I LOVE LINUX!!
Ok so I yap but the main reasons I love linux are it's
- free
- open-source
- more privacy focused
- faster than windows bc its
- more customizable
- there is a distro for everyone
- no ads
There are plenty of different distros (which are just a different version of linux (it's actually GNU/Linux)) for your own needs. If you just want to have a simple out of the box expereince you can use Ubunutu or Linux Mint or you could use my favorite one OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (but from my expereince its defenitely not good for beginners). I like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed becuase its a rolling release meaning I never have to upgrade (or downgrade in Windows case) to the next version because it's always just updating! But its also very stable unlike other rolling release distros; It broke one time but thanks to snapper, you can just rollback to the last time you updated and I waited for the update to be fixed.
Unlike windows you have complete control of your system and I really appreciate that- Its not constantly asking you to sign into a micheal soft account, it dosen't force you to update, and this is un related but there aren't ads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are a few drawbacks which are that games that need incredibly invasive, kernal-level (meaning it can view everything that goes on in your computer) anti-cheat like Apex Legends can't run because of linux's user arcetecture (view in-depth yap about how windows games run on linux and kernal-level anti-cheat here). In my opinion though, kernal-level anticheat is terribl for you privacy and security. Its terrible for your security because its equalivent to just leaving you front door open for an intruder to just walk in, and I'm pretty sure you can see how letting someone see litteraly everything you do on your computer is a bit creepy. Another drawback is that some apps don't work on linux like Adobe products and um probally some other stuff but thats about it kinda lmao. The final reason is that stuff may sometimes break, as does in windows, this is very rare though esspecially on begginer friendly distros like linux mint (I've had linux mint on my macbook for ~2 years and it hasn't broken once!), and even if it does there is a huge community willing to help every step of the way.
So erm uh yeah use linux plz
