Hi all
I am contemplating loading the latest version of Ubuntu onto my laptop.
The question is: Is there any astro software that does not work on linux in general and Ubuntu in particular.
Another question that has just occurred to me is: are there any brands of laptop that don't like linux in general and Ubunt in particular? I ask that question because I have read somewhere that some lappies dont like linux.
It would appear that some laptops are designed for windows.
I thought it was the other way around.
This might be a big ask but I thought that maybe the collective knowledge of IIS members might provide a few answers.

Cheers
Nev
