Re: Will ubuntu work as a sole os?
I have used Ubuntu for a little over 5 years now, and as sole OS for about a year and a half. (on my laptop, and now on my desktop as well)
and I would say that if you have no need of any windows only software, or if that windows only software works "platinum" in wine, then go for Ubuntu only.
Dualbooting is IMO only a temporary solution, as i find having everything on my computer split up to be a pain.
Ubuntu is generally a much better user experience (again, in my opinion) and when my Desktop cmputer ran windows 7 i still preferred using my laptop, because it was simply a better platform to use, windows generally being too slow at starting and running. it felt like my laptop was a much much better piece of hardware. So i'd say; consider if you need windows for anything, if not, then go for ubuntu, it will make you much happier than windows can. (all based on my own opinion and experience ofc)
good luck
