I'm thinking about switching from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 16.04.

just make a partition for it so you can have both. 16.04 LTS should come with most stuff you'll need already

That it is an entirely different ecosystem. Have an open mind and explore the possibilities.

The most common pitfall of trying Linux is trying to use it like windows.

You don't. If you want performance go with the proprietary one

Chipset, LAN, SATA drivers

But I use only proprietary drivers on my Linux system anon.

>>58680727
so, how do you optimize the code of your proprietary drivers ?

If you dont know how to already you wont know how to. Nvidia offers a tinkering tool so there is that. But code wise its not a good idea i'm pretty sure you will break xorg
