Ideas for a Vietnamese Ubuntu install guide
In preparation for 20.04 LTS.
A guide to set up a dual boot Windows-Ubuntu system for laypeople.
Inital structure:
# Why switch?
## Free, as in both freedom and free beer
## A new computing experience
## Vibrant programming ecosystem
## Moar performance
# What you'll need
# Word of warning
- You may screw up your system. Expect that.
- Backup first before doing any of this.
- Even if you accidentally delete Windows, the process for re-installing Windows is almost exactly the process we're gonna go over.
- Also don't worry about losing your Windows key. If you're using Windows 10 with a Microsoft account, your key is embedded into your account so you always use the official Windows 10 version.
- Battery is most likely worse than Windows though there is a simple solution available (tlp)
