Hi, I have been duel booting for months. I love Ubuntu. I use Ubuntu 90% of the time. I am a CSGO player so I still need WIndows. Anyway, when 14.04 comes out, is there anything I need to know?

I had to use Both Boot_Repair(To get GRUB to work on my preinstalled WIndows 8 machine with UEFFI) and I also use GRUBCustomizer to clean up Grub after hacking my way through The walls of UEFFI.

I have heard how these things can make upgrading painful. WIll I need to uninstall and reinstall Ubuntu.(I know how to do that as I Reinstall Ubuntu every month to keep everything clean since I keep a light setup.)


Thanks,
younggeek1

I would recommend the fresh install method. I hear of too many problems with upgrades, so I've always done full installs

You'll have to wait for the release notes. Upgades usually work well. The only reason we see "many" unsuccessful ones is because that's what people tend to report.
