That's astounding, because Dell provides instructions for installing Ubuntu on this very machine. https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/fr/fr/frbsdt1/inspiron-3668-desktop/inspiron3668_setupandspecs/set-up-your-computer?guid=guid-47dddb93-f245-4113-bec4-98988598ae47&lang=en-us Quote: 6.Finish operating system setup.For Ubuntu: Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup. For more information about installing and configuring Ubuntu, see the knowledge base articles SLN151664 and SLN151748 at www.dell.com/support.
