Is there such a thing as an ubuntu demo video or a "Take a tour" video to view prior to installing ubuntu? I am seriously considering replacing Windows 8.1 with ubuntu but I'd like to see it in action prior to making the switch.

You can most certainly search YouTube for videos on Ubuntu, but there's something better:

Live DVD

Every Ubuntu install disk has a 'Try Ubuntu' option. Click that to try Ubuntu without installing anything or touching your data. It's the best way to get hands-on test drives in Ubuntu.

You may use Ubuntu online tour. It allows you to try some basic things like file browsing, web surfing, creating documents right from your browser.

See Official Ubuntu tour here: http://tour.ubuntu.com/en/

  • I took the tour and it was helpful. I also set up a usb drive to run the live version for a start. Next step to install ubuntu desktop AMD64 on a partition drive for dual boot purposes. – user490982 Jan 11 '16 at 03:01
