Contents

Most computers can run Linux, but some are much easier than others. Certain hardware manufacturers (whether it’s Wi-Fi cards, video cards, or other buttons on your laptop) are more Linux-friendly than others, which means installing drivers and getting things to work will be less of a hassle.

Can Linux be installed on a Windows PC?

Linux is a family of open-source operating systems. They are based on the Linux kernel and are free to download. They can be installed on either a Mac or Windows computer.

Can Linux run on any motherboard?

Linux will run on pretty much anything. Ubuntu will detect the hardware in the installer and install the appropriate drivers. Motherboard manufacturers never qualify their boards for running Linux because it’s still considered a fringe OS.
