There has been an argument going on for years, that so many people don't know or know little about, it's between the Linux OS and Windows OS, so first of all what is Linux, Linux is a free and open source operating developed and released in 1991 by Linus Torvalds,
Linux has a reputation as a very efficient and fast-performing system, I'm sure some of you have heard of Ubuntu, Ubuntu is just one of the numerous Linux distributions out there(Operating systems built on the Linux kernel that was first developed in 1991), in fact there are over 200 Linux distributions out there. So whats all the fuzz about Linux after all your current windows computer does all you want for you now, but it's a known fact that human beings fear and criticize what they don't know about but i'm about to show you some reasons why you should dump your old legacy windows OS for Linux, Linux is everywhere even if you don't know it you might be running Linux without knowing it, even The popular Mobile operating system Android is built on the Linux kernel others include the Sony Bravia TV, and the amazon kindle fire tablet, These are the 10 reasons why i believe Linux is better than windows
1. Linux is Free
Linux is Free, yes you heard it!, everything about Linux from the kernel to the apps installed on it are all open source and free and you don't so you don't need to bother about paying money for apps or looking for cracks and patches for programs that can make your computer unstable and vulnerable to virus attacks compared to an Original windows 7 which costs about 100$.
2. Linux is More Secure
In this modern day, when everyone is so worried about computer security and how to protect themselves against Viruses, Malware and Spyware, Linux does a great job at securing your Computer you don't need to install any Antivirus software to get this protection Linux is inherently more secure than Windows, because security is a feature of the core system, With a firewall at the heart of the kernel and the virtual impossibility of slipping malware into the software repositories, a Linux computer can devote all its resources to running your programs, rather than being bogged down with security programs running all the time on your windows Computer.
3. Software repositories
I mentioned Software repositories above, Typically a windows user does a google search to find a software he is looking for, this behavior can easily be exploited to harm the unsuspecting user. This is not the case in Linux because it has all the software you need in one place and saves you time having to crawl the web to find the program you're missing. It also means the software has been independently checked and digitally signed by the distribution's developers, making it almost impossible to pick up a root-kitted version that can easily be served you to by a malicious third-party without your knowledge, This also means that there are no back doors in Linux software to monitor and steal personal Information from you without your knowledge, an example is the Ubuntu Software center where you can search for numerous apps and install directly, Linux also comes with a lot of pre-installed apps and common utilities to get you started, Unlike a new Windows Installation which is empty
4. Drivers
This is a feature i Love very much about Linux, The Driver support is excellent, after installing you don't need to install or look for extra drivers to make your system function, everything works fine out of the box, from sound to mouse to graphics Unlike Windows where getting drivers is a real pain, you could also download and install wrong or root-kitted drivers which could compromise your computer.
5. Linux is portable
The size of My First Linux (Kubuntu) was so small that i was scared i didn't download it properly it was about 900mb can you believe that a full fledged Computer Operating system with pre-installed apps like Firefox, archiving program(Like WinRAR) can be that small Unlike windows which is
