Why Should We Use Linux?

Yes friends, in today's post I will talk about why we should use Linux and the advantages of using Linux.

Now I want to start the article like this. It might sound like I'm starting too far back, but that's okay.

Now, you go into a store to buy a computer and you set your sights on one. The price of the computer is around 2,000 - 3,000 TL. If you are someone who doesn't play many games in general, this computer will be sufficient for you in a year.
If you use programs like office programs in your daily life, or often browse the internet, whether your operating system is Windows or not is actually not that important for you.
Therefore, when buying a computer, you can get a FreeDos computer instead of Windows and install Linux.
This will give you a discount of at least 100 - 200 TL when buying the computer.
You can install any Linux distribution you like for free on the computer you bought and use it as you wish.

Now let's list the reasons.

Linux is Free 

Yes, there are lots of Linux distributions and most of them are completely free. You don't need to pay anything extra.
There are no hassles over versions like Pro, Ultimate, Home.
It comes with many useful applications/software and these are also free. You don't need to pay annual fees for programs like Office 360.
Additionally, to mention, through programs like Wine on Linux, you can run many ".exe" files and even play games exclusive to Windows. Also, since Steam supports migration to Linux systems, many games are available on Linux as well.

It is Simple

Linux systems are really simple. They're like Windows 7 but crash less.

They are Stable

No constant blue screens or slowdown problems. They are stable and stay just like the day you first installed them.
So you don't constantly have to format your system.

It Teaches You About Computers

Yes, once you start using a Linux distribution, you'll understand this; thanks to the terminal, you gain experience about computers. At the very least, you understand the logic of coding a bit. If you use Linux at an advanced level, you'll solve coding very easily as well.
Even installing software using the terminal is a form of coding at a basic level.

It is Secure

Since it doesn't have as many users as Windows, there aren't as many viruses, and additionally, viruses that harm Windows won't work on Linux, making it quite secure. Thanks to its open-source code and being developed by many unique contributors, it ensures a faster path in patching security vulnerabilities.


There Are Many Linux Operating Systems (Pick and Choose)

As I said, there are multiple Linux OS, if one isn't useful to you, the other definitely will be.
Some Linux operating systems include:

  • Pardus (Our national pride)
  • Deepin OS
  • Debian
  • Ubuntu, Kubuntu, GooBuntu (Used by Google)
  • Linux Mint
  • Deepin (Its design is really beautiful)
  • OpenSUSE
  • CentOS
  • Tails
  • Arch Linux
  • Kali Linux

There is also a distribution like Pardus created by our nation, and it is one of the most stable Linux operating systems.
If you want my recommendations, I will always lean towards Ubuntu and Pardus. Additionally, with its MacOS-like appearance and built-in graphics driver installation feature, Deepin OS is another one I will definitely recommend, and in fact, for those who are new to Linux, Deepin is the very first version I recommend you start with.
