I'm serious. I use Linux for 3-4 years already and I have a big question, why the f world started using Windows many years ago. That's really interesting. Linux has more advantages than Windows.
1 Linux asks you everything if that is necessary. It doesn't updating whiteout your agreement and permissions.
2 Linux gives you the ability to do whatever you want to your computer, with hardware. Windows can't give you one. Maybe only with kernel permissions but Idk how to get one. Maybe wrong here
3 The only thing I need to install on Linux to make it work fine is the video card driver and that's all.
4 It's free and almost all soft free too (gimp, libreoffice, so on). Maybe if Linux would be used worldwide then more programs are paid. Maybe
5 No pre-installed anti-malware services. Even if it would be pre-installed then I'm sure for 100% that I can stop one and delete in 2 clicks.
6 Linux is faster. It's a fact.
7 Problems. If You have problems in Linux then just be root or ctrl-alt-f2. That stuff can solve every problem on Linux if it's not about Grub or something like that. Windows is f***ed about that. Sometimes you need to install something to solve. Sometimes you need to edit the registry to solve. Sometimes safemode to solve.
8 You can customize Linux however you want. Windows is limited about that.
9 Privacy. Linux doesn't collect your data, it's open-source and I think people would already know if Linux does one. Windows already directly tells you that it collects your data.
I know Linux is younger than Windows but it's Unix-like OS, but Unix is older than Windows. Means people were using Unix for some time and at some point started using Windows instead of continuing using Unix and then Unix + Unix-Like. Why? That's the point I've told you above. I just wanna know your opinion on what happened when Windows was released. Why people refused to use Unix and Unix-like systems. Is it hard? Or maybe need to learn some shell commands to solve problems?
