How to install Linux or Turn your PC into kind of Apple Because Mac OSX is a GNU/Linux distro to.
Because everytime you install Linux you save a kitty from the patent trolls
Pros:
- Cost (usually free)
- Stability (although other operating systems are pretty good nowadays too)
- Far less susceptible to viruses and malware
- Anti-virus software usually not required
- Works well on older hardware
- Firefox/Chrome both available
Cons:
- Active Directory tie-in works, but is sometimes buggy (auth & file sharing)
- Proprietary Windows/OSX apps usually won’t work (Look for web solutions)
- Internet Explorer not available for those legacy web apps that need it
- Slight learning curve, especially for less tech savvy users
- LibreOffice/OpenOffice not as powerful as Microsoft Office for some things
- Fewer regular employees are “techy” enough to solve their own issues (and their peers’) when they arise.
