Seven (7) Things you'll love about Linux.



Welcome to Linux!
Congratulations! You have made a great choice in deciding to use the Linux distribution – Linux Mint, Ubuntu or Fedora. Best of all you are not just using it for the benefit of yourself but also for many. Because you are supporting the free software revolution.

The seven good things you'll love about Linux:

  1. Free Software
    If you are a student and do not have enough money to buy for a genuine Operating System, you are just the right person to use Linux Operating System. You can download any Linux distribution like Fedora, Ubuntu and Linux Mint; and you can install it right away from your computer without asking permission from the developer. It is free to use and free of cost.
  1. Free to Distribute
    Aside from cost free, you have also the freedom to distribute it to your neighbors, friends, schoolmates and colleagues. Unlike other operating systems which prohibits illegal copying of their products, Linux is otherwise.
  1. Packed with Application Softwares
    Linux is packed with a lot of application softwares like LibreOffice Writer - can read Microsoft Office word from MS Office 2003, 2007 and 2010, LibreOffice Impress, Sounds and Video Players like VLC, Banshee, Genome MPlayer, Graphics tools like gThumb, and Gimp Image Editor, and many more packages. With over 36,176 packages available in the Internet; all can be freely downloaded and used.
  2. Less Vulnerable to Virus Treats
    Many, if not all, viruses are Microsoft based that's why it is never a problem when you are using Linux. Linux is one of the most secure operating system existing today. Aside from that, free anti-virus are also available just in case there will be malicious software corrupting your system.
  3. User Friendly
    Far from the misconception that Linux is only for those people who are blessed with high level of intellect; Linux now offers a very friendly interface which makes it very easy to use for the masses. Installing applications is very easy and you do not need to worry where you should go to look for the applications because Linux provides a GUI - Graphical User Interface – just like an Add/Remove Software, where, you can easily install and uninstall software.
  4. Unique and Elegant
    Because of freedom, came elegance. When you will be using Linux from time to time, you will uncover a lot of tricks and beauties about the operating system.
  5. Hacking Value
    This is how Linux became known for the past few years – a tool for many nocturnal activities of programmers and hackers. This is for the more advanced users and unfortunately not for beginners. This is however one of the things you'd probably loved as you go along with your journey of using the operating system.
