Actually, I might use it as a full OS. Obviously it won't replace Windows, but I might be using it just as much, as nearly every single game I have works fine on Ubuntu.

Why switch over in the first place? What are you gaining by switching?

Well first off, he's not saying he's going to switch. Just try it out. And the experience gained from using a Linux based OS could be useful in the future. Probably not, but it still might be.
But yeah, Ubuntu is cool. Dual Booting might not be the best option at first, but whatever. It only takes 4 GB of space (atleast I think so).

Typing this on Ubuntu now, really really like it. One issue however, I am on the try Ubuntu thing. You see, the installer for Ubuntu seems to be getting stuck at "Saving installed packages) when I try to install.

Not gaining anything really, I just really liked it after doing some research on it. While actually using Ubuntu, I like it just as much as I expected to.

VMs are far far better for playing/researching an Operating System.
Snapshots are Friendship.
Screw something up, no problem, just undo it. Makes life so much better.
Alright, after trying Ubuntu, I am back on Windows. I noticed that my flash drive has turned into "Install Ubuntu". I also notice that my main drive lost a bit of space as well.
And also, I'm not going to use a VM. I like Ubuntu enough to consider it as a main OS.

I'm assuming you used the drive to install Ubuntu. That's why. You've also partitioned your hard drive. Whatever space you took from the Windows partition is now only accessible by the Ubuntu install.

Highly likely Swap Space partition.
Checking on Disk Management console in windows will likely show that.
How exactly do I do this, how much space does it take up (Limited on SSD space).
Not completely sure why I want to install it, but I want to try it out. I never got to use it, and I want to experiment with it is all.

Mint is Ubuntu. Mint is more convenient.
Hey everyone, I'm back!
