Home > Linux > Why Linux ???
The DistroWatch.com banner states "Put the fun back into computing. Use Linux, BSD". I initially thought it was a little bit ambitious or even pretentious. In the past years I installed and tested numerous distributions and versions. After a few time I stopped to use each of them for several reasons (daily use difficulties, install of apps...). But things have changed ! So after years and years of Microsoft Windows use I finally decided to migrate definitely to Linux. Why ? Here is the answer :
|
|
| Forget the poor DOS ability, Unix/Linux shell is amazing !!! It is even sometimes more pleasant to work from command line ! |
|
|
|
|
|
Access control is strong and Virus are (almost) unknown ! Any discovered security hole is rapidly known and fixed shortly by community without bad will/negociation from an OS vendor... Browse finally the web without fear to grab evil stuff. I use Linux intensively from years now and I've *never* faced any security/malware/virus problem ! |
|
|
|
|
| Protect your eyes against the hanging, ominous and frustrating blue screens from Micro$oft ! :o) System crashes are quite rare... |
|
|
|
|
| It exists dozens of distributions for any purpose : workstation, server, multimedia studio, graphic, office etc... There is surely one that suits your needs ! |
|
|
|
|
|
Thousands of applications exist and most of the time they are free ! Depending the packages manager used you can even update *all* installed applications with a fews clicks ! Can you do this on Windows ? I don't think so ! Of course System updates are also included... |
|
|
|
|
|
Don't be leashed to obscure and financially interested decisions of an OS vendor. Choose and do what you want freely ! |
|
|
|
|
| Share the knowledge, Share the resources. Be a member of large and friendly community ! You will rarely be alone on a problem... |
|
|
|
|
|
The last but not the least : most of the Linux distributions costs *nothing*, or at worst, a few tens of dollars/euros. Even in this case that's still largely cheaper than any proprietary OS ! That's a pretty good point no ? :o) |
