The Windows family of operating system has dominated personal computers all over the world ever since its inception. Although other operating systems like Linux, Mac OS are used too but their user base seems tiny as compared to that of Windows.
Speaking of Linux, it’s still looked as an OS that only “geeks” use. It must be noted that Linux is a dominant OS when it comes to mainframe computers and servers. Most people avoid using Linux as they think it‘s too complicated (to be fair it’s somewhat true). But we are listing 5 reasons that can make people change their minds and try Linux.
Open – source and free
Before using Windows you need to legally purchase it. Whereas, Linux is completely free – you can download it and install in as many systems as you want. “Open source” means that you can make changes to the OS and distribute it.
Runs well even on old computers
Linux is a resource-efficient operating system that runs on old computers without any problems. If you have a PC with moderate hardware specs and you’re struggling with Windows on it, try Linux. You will be surprised to see the difference.
Ample of distributions available
Thanks to the wide community support and Linux’s open source, you can choose from a number of varied Linux distributions (called flavors or distros). Some of the popular flavors are Linux Mint and Ubuntu.
