Linux Pros

The Pros of Linux:

1. It is very easy to install and you don’t need to install it all straight away. If you just want to test the waters and see if you like it, you can boot Linux from a USB flash drive or CD and use it from there. It will boot just fine and you don’t need to make changes to your hard drive – win / win.
2. If you have a bit of developer in you and know what you are doing you change Linux to suit you. Unlike Windows (as it’s a tad illegal for Windows)
3. It’s free! You do not have to pay for it.
4. You can distribute your changes in Linux to help others.
5. It is known for being a more stable and secure system (The chances of getting a virus on Linux are notably lower than other OS).
6. It consumes very little resources and space unlike Windows. So you can virtually run a system on 500MB of drive and 300mb of ram. Pretty impressive.
7. It can be run with Windows or inside of Windows if you don’t want to jump ships completely.
8. It is a very smart and powerful system, you practically have power over whatever you want and configure almost everything.
9. There are alternatives for nearly any programme or it’s close cousin e.g. Photoshop, Microsoft Word there will be free versions.
10. There is community support for troubleshooting
