Should you do this, switch OS if you don't know that much about this stuff? What would be recommended reading before doing such a thing if so? Thanks.
Quoting: RedDawnPost can you elaborate? i dont quite understand - maybe my lang limitations...
Should one switch to Linux if you don't know much about computers? I know a little, but not as much as people here who are commenting.
If I should know more what would be recommended reading to get up to speed before switching to Linux?
Thanks.
I think you need to know more about computers if your on windows then linux
I am no expert computer wiz, I build houses for a living.
After installing windows a few hundred times throughout the years and dealing with days of uploading patches and drivers and every program you need to Photoshop and burn disc's, play music, and everything else that requires password keys, etc .. I say fuck windows..
Linux is up and running in 30 min from a fresh install.
Unless you use certain programs for work linux comes with everything you need already installed and everything else you need is free for the basic user. I will never go back, there is no need, linux is everything i ever wanted in a OS.
goto the linuxmint website and download the mint 14 mate file and install it on a usb stick.. you can boot it off your memory stick and try it out. just remove the stick and you get your windows back just the way it was ..
There is no harm in trying it, I am sure happy i did..
And its FREE !!!
