I do agree with you that Linux is definitely more green with less user manuals ect. The problem I have with Linux is I hear it can’t play most games or run all applications. I have used Windows all my life, with many headaches over the years, but I would still have to stick with Windows. Anyhow thanks for the article, I enjoyed reading.
That is very true that many games do not operate on a Linux machine, but you could always run a virtual machine on your machine with windows on it.I disagree with the application part. Linux has many open source applications that are free. This might be more true for me since I have a software developer, but there are applications like Open Office that is just as good as Microsoft Office.
Well David… you can say the same thing about Mac Applications not working on Windows… and Linux specific applications not working on Windows, etc, etc.
In the end, you can pretty much do the same things you want on a Linux machine, as you would on a Windows based machine. The only thing though, as of right now Linux more of an “advanced” Operating System, so for the average user, it really wouldn’t be for them. But in the future.. Linux just may make an impact on the industry outside of computer experts.
Till then,

I have been thinking of switching to Linux for many years now, but as Jean said it may be too “advanced” for me to figure out.
Once I had to use Linux, and I enjoyed this operating system. However, it has many disadvantages, for example, can not install the game, as they are made for Windows.
Forgot to tell about the one big plus of this program. Linux Almost is not vulnerable to computer viruses! But if, in general, I still prefer Windows.
