Have you ever used Linux before? If yes, you might find it too hard to use rather than Windows or Mac. If no, you may be thinking about why people use Linux. But the truth is, Linux is not that what you are thinking. Not only for developers, Linux is also a very good operating system for regular computer users. After using any Linux distribution for 5 to 6 months you will find it really useful. As a regular user, you can get a lot of benefits that other major operating systems can’t provide. In this article I will discuss about top 5 benefits that only Linux users can enjoy.
Faster performance:
Can you
imagine a budget Windows PC for everyday use that provides you a smooth and
fast computing experience everyday? The answer is obviously a big “NO” for most
of you. Linux is a pretty lite OS and it’s compatible with any hardware. If you
install any popular Linux distribution like Ubuntu, Debian or Mint, you can do
your everyday job like browsing, email, youtubing, listening music, watching
series smoothly as long as you want. In Windows, it becomes slower day by day.
But in Linux, you don’t need to worry about that. Even you can keep your
computer turned on for months!
As a regular
user, you can have a decent computing experience at a low budget computer. So,
if you use computer for these kind of work switch to Linux.
Gaming on
Linux is not a very good idea but there are some ways to game on a Linux. Check
the video down below if you are really interested about gaming on a Linux
machine.
Customizable:
Don’t you
boar with a same visual appearance everyday or don’t you want to make your
workspace more cool and fantastic? I do. In windows, you have to change themes
or use skin packs but that doesn’t provides a complete new look but Linux does.
In Linux, you can get a brand new look everyday where Windows has a lot of
limitations. You can make it look like anything as you want. Just Google a
little bit and you will get whatever look you want.
Not only
visually, you can change anything as you want. Many developers use their own Linux
distro. It is not too much hard to build own Linux because everything is open
source.
Live OS from USB:
Suppose, you
need Linux urgently on a computer and have no time or no chance to install the
whole Operating System or you have a special software that is installed on your
Linux machine and you are not in touch with that. That’s why the USB live mode feature
comes with Linux. You can install Linux in a USB stick or thumb-drive or
pendrive whatever you say. You can simply boot from a USB flash drive without
installing it on a disk. Just run it directly without installation. Configuring
for USB persistence your changes can be saved in the USB Drive. So, whenever
you need it, just plug and play.
Sometimes
live mode is used to repair error or failure of installed Linux.
Even it can
repair a broken Windows. So, Linux users are greatly benefited by it.
Secure:
Are you
concerned about digital security? Remember that Ransomware attack and NSA
(National Security Agency) Windows exploits?
Every year
billion dollar of info-stature are being damaged by many cyber-attacks, Ransomware
attacks, Spyware, Adware, Malwares etc.
In Windows, you need to spend money after anti-viruses and internet security
softwares. But these SHITs can’t ensure your security and they can be easily
bypassed by professional hackers and cyber criminals. I will write another post
about it. Keep visiting.
Again some
foreign spy agencies like NSA, MOSSAD, ISI, RAW etc. are looking for your
personal information. Even Microsoft Corporation, the tech giant, might be
helping them by leaving a backdoor into your computer system. So you can’t not
be stay 100% safe in Windows operating system.
In Linux,
you don’t need to worry about that. Linux is an open source operating system
and its code is visible to all. There is no chance of any built-in backdoor.
People from all around the world are working for it to make it more secure. If
any vulnerability found, it fixes within hours. Moreover, hackers don’t target
Linux as very few people use it. It is very hard to find any malware or ransomware
designed for Linux. So, Linux user don’t need to be worried about losing their
files.
For security
reason, Linux is way more better then Windows. Sorry Microsoft
Reliable:
One thing I
like most about Linux system is it’s more reliable. At least, I can expect that
the system will boot next time! I have used many Windows versions and many
times my system got ruined. I want to clear that I’ve used pirated versions.
May be legal copies don’t have these issues but if you want a free OS, Linux is
for you. It can handle all your daily jobs smoothly. Don’t need to worry about
that “Blue Screen” (Screen of Death!!). Just install a popular distribution of
Linux and you will gate life time support, update and everything for free. In
this case, Linux is more reliable.
Linux don’t
spy on you (as I mentioned earlier). You may heard about specious activity
about Microsoft Windows. They collects user data even if you turn off that.
It’s hard to trust Microsoft and their software nowadays. Being concerned about
privacy, I highly recommend you to use Linux.
Thanks for
reading the whole article. These are the top 5 benefits a regular Linux user
can enjoy. If you are in developer community, you can get a huge number of
benefits from Linux system. So, try out a Linux this week.
