Will Ubuntu desktop work on a laptop

Hi,

Without the reference of the laptop, it will be very difficult to answer. Anyway, the best is probably just to try: burn a CD and boot on the live CD.

Hope this helps!

Hello,

The large majority of laptops will works, but as Arnausus told you just try it with the Live CD

Thanks for the answer. I have a Fujitsu Lifebook A series. Do you think it
will work?

Definitely worth trying. I'd go for a dual boot system and keep your current operating system just in case it doesn't work. Ubuntu is good with only 5Gb or maybe even less at first. Gparted is great at helping you use space at the end of your drive and the installer helps you set up the dual boot fairly automatically and easily, even for Linux noobs like me.

The desktop version of Ubuntu is definitely the one to go for unless you are going to use your laptop as a server (unlikely).

Thanks Tom, that solved my question.
