Linux for Newbies

Why Linux?
-Free
-No viruses
-Open source, no suprises in code like surveillance etc.

Can you easily install games and all other software on linux?
-There are alternatives if you are willing to compromise for almost every software that exists for windows. Some games exist for linux, steam now supports linux, and many popular games can be run using WINE which is a compatibility layer.

How do I install linux on a Windows machine?
-If you want to install it to your harddrive without altering partitions, you may try wubi, which is the Ubuntu Windows Installer.
-If you want to try different linux distributions and how they work on your computer, you can try UNetBootin and a Flash drive.

Hello!

You have searched for Download Linux.

You can go to downloads and download an iso to burn on a cd/dvd there.

If you don't have a cd/dvd maybe you have a bootable usb memory.
