I guess I should ellaborate. Windows has all the software, Linux has an alternative for basically everything that does basically the same things. I haven't even touched Photoshop since I started using Gimp. Virus', malware, warms etc don't thrive on Linux systems, it's like putting a shark in an arctic lake. Linux was built for security & is used widely on internet servers since they can't be attacked by common viruses. |
It does not have a drop-in replacement for everything a typical Windows user would do with no more setup than Windows on the same common hardware. There are extreme caveats you are failing to mention.
The virus argument is from 10 years ago. Windows is stable and secure today. Your claim that Linux servers don't or can't get attacked is laughable
