Really cheesed with Microsoft so decided to give Linux a try. Installed Ubuntu on a old computer I have upstairs so I could give it a serious looking at, and everything is working great.
What has me confused is that I have not had to install any drivers, mainboard, graphics card, and all other bits are working OK, and with all their facilities. Is this normal? When you install a windows operating system you have to install all sorts of drivers to get the mainboard, USB, sound, and all your other bits working properly.
I know Linux comes with quite a lot of drivers within, but would be grateful if someone can tell me if this is normal. Not having to put any extra drivers on.
