The Linux Challenge

Posted by quesomanrulz On August - 17 - 2009

You’ve probably heard of Linux, if you haven’t you probably don’t belong on this site. If you haven’t heard of Linux maybe “Ubuntu” sounds familiar. No? Well whether or not you’ve heard of it, you really should try it. At least, according to a post on Overclock.net. This post, which currently has 117 pages of replies btw by the way, is a complete argument about why a common Windows user should really consider trying Linux as a full time alternative to Windows. It actually has a challenge included, it challenges the reader to choose a Linux distro of their choice, it of course recommends Ubuntu, and dual boot it with their Windows install. You must then take the time to properly set it up (installing all your programs, adding all your Firefox add-ons and bookmarks, etc.) and then run it for a few weeks without booting into Windows unless you absolutely have to and see if you want to go back. I would bet that quite a few of you would choose to dual boot all the time or maybe even run Linux exclusively. Give it a try!
