I am still trying to wean myself completely off of Windows and it should be coming soon. I'm a firm believer in open-source and Linux has so much to offer--especially for developing countries and small organizations/businesses that can't afford heavy hitting costs of computer software.
Came across a website that talked about the various PC vs. Mac commercial and wondered why Linux was never mentioned. Well, maybe they're worried about that underdog creeping up quick. For the technophiles, you might be using Linux systems in all sorts of small electronics. It takes a bit of getting used to--but there are so many sweet things about it and the help forums are packed full of helpful people.
Here's some great reasons why you should check out Linux:
- FREE-->Nearly everything about it is LEGALLY FREE
- OPTIONS-->Lots of cool options for nearly everything! (that's what happens when you unleash a world of interested geeks with access to everything internal)
- BETTER UPDATES-->Many Linux varieties update the WHOLE computer software--not just the OS, but programs too
- MORE OPTIONS-->Many Linux varieties offer a nice way to just find, download, and install/uninstall all sorts of programs with just a few clicks--again LEGALLY FREE.
- SECURITY-->You're not immune to most computer ailments like viruses, but most are not written for Linux (yet) and so the just became a much safer place. So you won't be paying nosebleed rates for software that bogs down your computer or sneaking around with illegal versions of that same software hoping someone didn't put a virus into that.
- EVEN MORE OPTIONS, Personalize it!-->Linux has SO MANY flavors (called distrobutions or distros for short) and they can fit almost any interest. Many new to Linux (like me) will find themselves comfortable in a similar to Windows environment.
- RESURECTIONS-->Got an old PC lying around and sad that it barely runs? Maybe the physical stuff is still good. Try to put certain versions of Linux (like Puppy Linux) in it and watch it become reborn with a whole new speed and vigor you didn't think possible.
- CUTENESS-->With a cute penguin as the mascot, how can you go wrong? ^_^
Thought I'd embed a few of the possible future commercials you might find coming soon:
(I liked them. The first is cute.)

Stay well and happy
