SWITCH TO LINUX
Why Linux is better than
Windows:
Windows comes in a variety of paid-for
editions (such as Windows 7 and
Windows 10), each of which offers
several different versions (Home, Pro
and, in the case of Windows 10, S).
The one you opt for will depend on your
budget and computing needs, but if
youre buying a new PC, it will almost

benefits of Microsofts latest OS.
With Linux, there are a lot of different
operating systems or distros to pick
from and theyre all free. Depending on
what you intend to do with your OS,
youll be able to find a distro thats
perfect for your needs. For example,
