True, I had copied and pasted the description there as I felt it explained things better than I could. I didn't really take note of the mention of it being the newest version.

16.04 isn't "the newest version of the popular Linux software", 17.04 is the latest. I would guess they're probably pretty similar though.

Once you start using it, you will find how much better it is from Windows. Ubuntu and Mint are best OS now
