Things that are easier on Linux than on Mac or Windows
- 20 000 applications and more can be installed through the Software Manager or the package management system
- No major changes to the user interface, all of the major user interfaces made for Linux have been continued
- Updates can be done when you want them, on your schedule
- You can still use your computer when updates are occurring
- Updates cover almost all the programs you have installed, there's no need to upgrade different programs at random different times
- Updates include security fixes and program improvements
- Updates are smaller than on Windows
- Fewer crashes to interrupt what you're doing
- No anti-virus necessary, and no worries if it's updated or configured or working properly
- Spyware or malware removal not necessary
- Multiple desktops
- Support forums where people know what they're talking about
- Filename extensions are not hidden by default, and files are not executable by default, improving security by a lot
- Generally Linux is a lot safer (more secure)
- Linux runs on older and cheaper computers than Windows or Mac OS X
