Thread: Linux or Windows Operating System

I am new in Linux world. I am interested in know about the pros and cons with choosing a Linux OS over a Windows OS? If you are having any information then please reply me.

• Linux can be available for free. Windows must be paid for.

• Linux is generally considered to be safer than Windows. Most viruses attack Windows OS.

• There are lots of versions of Linux to choose from; permitting you to pick which one best meets your requirements.

• An "out-of-the-box" installation of Windows usually supports a wider range of hardware than an "out-of-the-box" installation of Linux..

• The "Linux vs. Windows" argument is quite subjective and does not lend itself to an easy objective analysis, because each computer user has different requirements and expectations. Linux is often a perfect choice for one user, but a miserable choice for another. The same is true of Windows.
