Jeffery, I have used Linux Mint and Manjaro with good success. Am
currently using Mint because I got tired of the large, frequent updates
associated with Manjaro, a derivative of Arch Linux. I agree you should
try a few live-CDs to see if the distro recognizes your hardware.
GNUCash availability of current versions is a little spotty because of
some of the old packages that the 2.6 series requires. Manjaro/Arch
Linux/Archlabs provide latest GNUCash versions through what they call
AUR. Recent GNUCash versions for Mint are through get-deb. Generally,
I think GNUCash runs better on the Linux platforms I've tried vs
Windows. Mike

I realize this is the wrong forum to ask but; I am finally looking to
ditch Windoze 10 completely.
I am at my wits end trying to get ubuntu to work with my system. I have
tried every post I can find on activating the ethernet and wifi, none of
which work.
I have an iBUYPOWER intel core I5 computer with the Realtek
RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit ethernet controller, and usb:o
realtek generic usb device 802.11ac wlan adapter (usb 2), all built into
the motherboard. The motherboard model is H170-pro. Meaning I have no
internet, wifi, or networking capability under ubuntu.
I can run ubuntu 14 in a vm window but; it is even slower than Windoze
10 pro 64-bit. And Windoze 10 is painfully slow now. GnuCash takes
forever to load with all the additional junk micro$oft has added. Under
the VM, go to town and eat dinner before GnuCash loads.
Does anyone have a suggestion on what flavor of Unix I should use on
this computer? Wifi, networking and GnuCash are mandatory
requirements for me to switch.
