I'm pretty new to Ubuntu/Linux as a whole, but I'm ready to jump in. I have a Windows 10 machine that only mines since I have a Mac which is my preferred machine. So I'd like to setup Ubuntu on that PC. Any guides that you recommend I look at? What problems should I expect to run into? I've posted the specs below with my peripherals:
CPU: Intel i7 6700K
Mobo: Asus Z170-A
RAM: 16GB of DDR4 at 2333MHz
GPU: Nvidia GTX 970
Storage: 1 Samsung SSD 250GB, 2 WD Blue 1TB HDD at 7200RPM
CPU Cooler: NZXT X62
Mouse/Keyboard: Both are from Razer
WiFi card: TP-Link AC1300
I know that NordVPN (my VPN service) and Firefox (the browser I currently use) work on Debian, so I should be safe there. The rest will be new territory for me.
All help is much appreciated!
By the way, I'm planning to completely wipe the 3 current drives I have to start fresh with Ubuntu. The Windows product key is associated with my Microsoft account in case I need to revert back and reinstall Windows.
Also, is Ubuntu even the best distro to use? I'm only familiar with Ubuntu and Linux Mint, and based on appearance, Ubuntu is much nicer. I also feel like they both have pretty large support communities, but Ubuntu's is stronger.
