[QUOTE="Tiamati, post: 862611, member: 56785"] I'm sure of it. But unfortunately i could not give myself the necessary time to do learn it now. I'll certainly try again after next ubuntu LTS version. It will be release near July if i not wrong. I just wish Linux went through a way that the learning curve could be more intuitive. A lot of programs and commands can only be learned with a guide. For example, i was impressed with so many commands like "sudo" "apt" "sh" "sudo -i" "get-apt purge" and others, that i didn't have any clue about how to use them properly till i start my process of fail and learn. I could learn them indeed, but i would never recomend Linux for someone lacking abilities to deal with it. For example, i'd love to install linux in a old notebook of my parents, but i'm sure they would crucify me later as they would not able to do almost anything they can do by themselves with windows right now. Even creating a folder shortcut in Linux mint was problematic (till i learn Ctrl+shift command) The worst one was Nvidia driver. I tried to install it manually as the Linux version was giving me black screens. For start i had to learn of how to execute the *.run file. After finally executing it, i had to learn how to root and how to locate the file trough commands.

After that i could not disable the driver anymore. I tried nvidia.modset=0, apt purge nvidia and others. The only solution was to reinstall kubuntu.
