I have bought a Lenovo Laptop "G50-70 Intel Core i3 4010U" with pre-installed Windows 8.

I would like to install Linux but I can't find the software for my laptop here, which one is the most compatible with it.

  • It is not entirely clear what your problem is. I am assuming you are asking if Ubuntu can be installed on your laptop, not if there is Linux software to run on it. – Luís de Sousa Aug 04 '14 at 06:28

Chances are that if you download Ubuntu and install it on the laptop that it will run just fine. If you're unsure about dual booting it along with Windows, I would highly recommend installing it as a virtual machine. Oracle VirtualBox is free and easy to install. You can then create an Ubuntu virtual machine without worry about "breaking" your laptop or Windows.

  • Since very new computer you will need the newest 64 bit version of Ubuntu or one of its flavors (different desktops). Should be standard UEFI dual boot. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI AND: http://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/installing-ubuntu-on-a-pre-installed-uefi-supported-windows-8-system (Comment was not intended for answer but OP). – oldfred Aug 03 '14 at 17:49
