First of all, i don't want to be rude, but if you have to ask this question, creating an altcoin is not for you...

Same exact thought I had before I replied. I'd figure that wsxdrfv probably might just want to try to create coins for learning purposes so I pointed him/her to some sources. Hopefully that's his/her intentions are; and not make another new shitcoin as we already have too much of those.

I'd suggest reading up on bitcoin, reading the whitepaper, reading bitcoin's source, experiment with compiling easy binarys and work your way up to compiling bitcoin's sourcecode... After a long learning period, things should become pretty clear.

That being said: you can always hire somebody to create a clone coin, it's really not that hard if you have a basic idear about what you're doing... I succesfully cloned a couple of coins in the past to prove that it's really easy to do, so people should stop trusting altcoin developers and buy into those ico scams, cloning is easy, a lot of people can do it => don't throw away your money.

It is true that there are "better" coins to clone compared to bitcoin... Bitcoin is quite mature, and things like mining directly from your wallet, or even connecting an ASIC to your wallet without some kind of stratum proxy are allmost impossible, while there are less mature coins out there that still have this sourcecode available.

It depends on what you're intentions are with your coin. And no, I think coins these days don't fork from bitcoin anymore. Like I said, it depends on what you're intentions are.

You could pretty much fork any coin. Or you could use the Waves platform[1], or create an Ethereum ERC20 token[2].

Hi.

Should I firstly install Ubuntu to make altcoin?

Most alt coin seems starts from bitcoin source, but I failed to install and compile github's bitcoin source to my windows 10 laptop.

What is most efficient ways to make my own alt-coin?

Thanks.
