Microsoft uses malware tactics to foist Windows 10 on more PCs

I hear that linux run flawlessly now, and got massively downvoted when I claimed that this wasn't my experience a couple of months ago. I since decided to try it again. I purchased a lenovo T460p, and I picked that model specifically because it was on ubuntu's list of certified devices.

When the laptop switches on, it makes a horrible sound which reminds me of my 8bit audio days. And impossible to connect an external monitor, while the same laptop on windows could drive a 4K monitor. And couldn't find any useful fix on google.

I am sorry but linux desktop is far far from being ready for primetime.

That model comes with Ubuntu pre-installed and it does run flawlessly. I've seen people run ubuntu on it my self. So perhaps there was some other problems.

I can't find a single bad review except yours.

On lenovo's website I could only find a windows version (on the US or UK websites). And the support page has no drivers for linux. All I can do it to install the default Ubuntu OS image. And the graphic card isn't like an exotic custom graphic card, it's Intel Integrated Graphics...
