What is the advantage

[dirtydog]

I am a little confused. I have heard of Linux and have friends who swear by it but I don't know what the difference is between Linux and Windows. Also when I tried to do research (or ask friends) there are so many different types of Linux that it just confuses me more. How do you know which to use? Can you put it on your computer without taking Windows off, just in case I were to do it and not be happy.

I think the biggest advantage of Linux is that it's free. The second great advantage is that it is less targeted by viruses as hackers are more interested in attacking Windows. I used to have Linux on my first Asus laptop and I enjoyed the basic simplicity of it. But it was for me its limit : it was too simple and didn't offer all the possibilities Windows would offer
