Just to touch base with you, how did It all go? Did you go ahead with the process?

And don't hesitate to ask If you need help.

I ended up jumping to Ubuntu mostly because my upcoming programming class the instructor uses Ubuntu, so i figured i should try to get used to it so far i like it, but i choose the option to dual boot along side of windows ten but its seemingly impossible to get back to windows

Ubuntu's not a bad first choice ( I mean, the colors make my eyes bleed, but that's OK)

Why is it impossible to get back to windows? Legit bootloader trouble or have you totally come to the Dark Side and never want to see that botnet again?

its a bootloader issue i think because at select OS it only shows ubuntu, i choose the option to boot along side of windows 10 so i would assume i should be able to switch back to windows 10 :/
EDIT: running some commands i found this Found Windows 10 (loader) on /dev/sda1
the command i ran was this:
sudo apt-get install os-prober
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
being a linux noob i have no idea what that really did, i have an idea but this is what i found to do via google
Edit once again: That command actually fixed everything

Does Xubuntu now support changing proxy via settings like UBuntu does? That's only reason I left Xubuntu for Ubuntu

Good Luck!

Note: Debian is OK for a start, but I recommend OpenSUSE, or something Arch based (like Antergos or Manjaro).

If you wan't a distro for hacking or pentesting then use Kali (more support) or Antergos + Blackarch/ArchStrike (I find this to be better than Kali)
If you need stability then go with OpenSUSE, beats Debian any day!

Other Note: Don't even think about Ubuntu (or derivitives) (I find it to be unstable and bloated)

It should, even if it doesn't then you can always install the same packages that plain Ubuntu uses for it.

This is true if you are using the full desktop versions of Ubuntu, or just about any distribution, and if you're really anti-bloat, then a full desktop environment like Gnome, KDE, Unity, just isn't going to work. It's not even about the distribution, it's about what you're doing with it, and the differences beyond the DEs among distributions for millionandbell are not going to become apparent until they become necessary, so:

millionandbell: It's awesome that you've made the dive into Linux! I highly recommend at one point trying to go from a minimal CLI install, and installing everything manually: setting up X server, install a window manager like i3 (very easy to install and setup, after of course you've got X running fine), and configuring it all on your own. It's a very rewarding experience, though make sure you have another computer handy to look up how to do everything. If nothing else, start doing more in the terminal; and do it efficiently and well. There's always a way to do it through CLI. Good luck and like has been said before, if you have questions, you've got some very knowledgeable people in this forum that I'm sure will be glad to help.

Footnote: I dual boot OS X and Ubuntu Server 16.04 on my MacBook, Ubuntu Server is a pure CLI install (not even for a server, I just can never get the Desktop mini.iso to play nice with my MacBook) and I don't plan on setting up an X server or even installing i3, let alone ricing it. It's easy to install, and runs extremely well. To many, pretty much the only difference between distributions is their theme, in that when people mention how shitty Ubuntu is, they really mean that they hate the awful colors of Unity. Again, if one really wants a lightweight distribution, it's not terribly difficult to install x11-common or whatever package it is, then install i3. It can be even easier; install your standard full, Ubuntu desktop and then install i3 and just choose it at the login manager.

As much as I love linux, its not a daily driver for me, especially since it wont play nice with my motherboard.
