Here's how I converted 20% and growing of my uni (comp studies) class to Linux
Had a windows 10 machine with 16 gigs RAM and an i7 vs my 6 gigs RAM and i5
I ran Universal USB creator, job done in WINE in 1 min 30-odd secs
the Windows 10 machine after 5 hours died of battery failure.
I.kid.not.
This Friday a few others are bringing their laptops in to receive the mystical penguin.
Collectively (age range 18 - 32) now chanting a wonderful chorus of go fuck yourself MS.
