Enoy it but for software depending on what you are doing and how much disk space you have alotted to your dualboot. Check out Dream studio it is a script that turns ubuntu into a great av editor and creator thing. It is better than ubuntu studio because it’s manager for Jack is easier to use and just works alot better even with my usb sound card mess I used it with. It is basically KXstudio with the app selection of Ubuntu studio. My review: [http://www.mc-tron.net/2013/05/dream-away-dream-studio-review.html](http://www.mc-tron.net/2013/05/dream-away-dream-studio-review.html) edit: IDK I kinda of stopped following ubuntu so it looks like Dream Studio is for 12.0.4.3 the LTS release, but if you like games Awesomenauts is a great game with Linux support. steam link: [Awesomenauts - the 2D moba on Steam](http://store.steampowered.com/app/204300/) ---

Any suggestions? ---

I believe Ubuntu may actually provide you with the appropriate proprietary drivers. Look for an ‘additional drivers’ section or something like that and you should be able to get hold of an NVidia driver that way. Maybe. Worth a punt… ---
