<![CDATA[Interesting article, although it seems to be mostly aimed at convincing people to switch from one GUI environment to another, namely from Microsoft Windows to KDE and Gnome. I think it is incorrect to say that the operating system was creating by Linus Trovalds; this has been commented on by others. You fail to mention the hard work by the GNU/FSF folks. This notion that Linus invented a kernel and scooped up a bunch of utilities lying around is somewhat of a misconception and Linux is somewhat of a misnomer because of this. I know I\'m coming off as a nerd with a ax to grind but this isn\'t so as I only want to point out that the GUI in Linux is great for Windows users as an initial ease of migration, however you soon come up against its many limitations, and then you must start dealing with the Unix-like underpinnings; that really make this operating system/kernel powerful, exciting and educational. If you are interested in learning about computers and how they operate and are interested in learning Unix as well, then please run Linux however if you simply use your computer to play games Windows is a good toy for just that.<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FOperating-Systems%2FLinux%2FTop-10-Reasons-to-Use-Linux.52538%23comment405905"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FOperating-Systems%2FLinux%2FTop-10-Reasons-to-Use-Linux.52538%23comment405905" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[I totally agree! I have been using various flavours of Linux for 6 yrs or more.  I started when I got a massive prob on a windows system through downloading a virus. From then on I used a dual boot machine running win98 and Linux.  I only ever used Linux on the web thereafter and I have never had another prob with viruses. I am now running a Compaq laptop with WinXP and Mandriva One (free download) I also use a Live music studio CD (A Linux OS which has masses of Music Studio Software included) called Musix - I can play my midi keyboard using the synthesisers and other software with this CD.<br />
I love the freedom of choice with Linux.  Long live the Penguin!<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FOperating-Systems%2FLinux%2FTop-10-Reasons-to-Use-Linux.52538%23comment160086"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FOperating-Systems%2FLinux%2FTop-10-Reasons-to-Use-Linux.52538%23comment160086" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

Good points. As I said at the end of my article, it is all a matter of choice, really.  If windows does what you need to do better, go ahead.  If not, hey, your decision.  I'm just providing reasons why you may wish to give it a shot.<br />
<br />
@ jonny rocket: No, I didn't really mean that, completely.  Windows is better at some things than Linux, remember.  I'll freely admit that.  However, you have the _choice_ to what you can do, whether it's using Linux, Windows, or even dual-booting.  Not my decision.  <br />
<br />
Thanks for the feedback, everyone!<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FOperating-Systems%2FLinux%2FTop-10-Reasons-to-Use-Linux.52538%23comment129937"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FOperating-Systems%2FLinux%2FTop-10-Reasons-to-Use-Linux.52538%23comment129937" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[there's one little fact to remember: not many companies support linux YET. And for most games released in past years, there most probably won't be linux versions no matter how many people would like to play them.<br />
Now don't get me wrong, I used to work for a game company that is working on linux-games, but there still aren't many game companies that would do it even for their most wanted-to-play games.<br />
Linux is a great OS and I'd love to use it, but I use Windows Vista because the software compatibility, although not so good in this either, is much better than in Linux.<br />
As soon as someone gets 3D Studio max and photoshop working on it flawlessly, as they do in Vista 64-bit.<br />
I've tried using blender and I don't like it, I use 3D Studio MAX because it's easy and gives good results.<br />
I've also tried GimpShop, which doesn't offer even nearly what you would expect once you read about it.<br />
So for a home computer user who appreciates easy usage, windows is the best choice. For some people who enjoy finding out how things work and spending the time to set everything up for themselves, Linux is the one.<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FOperating-Systems%2FLinux%2FTop-10-Reasons-to-Use-Linux.52538%23comment64610"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FOperating-Systems%2FLinux%2FTop-10-Reasons-to-Use-Linux.52538%23comment64610" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
