Even Diablo has a soft side
I switched to Windows 10 and apparently my windows key is not legit so I'm having lots of stability issues and can't go back to Win 7. I've been thinking about switching to Linux for quite a while. What would be the easiest way to make the switch? The only thing I'm worried about is my GPU has custom drivers because it's an unlocked/ flashed gpu. I have everything already backed up as well. Thanks for any advise in advance.

You can always download an Ubuntu DVD image and boot it to see if you like it without making any changes to your HD. You can do it off of a USB stick too if I remember right. You should be able to see how your GPU drivers work as well.

Awesome thanks a bunch!

Edit: I keep getting an error when trying to install ubuntu. It says "cannot download metalink therefore iso".

I gave that a read and did the USB disk thing. But when I go to boot it just sits there saying loading os. :(
