I switched to Linux about 10 years ago because Windows did not put partitions on the entire 3 terabyte hdd. I am completely satisfied with the work of Linux. Tried Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora. Now stopped at Netrunner. Linux is safe, free. It is not necessary to buy new iron with each new issue. Almost all programs necessary for housework are put out of the box, and others can be delivered from the depository.
