10 Reasons Linux Bests Windows!

Once again, an image of Tux graces our content section, with the help of our latest article that tackles ten things that Linux does a lot better than Windows. This article isn’t only for those who use Linux, because chances are good that a lot of users of the OS already understand where it excels. Arguably, I think the read could be even more interesting for those who’ve never touched Linux before, or have only lightly dabbled in it. Hopefully after reading, you’ll realize that while Linux may not be perfect, it’s amazing just how well it does certain things compared to that multi-hundred dollar OS from Microsoft.

Although I could list far more than 10 things I prefer doing with Linux than with Windows, I felt that number was more of a sweet spot, and allowed me to focus on the more important ones. Of all the things tackled, partitioning is one of my favorites, and of course customization is high up there as well. Since publishing the article, there’s been much discussion of it around the Web, and also in our very own forum, and not just from Linux users.

As I mentioned in the article, I’m more than ready to admit that despite the fact that I use Linux on a daily basis, I can find more wrong with it than with Windows. That might seem a bit strange to say, but for me, the pros of Linux outweigh the cons, so my decision to continue using the OS is simply based on that. The goal of the article, though, was to highlight what I consider to be issues for Windows, or at least strange omissions.

If there’s interest, I’d like to consider writing an article taken from a vice versa standpoint, where I highlight where Windows shines, and where Linux needs to improve if it needs to gain some serious traction in the marketplace. There’s a LOT more to this than simple application and game support, so I’d set out to highlight those.

Either way, Linux user or not, be sure to check the article out! You might just be surprised at Linux’s flexibility and robust nature.

There is no such thing as a “perfect” OS, but given that Microsoft’s Windows costs a pretty penny and Linux is free, it’s a little strange that the latter can do certain things far better than the former. We’re taking a look at our favorite ten, which includes the partitioner, automatic logon, troubleshooting, customization and more.
