Someday, I'll get together a backup PC and play with Linux.

so far, no major problems with Ati cards, except manual installation of drivers. but since there's a tutorial for that, didn't have any problems with doing so.
i know about radeon problems with Linux, but since this is a laptop and it came with ati card, for now i don't have any way of switching to nvidia ;)

I was on 13.10 and when upgrading to 14.04, it failed badly. I was lazy and fresh-installed 14.04 again (using WUBI just like 13.10) and right after installation completed and rebooted, "Serious errors were found while checking the disk drive /."
I give up. Wait for my new laptop.

You can just replace it by anything you like... kinda of one the points of using linux is to be able to do whatever you want with it no ? I'm a lover of openbox+tint2 since crunchbang.

Is there any performance difference playing on Linux / Windows?

You can check the website winehq wich has a list of all the games tested on linux, with possible needed workarounds ( such as installing a dll ), a lot of games will work but a loss in fps is possible. Some games won't work at all ( arma 3 for example ).

I've been using Fedora recently.
But yeah, Ubuntu is really good too. :)

Some day I'll finally install linux in a back up PC and see what all the big ruckus is about . Currently my only experience with linux is on my the university lab computers where I use it to initiate my simulation request in the HPC grid. ( And its not a good experience, maybe because how frustrating simulation tends to be often. )

I upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04 with no particular problems. Come to think of it though, there should have been no problems whatsoever, so -1 there. A welcome change is the move of the window controls from the top of the screen to the top window border, but it's a stupid move to hardcode them to the left, forcing everyone who hates that to drop Unity altogether.

Same here, nothing special. My wireshark icon has changed.

I don't like Ubuntu but that's just my opinion. Im on openSUSE 13.1
I use over 14 Year SuSE/openSUSE. And yes openSUE also had its problems, especially after Novell bought up SuSE.
But it's a great German Distribution for beginners and experts suitable.

Mood music
Was on Ubuntu 12.04 before
Feels good. Only need to configure in my settings now. Will have some work in the evening.
Overall, it feels much better, faster. Bit different configs, but nothing unmanagable. Haven't tried gaming yet tho. ATI drivers installed much better than on previous ubuntu, but had to do manually. ubuntu default drivers failed :(
No trade susension as well, most likely because i synced everything in chrome from previous ubuntu.
For now I'm happy with choice to get newest ubuntu. Didn't upgrade previous, installed this one on another partiotion. I'm not good with backups and didn't want to lose working OS.
