* 20 000 applications and more can be installed through the Software Manager or the package management system<br />
* Updates can be done when you want them, on your schedule<br />
* You can still use your computer when updates are occurring<br />
* Updates cover almost all the programs you have installed, there's no need to upgrade different programs at random different times<br />
* Updates include security fixes and program improvements<br />
* Updates are smaller than on Windows<br />
* No anti-virus necessary, and no worries if it's updated or configured properly or working correctly<br />
* Spyware or malware removal not necessary<br />
* Multiple desktops<br />
* Support forums where people know what they're talking about<br />
* Filename extensions are not hidden by default, and files are not executable by default, improving security by a lot<br />
* Generally Linux is a lot safer (more secure)<br />
* Linux runs on older and cheaper computers than Windows or Mac OS X<br />
* Linux is usually free</div>Tom G.
