Why Linux?
Most people reading the Linux Basics tutorial will probably be using Windows 95/98/NT/XP/etc. If you are such a reader and just use your computer for basic word processing and spreadsheets I would recommend that you stick with Windows; for all its faults Windows is anything but difficult to utilize, genuinely brisk to learn and has some incredible programming.To give you a satisfactory answer of this question(Why You should use Linux and Dump Windows), first I would like to tell you what is Linux (also referred to as GNU/Linux):
Linux is a finished working framework that is comparative yet not indistinguishable from UNIX. It keeps running on a wide assortment of equipment, going from 386's/486's/Pentiums/Pentium II's to progressively intriguing equipment, for example, Digital Alpha PCs, PowerPCs, and Silicon Graphics workstations.

Here are 10 reasons why Linux could be the best working framework for you:
� A Linux Distribution has a large number of dollars worth of programming for no expense (or several dollars whenever acquired on CD)� Linux is a complete operating system that is:
� Stable - the accident of an application is considerably less liable to cut down the working framework under Linux
� Dependable - Linux servers are frequently up for many days contrasted and the customary reboots required with a Windows framework.
� extremely powerful
� Accompanies a total advancement condition, including C, C++, Fortran compilers, toolbox, for example, Qt and scripting dialects, for example, Perl, Awk, and sed. A-C compiler for Windows alone would hamper you several dollars.
� Amazing systems administration offices: enabling you to share CPUs, share modems, and so forth; which are all excluded or accessible with Windows 95.
� The perfect condition to run servers, for example, a web server (for example Apache), or an FTP server.
� A wide variety of commercial software is available if your needs aren't satisfied with the free software.
� An operating system that is easily upgradeable. After any time allotment, a normal establishment of Windows and programming gets into total wreckage. Regularly the best way to get out all the flotsam and jetsam is to reformat the hard plate and start once more. Linux, in any case, is greatly improved for keeping up the framework.
� Supports multiple processors as standard.
� True multi-tasking; the ability to run more than one program at the same time.
� A magnificent window framework called X; the likeness Windows yet significantly more adaptable. Obviously, there are numerous different motivations to utilize Linux, for example, the full source code is given and can be adjusted yet 'standard' application clients will far-fetched need the source code.

If these reasons are not enough and you are not satisfied why you should use Linux then I'll tell you more reasons:
1. Forget about viruses. Linux hardly has any viruses. What's more, that dislike "Goodness well, not all the time, you know". c Obviously, a Linux infection isn't difficult to get.
2. Is your system unstable? Of course, no operating system is perfect, and people who tell you that theirs can never ever crash are lying. In any case, some working frameworks can be steady to the point that most clients never observe their frameworks crash, even following quite a while. This is true for Linux. Here's a good way to see this. When a system crashes, it needs to be shut down or restarted. Along these lines, if your PC can keep awake and running for quite a while, regardless of the amount you use it, at that point you can say the framework is steady.
All things considered, Linux can keep running for quite a long time without waiting to be restarted (most web servers run Linux, and they normally never restart). Obviously, with overwhelming updates, regardless it should be restarted (the best possible way). In any case, in the event that you introduce Linux, and afterward utilize your framework as much as you need, leaving your PC on constantly, you can go on like that for years without having any trouble.

3. Linux protects your computer.
Infections, trojans, adware, spyware... Windows lets all these enter your PC pretty effectively. The normal timeframe before a Windows PC (associated with the Internet and with a default "Administration Pack 2" establishment) gets contaminated is 40 minutes (and it now and then takes as little time as 30 seconds).
4. Don't pay 7000 for your operating system.
You're most likely saying to yourself: "Magnanimous, I didn't pay for Windows".Are you certain beyond a shadow of a doubt? In the event that your PC accompanied a duplicate of Windows, at that point you paid for it, regardless of whether the store didn't educate you concerning that. Then again, you can get Linux totally for nothing out of pocket. Truth is stranger than fiction, all these folks all around the globe buckled down to make a perfect, secure, productive, gorgeous framework, and they are giving their work away for everyone to use freely
5. Freedom!
Linux and "Open Source" software are "free". This implies their permit is a "free permit", and the most well-known is the GPL (General Public License). This permit expresses that anybody is permitted to duplicate the product, see the source code (the "formula"), change it, and redistribute it as long as it stays authorized with the GPL.
6. When the system was installed, why would you still need to install stuff? With Linux, you get (almost) all your software when you finish installing Linux on your system. Office & Productivity packages, Media Players, PIM, Web Browser, email client, Web server, database server are few to name.
7. Update all your product with a solitary snap.
Linux has a focal spot called the "Bundle Administrator", which deals with everything introduced on your framework, yet additionally each and every bit of programming your PC has. So on the off chance that you need to stay up with the latest, the main thing you have to do is press the "Introduce Updates" catch down there.
8. Why duplicate programming illicitly in the event that you can get it for nothing?
If you run Linux and install free software, you won't have to worry about using pirated software ever again! Most of the free (as in free speech) software is free (as in free beer). You can locate a free trade for the majority of the business programming out there. They may do not have a portion of the propelled usefulness, however, they'll be all that could possibly be needed for a great many people.
9. Jump into the next generation of desktops.
You have been dazzled by the 3D and straightforwardness conceivable outcomes first presented in Quite a while Vista, and chose that these exceptional capacities merited a couple of hundred dollars? You even purchased another PC so you could meet Vista's (high) prerequisites? Tricked you: Linux can improve, for nothing, and with substantially less requesting equipment necessities.
10. Choose what your desktop looks like.
11. Why does your Windows get slower day after day?
Windows has various plan imperfections, bringing about it ending up increasingly slow and not enduring long. You've probably heard more than once someone says "My computer is getting sluggish, I'm gonna reinstall". Reinstalling Windows solves the problem... until next time.
12. Enjoy free and unlimited support.
One of the incredible resources of the Open Source people group (and Linux specifically), is that it's a genuine network. Clients and designers truly are out there, on web discussions, on mailing records, on IRC channels, assisting new clients. They're all glad to see an ever-increasing number of individuals change to Linux, and they're glad to enable them to take a few to get back some composure on their new framework.
13. Use MSN, AIM, ICQ, Jabber, with a single program.
You may have accounted for several instant messaging services, such as MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, Jabber, AIM, etc. While running Windows or Mac OS X, you presumably need one program to interface with every last one of those: MSN Messenger for MSN, ICQ for ICQ, and so on.
With Pidgin, the moment errand person for Linux (it exists for Windows also, and for Mac OS X with the name "Adium"), you can interface with every one of these administrations immediately, with this one program, and see every one of your mates simultaneously.
14. Too many windows?
Use workspaces. Workspace is a feature I would never trade for anything else. You probably only have one screen, right? Try Linux, and you have four. Well, you can't actually look at the four of them at the same time, but this doesn't matter since your eyes can't look in two directions at once, right? On the first main screen, lets put your statement processor.
On the second one, your instant messenger software. On the third one, your web browser. So when you're composing something in your promise processor and you need to look at something on the web, no compelling reason to survey every one of your windows to discover your browser, stacked all the way behind the others. You simply change to your third screen and voila�, here it is.
15. Try not to trust that bugs will be settled, report and track them down.
16. Are you tired of restarting your computer all the time?
Have you just upgraded one or two little things on your Windows system with "Windows update"? Please reboot. Have you just installed some new software? Please reboot. Does your system seem unstable? Attempt to reboot, everything will presumably work better after that.
Windows always ask you to restart your computer, and that can be annoying (maybe you happen to have a long download going on, and you don't want to interrupt it because you refreshed a couple of bits of your framework).
In any case, regardless of whether you click "Restart Later", Windows still continues pestering you like clockwork to tell you that you should restart the PC. And if you happen to be away from your computer and you didn't see the question, it will happily reboot automatically. Bye-bye, long download.
Linux basically doesn't need to restart. Regardless of whether you put in new programming (even enormous projects) or perform routine overhauls for your framework, you won't be approached to restart the PC. It is just important when separated from the core of the framework has been refreshed, and that just happens once at regular intervals.
17. Play hundreds of games for free.
18. Help other countries and your own.
19. Get a great music player.
There are a lot of other reasons too and all I can say is Just Try Linux for 15 days and you'll never turn to Windows.
Who should not use Linux?
1. There is some software, that is simply not available for Linux Platform Until recently, many software publishers considered the software market for Linux to be too small to bother releasing software for it. In spite of the fact that this is starting to change, most exclusive programming does not keep running inside Linux.
That being stated, there are a few Open Source programs that can supplant these "basic" restrictive ones. Try these projects out; they regularly discharge Windows adaptations, which you can utilize at the present time. Investigate their screen captures and highlight records, and check whether they fulfill your needs.
If there is a piece of software that you absolutely cannot work without, then keeping Windows is probably a good choice. Be that as it may, you can have both working frameworks introduced (frequently called "double booting"), which can be utilized to suit your needs.
There is additionally a venture called "Wine" which, now and again, is equipped for running a given Windows application in Linux. You can visit their landing page, which incorporates postings of good programming, at www.wineHQ.org. Another alternative accessible is to imitate Windows itself inside Linux, however, this is regularly not appropriate for running superior projects.
2. You are a Hardcore Gamer
Most games are perfect with Windows, and that's it. Some of them have Mac adaptations, and some of them have Linux forms (Quake 4, Neverwinter Nights, and so forth.), however, the vast majority of them simply keep running on Windows.
So in the event that you invest a ton of energy playing ongoing games, you should adhere to Windows. But you can still install Linux, keep Windows, and use both of them, depending on your needs.
3. You are in Printing, Book or Graphics Design Profession Linux software still has very experimental CMYK features. This is getting better, but it's not really satisfying for professional use yet.
While most books and magazines about free software switched to Linux a long time ago (and don't they look great ?!), if you work in the printing industry and use a great deal of CMYK hues, with unpretentious pictures, uncommon printing impacts, and so forth., you most likely should adhere to Windows until further notice. Be that as it may, you can, in any case, introduce Linux, keep Windows (see the introduce segment), and utilize the two, contingent upon your needs.
