NO VIRUSES

Unlike Microsoft windows . Linux isn't targeted by hackers since the user base is only in around 1.5% of the worlds computer systems . You are more likely to get struck by an asteroid than get a virus in LINUX .just keep doing updates

SAFE FROM SPYWARE

ENCRYPTION BY DEFAULT

UPDATES CONTROLLED BY YOU

Linux never updates any part of your computer at any time without permission and will not shut your computer down unexpectedly during updates, nor will it stop you from turning your computer off by updating as you shut the computer down during important gaming or working time.

ALL THE PROGRAMS IN LINUX ARE FREEWARE OPEN SOURCE.

When you Install it you own it. With windows . They own the operating system and it is leased to you. Microsoft are allowed to enter your computer any time without invitation. In Linux this will not happen because the back doors are not there as they are in windows.

Linux Is the most customisable operating system available. You can make it look virtually however you like but the default settings really are spectacular and a joy to work on for gaming or creating. .

You can easily download and uninstall applications, when you install anything on your computer it requires an authentication password which prevents anyone from changing anything on your computer.

I love using Linux and I really want to make it easier for people to use. That's why I started doing this, I hope you enjoy using Linux as much as I do and that my experience with it can help others to get more out of it.
