I do not understand - the original poster does not clarify - what was the problem with Ubuntu. I make this point because, as some of you may recall, I have an Acer V3-772G, with an NVidia GPU, for which, as I found, the only operating system other than MS Windows, that had a driver, was Ubuntu Linux. If the original poster does not like the interface, that can be changed; I did not like the default Ubuntu Linux interface, so I installed UbuntuMATE, with the MATE interface, to provide an interface with which I was more comfortable. Simply stating that a person is "disappointed" with a particular operating system, is as helpful as complaining that the person has a problem, without stating what it is. The original poster needs to provide clarification - is the screen the wrong colour, or the default font, too small, or the taskbar in the wrong place, or the name "Ubuntu", to weird for the original poster, that the original poster has as a reason for being "disappointed" with Ubuntu? -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
