What did you think of the Google course? I just took the Linux + Beta a couple weeks ago and I'm still waiting on the results.

I really don't have much experience other than I have a desktop running Ubuntu that I use periodically, and a Kali virtual machine I run on my laptop. My understanding is that to a Windows users, Ubuntu is easier to learn than other Linux flavors. More user friendly. A seasoned Linux administrator knows what they need from their OS and chooses a distribution based off their preferences. 

Hey Rene, have you found a solution to your slow internet speeds?

Maybe you could clone your windows OS with the licensed programs and run it as a VM on a Ubuntu? Not sure how easy that would be..
