Windows 7 to Ubuntu 12.04 Resources

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 642 / 2 Years ago, mon, november 22, 2021, 1:30:44

I am planing to switch operating systems (I'm currently using Windows 7 x64) from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

My main reason why I am switching to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is to try my luck with it. Currently Windows 7 really consumes a lot of CPU and RAM. If we're going to look at it who consumes less CPU and RAM, is it Windows 7 or Ubuntu 12.04?

Additional Info.

Both OS are running on the same hardware Specifications

AMD A6 APU Dual Core with 2.7GHZ

8 GB of ram

Windows 7 requires a minimum of 1000 Mhz processor with 1GB of RAM, while Ubuntu requires a minimum of 700 Mhz processor with 384MB RAM. While these are the official requirements, in practice, the requirements are considerably higher. From my experience, If you install both the operating systems on identical hardware, Ubuntu’s performance is significantly higher than that of Windows 7.
In fact, if you were to pull out a 7 year old computer from a junkyard, Ubuntu will work flawlessly.
Moreover, the boot time of Ubuntu is considerably less than its Windows 7 counterpart.
