Is linux better than xp?

Linux is not better or worse than XP (I suspect you presently have XP?)
Linux is a totally separate OS, just like Macintosh It depends upon things like: Cost and support Security and application Hardware and software compatibility Even Network and usability There are so many specific differences that we could be here all day discussing (which we won't be )Generally with standalone systems in comes down to making the right choice ie Linux is better if you want to do such things as File Sharing (as an example) because Linux is not as susceptible to Malware, as Windows is But Windows is better for compatibility with Media player (which many users strangely use), but in actual fact thousands of programs So not much of an answer, but more things to think of, but when it comes down to it "Linux is not better or worse than XP" It's just different |
