Some people does not know Linux

And imo its the best way faster more stable doesn't crash or give me dam viruses.
The only thing it lacks is games , But there is an easy fix running a VM under linux but then the performance isnt the best.; ▶ Reply to This

I usually never use windows but sometimes I do to game. Ubuntu Linux doesn't really require any real knowledge about Linux so and with WINE or Cedalga you can run anything with windows.; ▶ Reply to This

Also, just try linux now. If you can download it many forms of linux offer the option to run off of the CD. Ubutnu, and Knoppix are the two I've done this with. Take it for a spin.

From there you can decide what you like, and whether or not you would want to give up or dual-boot a windows system.

For me personally, I have no reason to use a Linux system of a Windows system. It's nice, but it's no big deal if I don't do it.; ▶ Reply to This

I suggest you either dual boot a Linux Distro of your choice with windows or Use a Linux Distro in Vbox.

Just plain saying is one better then the other would be a lie. As all OSES have good sides and bad sides/; ▶ Reply to This

Take care.

Take care.
