Linux


My friend told me that its more stable then Microsoft product, so I thought I would give it a try. Since I started using Linux, my computer doesn’t crash, freeze, or even slow down. It boots up 5 times faster, and shuts down faster. I would think Windows would be more stable since you pay for it and its made by Microsoft, which is one of the richest company’s in the world?

I am an amateur game developer and am looking at Linux as an alternative to Windows. I am using Microsoft Visual C++, but can run it using WINE (I think). A friend recommended trying Linux, because it was a powerful platform. From my research, Ubuntu looks nice. Please only answer if you use Linux!
Plz try that and let me know how it works, and if you dont have v. 6.04, get it from the website
