Linux OS for a new user - Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.

Hello users,
This question may be offtopic here, but i need your kind suggestions. I am now going to reinstall an operating system in my computer.
I had Windows 10 earlier. Now I am thinking to use Linux. I have not used it before so I have a few doubts.
Will it be difficult to use and understand Linux?
Will Linux be faster than Winodows 10?
Thanks

Android SDK and Eclipse. That's about what you need.
You would probably need java knowledge too...
If you know any other programming language it should be really easy.
Try the guide here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/eclipse-adt.html
I'm lost with the installation part. (have some background with other prog lang. but none with java) can anyone help me with this part? what is the needed apps and/or how to start this apps?
What part are you having trouble with? What OS are you running? I never could get windows7 to work right with java and eclipse.
Oh. Maybe thats why. Coz. Im using win7

What is Coz? Cousin?
Anyway, I set up a linux virtual machine using VMWare's VMPlayer--a scaled down free version of VM's Workstation. This runs pretty well under Win7 on my laptop. I still use my main linux box for development when available.
I recommend you use Linux 9.10
And download Android SDK android for Linux.

[Q] Linux on the Iconia?

I apologize in advance if there already is a thread on this, but I couldn't find anything. Any way to possibly run Linux off of a USB stick or dual boot or anything? I saw the thread about natively running it but I was just curious as to whether or not there is a way to run both? (Android and Linux)
Yes, there's a thread on it, in the dev section.
This thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158260
Does it talk about Linux on USB? Or is it just referring to installing it instead of the android os?

[Q] Install Windows 7 on to HD2

Hi Guys,
I would some help in understanding the procedure of installing windows 7 onto HTC HD2 ,
Few questions :
1) Is it possible to install windows 7
2) If its possible can some one send the detailed steps and files to install this.
Thanks,
Fardeen
Not really, they had an emulated version I think like 95 and 98 but the drivers and resources needed make it not really usable.
If you mean Windows Phone 7 then yes. If you mean Windows 7 as in the PC OS then no.
I believe he is actually asking for WP7..... yes its possible..... use search button.
O yae guys u all rt. Yes i want to install the WP7.

First advice: have a 64-bit linux distro (i.e. Ubuntu).
If use don't dispose with a linux computer, any other advice is meaningless.
