USERS OF PIRATED MICROSOFT WINDOWS, read this! 
I’ve used Microsoft Windows as my primary operating system for around eight long years. But last year, I tried Linux. I was so amazed of my experience that I made the switch. I left Windows which was worth big bucks for a free and open source piece of software and never had any regret.
Here are some of the good reasons why switch to Linux!
- We don’t have any virus in the wild, yet. There could be in the future but to date, there is no Linux virus in the wild. In Windows, despite religiously checking removable devices for viruses and making sure the antivirus is turned on, odds are you’ll still get a virus. And once it’s there, there’s no turning back. Your antivirus may delete the infected or infectious file but the damage it made may remain unreversed. You know how tiring it is to reformat a hard disk over and over again just to maintain a clean system!
- There are Linux counterparts of most Windows programs. But if you really can’t find one, you can use Wine (Windows emulator) to run most of your Windows programs.
- It’s far more stable than Windows. Most web servers run on Linux. It’s because Linux is far more stable than Windows server (aside from the cost factor).
- Free support! Windows gives you a perception of support, but with Linux you get real support. For example, you choose Ubuntu – there’s the very reliable Ubuntu Forums. Once you’ve got a problem, chances are another person have asked that problem too. If not, you may ask it and receive answers in a matter of minutes to days.
- It’s ready for the typical desktop user. For the past decade, Linux had a reputation that it’s a “for-geek-only” OS. It’s not true anymore, promise!
- No need to commit another crime! This is applicable especially for those who use pirated copies of Windows. Since most Linux distributions are free, you don’t have to commit another crime!
- There’s Compiz Desktop Effects. You can apply desktop effects to your machine such as Desktop Cube, 3D Windows, Rain, Fire and other astonishing effects even with normal hardware. Also, they don’t eat that much RAM! Below (and one at the top) are some screenshots I took on my screen. I use Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) on my laptop.
‘Nuff of those screenshots. But if you use a critical built-for-Windows program (such as the ones used in nuclear reactors or air traffic controllers), then it’s not advisable to switch to Linux and run it using Wine. You might end up blowing up cities or airplanes.

I’ve been an Ubuntu user since November of 2008. Definitely NO regrets from switching between Windows Vista to Ubuntu Linux.
There are minor setbacks, though. But, I am purely satisfied with Ubuntu.

The only things that hold me back from completely switching to Linux are Photoshop and Lightroom.

Linux user din ako, Ubuntu gamit ko.
Then nung nabalitaan kong may Windows 7, testingin ku lng.
pero babalik pa rin ako sa linux syempre.
Sige try ko rin po ito kapag nagkaroon ng pagkakataon, hehe… Rare or totally wala nga daw po experienced virus sa linux.

nawala ko ung usb huhuuhu…. anyway kahit 1 gb magwork yan…
Oo nga, ang saya ng Ubuntu!
Lalo na kung supported by default ang hardware, wala na kailangan iinstal na packages.
Sinubukan ko ang Ubuntu sa laptop ko. But I’m still not used to it. I love the fact that linux doesn’t really need anti virus.
Still, I’m using Windows 7 as my main OS (orig copy
). And Ubuntu as a secondary OS for some necessary purposes.
