I tried out ubuntu about as long ago as you did, and for some reason I couldn't get the internet to work. But because this was before smartphones, I had to boot back into windows, look up a possible solution, write it down, boot back into ubuntu, try it, didn't work, rinse and repeat. After 2 hours I just gave up and went back to windows. It's probably way easier now, but I'm still hesitant to give it another try.
Huh? That's weird. Internet always worked for me, both over Ethernet and over WiFi. The only issue I had once (where it took me an extra hour or two) was with a school network that had extra protections, like a login. That one was tougher, especially when I then wanted to route a tunnel through it so I could play games in class.
But usually internet works flawlessly on any Linux distribution.
