I bought my first computer when I started the journey of my B.Tech education. I didn’t know anything about linux and also much more about operating systems. I bought Dell vostro 15 which is a very low-end pc for me. And windows 10 is not good for intel i3 5th gen. It's very slow and takes a lot of time to update. Update package is very high in data. I have to give all of my internet data plan to Windows 10 for update. But I see the computers in my college, lot of computers have Linux based os ubuntu and it was very simple to use. Then I started to collect the information about Linux based operating systems and decided to install Linux on my laptop.
I download Linux based os Ubuntu 18.0 LTS which is completely Free and Open-Source and then installed besides Windows 10. I experienced a lot of features on Ubuntu and don’t need to install any kind of antivirus because it is hard to get viruses on linux.
But linux is not simple to use until you don't know about coding and basic programming. Because in linux we have to use code on terminal to get any new software or feature. But it is best for computer science students.

Not profitable to target Linux because of the small user base??? "96.3% of the top 1 Million Servers on the Internet run on Linux"... Seems veeeeeeery profitable to me... Also, most IoT Devices run Linux, all Supercomputers I know of run Linux, all Android devices are using an (outdated) Linux Kernel, ... I'd say that while the market share for linux on the desktop is pretty slim, that linux is more widely used than any other OS in practically all other markets.
Hackers use Linux to destroy Windows...
Really arguments are getting weirder and weirder every os has it fair share of issues and windows is safe to some extent only as for Linux only some of the distribution are security focused not all of them still they are secure to some extent as well and as for compatibility issues some programming language runs better in Linux ex:python and some of them are Not some of them works well in windows so stop complaining about it. Just use what works well for you. If windows works for you use windows or use Mac okay if didn't works use Linux anyways it's free.if you like one or more systems just use it in dual boot or something so there is a shit ton of options so
"don’t need to install any kind of antivirus because it is hard to get viruses on linux"
Ahh, the overconfidence of youth...
I'll add that to my collection of quotes from other people who doomed themselves to learning things the hard way.
"I don't have to update my system regularly because I have a firewall."
"I don't need two-factor authentication - my normal password is safe enough."
"Nobody else uses my PC, so it's okay to use autofill for all my credentials."
"Once a month is often enough for my backups."
"I'll commit that tomorrow morning."
"Nobody will ever hit my IP. I'm behind NAT."
"Nobody will ever know this URL."
was due to those magnific package managers that my desktop environment got fucked up on my work laptop, so yeah "freedom"
There is no need to argue about Windows and Linux security since who needs security if you openly allow any apps out there get your personal data (Google, Facebook, Instagram etc.). The OS is a preferrence. I myself have a Lenovo X230 running Ubuntu 20.04 and it's great for me because I prefer it that way. I have used MacOS & Win10 but I choose Ubuntu as my daily OS. #respect
For more security linux based operation system I will prefer centos.
So how do you manage to work on your graphics editing & gaming work.
Wait what is going on there? I read someone said 1.4 gb of update on linux after a month... And use arch ubuntu is jast a s#it Os lot of bloat. Use arch and see daily updates of hardy 50mb and monthly update of probably 600mb and dont add the apps that get updated along with it in calculation as windows apps update seperately
"windows 10 is not good for intel i3 5th gen. It's slow" most likely hardware problem. I own a tablet that is powered by atom x5 CPU (probably the bottom end of modern x86 CPUs) and it runs fine
"Updates takes a lot of data!" Well I'm not a mind reader but I can tell that you're someone who never ran the "apt-get update" command before..better get used to it because you'll need to run that before installing any app to avoid dependency and incompatibility problems.. in Windows u could just use Use metered connection.
"it is hard to get viruses on linux!" Because no one uses it at least not as many as Windows..when it becomes popular you'll see more and more destructive malwares because Linux allows apps to run in kernel mode which can cause disasters if used maliciously and can even result in damaged hardware.
"Linux need basic programming knowledge!" bro I've been a C# programmer since 3 years and I still struggle with Linux's terminal..using a CLI to do simple tasks such as installing an app is outdated and backwards in 2020
You said that using a CLI for Installing apps is backwards and outdated but you should know that it is faster than using GUI . " And time is the most precious thing " . And on your point of havoc difficulty with using Linux terminal is totally your fault as I am a python and android programmer since 7 months and Linux from 2 months and I know almost 90% of Linux commands and I am dependent on the Linux terminal for almost half of the tasks and I am even 12 years old . And top of everything else it gives all of Linux for free and windows takes money windows runs for profit and Linux runs generously .
You dont know 90% of linux commands. Ive been using it for 15 years and i dont know them either. Your age hs little to do with your tasks. Not all linux distros are free and win10 is 99% free, just for the record.
Nice to see very young people learbing programming and linux but dont be that cocky dude, i made my first program on basic 1.0 when i was 7 or 8 yo and I dont go around forums saying how good or bad i am.
