Well I tried ubuntu about 5 years ago and used sudo and could browse web pages.
And I am still using it. I quit using Windows because I was being force to install virus protection software that slowed down my PC.
The botton line: I would rather use sudo (for secureity reason) and not install software that slows my PC down.
By the way, I needed to install drivers in Windows for my network card, and that is why I needed to sudo install driver for my network card in Linux.
With the later releases of Ubuntu you can do it through System>Administration>Addisional Driver. You can make all the excusess in the world, but Ubuntu is much better then Windows, and I have been using computer since the 70's and I draw my conclutions from using them for all that time.
