CUDA on Ubuntu 18.04?  The instructions on the Nvidia website for 17.04 and 16.04 do not work for 18.04.  I get a message telling me to reboot then re-run the installer.  However when I do this I get that same message again.

I've already installed Steam, but when I click on the program I get this message  ERROR- You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run: not   I don't know what to install or even do.

The minimum system requirements for 18.04 are "2 GHz dual core processor or better"; would a quad-core at 1.8 GHz meet (or approximate) this requirement?

I have 14.04.5/16.04 or newer and an AMD GPU. I'm not getting the performance I want, and some programs say they need things like OpenCL.  I've heard about fglrx, but if I try to install it on my machine, it breaks and I have no GUI.  Is there anything I can do to get my AMD card working to its full potential?

My laptop diagnostic shows several pre-fails and has other issues so I am urgently shopping for a new laptop, my second using Ubuntu. I need a laptop with good graphics capabilities and have come across a couple with the Nvidia GeForce 840M graphics card. In other words, I do not have a problem now and am hoping to avoid one.  My research on Ask Ubuntu and elsewhere shows that there have been some bugs with Ubuntu 14.04 and Nvidia drivers (not just for the 840M driver) but that fixes were made or a least suggested. But I have seen nothing definitive, e.g. the Ubuntu Certification for laptops is barely starting with 14.04.  I am about to spend a 1000 dollars and would love a little more assurance before I proceed -- my understanding is that a Live CD cannot perform a full simulation. Are there easy-to-recognize concrete factors which make compatibility (more) predictable, such as specific models of computer and their processors?  I am a considering a  with an Intel i5 4200M  and an  with an Intel i7 4700HQ. Both use an Nvidia 840M graphics card.
