Windows or Linux?

Windows!!!!

I keep reading and seeing the same recurring statements- with users saying that Linux is only good for server/hosting based usage... We are not talking about Unix. Any OS can host a server, and Unix based systems generally are durable servers, that doesn't mean it has no other usage.

Linux is great for many things.
I will, however, use Windows for gaming, something that Unix based systems are definitely not known for. :p

It is on Preference .... I have both Windows and LINUX. In 10 years with windows I have had about roughly 3 to 5 problems with windows. In the same amount of time I have had the same amount of problems with LINUX. So I figure just pick one you are more comfortable with and go with that. Then I do believe it would based on your level of computer knowledge. Microsoft support will usually pick up without you ever being on hold and help you within 5 to 10 mins depending on the difficulty of the problem. LINUX you have to go to a Forum and deal with hostile people to get an answer which in turn is technical and not made for a layman. Which for a person not computer savy can make them frustrated and give up. I know this one because I installed LINUX on a lot of computers just to have to go back and install windows because the customers got frustrated with os, not knowing how to use it or running into problems they could resolve

Since most people are using Windows, it makes it safer to use Linux, which is a good thing.

Windows for human, Linux for bots

Linux is far superior to Windows, it is better for performance, every aspect of it is FREE. i mean, who wants to pay £100 for Windows, £100 for office when i could get it all for £0? i know which option i'd choose!

yes, because it is free there is less support from a Technical Service Desk, also note that Microsofts is possibley the 3rd worse call centre ive ever spoken to and ive worked in the industry for a few years now.

but the best way to find answers in life (for all things) is to Google it!!

use Wine for applications that arent supported, there are few things that really require a Windows OS. open your mind, man!!
