Reasons to upgrade from Windows to Linux Ubuntu

Hello Buddies, hope you’re doing so well today. I need your views about LINUX Operating System.

Couple of weeks ago I was with a buddy of mine who happened to a vast web developer running his PC on Linux (precisely the Ubuntu distribution); I was totally captivated with the working environment, extreme security features and the platform of commands with which almost anything is done of the OS (Operation System).  With my thirst to give it a try, I reached out to gather more as touching what I need to know before diving into it. It will be useful for you even if you’re still on windows X.

And here are few:

1. Ubuntu is more secure. Now that Windows is no longer supporting XP, many older systems are extremely vulnerable to viruses and hackers. Ubuntu is virtually virus free.

2. Ubuntu takes up less hard drive space. Many older systems are hampered by limited hard drive space. A full installation of Ubuntu only takes up 5GB of storage space. Users looking for a truly minimal version of Ubuntu should consider XUbuntu http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=xubuntu

3. Ubuntu is faster than Windows XP. A fully upgraded version of Windows XP eats up a ton of system resources. If you don’t re-install XP every few years, it can become extremely bogged down, eventually rendering your computer unusable. A fresh install of Ubuntu will usually yield a significant performance boost on older machines.

4. Ubuntu comes bundled with better software. LibreOffice, Firefox, and the Ubuntu Software Center are all included with Ubuntu completely free of charge. Ubuntu can do everything that Windows XP can do, and all for free with no hidden charges and no bloatware.

5. Ubuntu is fully customizable and compatible. Most comouters running Windows XP can be seamlessly and painlessly upgraded to Ubuntu without downloading a single driver. Ubuntu will automatically detect your hardware. After a quick install from an Ubuntu live cd, you can be up and running in a matter of minutes. Ubuntu is so intuitive and feels so familiar that most people who switch will never look back. Get your copy of Ubuntu here. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop

Now, with these above stated benefits in Linux OS, will you advise me to launch into it?

I’m anticipating reading from you as soon as possible.
