Question about Operating Systems. Is Linux far superior to Windows, or is that just something some people exaggerate about?

I've never used Linux of any kind, just Windows, but have had people in the past tell me how great Linux is and far superior and far more secure

@aguyonline You can start with Ubuntu. You can even try it from within your USB drive without installing it on your machine.

@ABCDEF7 Yeah I've been told it can be used without even installing it on the PC. Not sure what the benefits are though, apart from it being a more secure OS

@aguyonline You can install it multiboot with windows, but be careful, you may lose access to windows if don't do it right way. Search for alternates to all the apps that you use on windows. You may not find opt substitute to all the apps.
