Windows to Linux

Name: Anonymous 2008-03-16 21:41

I'm thinking about switching to Linux. Specifically Ubuntu or Fedora. Anyone want to tell me why or why I shouldn't? Currently using Vista Home and I like it but I just want to see what else is out there. Plus if its more secure, thats always a plus.

Not for games.
You also can't play PS3 games on your Windows box. I'm not sure what you think your point is.

Not when updating stuff. Stuff might break when updating.
Not actually true. Ubanto goes out of its way to make sure dependencies are kosher.
Not to mention that the fact such a thing as the update manager exists makes it tons more userfriendly than Windows, where everything has to be updated manually, except the OS itself (unless WGA refuses to recognise you, of course; and it can't update from, say, XP to Vista on its own, whereas the Ubanto update manager does give you the option to upgrade between major versions).

Windows is still more userfriendly.
Why? Because paying $200 for your OS (actually, just for a license, which isn't even the same thing) just makes you feel better?
Most Linux distros matched Windows for userfriendliness some time in the late '90s. Ubanto and quite a few others have surpassed it years ago. By a lot.
