So this is my first post, and today's post is about Operating system, its been a few days i have ventured on to a search for an ideal OS that satisfies my expectation. so i started by downloading ubuntu 10.0 which is one of the most used opensourse os. It all started for me not being satisfied with what windows has to offer, but no i don't mean windows is not good, its is an absolutely awesome os but the limitation it offers to its user is what made me switch. Now having said that, i am not a windows super user and even a linux super user but when it comes to all free softwares opensource has to offer, it made me more and more interested in it. "it's designed by the users for the users" is what linux is about, but when it comes to windows it is developed entire for the consumers and the users have to comply with what all features it comes with, for instance most of us don't really like to use Internet explorer, but we cannot remove it and use firefox or goggle chrome in its place, and when it comes to linux we could entirely change all the softwares it comes with and make it the way we like, and those softwares are all but free, you could get all the info about the os and its compatibility on the forums, you could raise questions and answer some. linux runes on almost all pc or mac, no matter how old your PC is, it runs just fine on a pc with 32 mb of ram and its totally free of any viruses out there since its designed by the users for the users.
But theres one thing that troubles newbies when it comes to linux, it doesn't have a really good graphical user interface as compared to windows but the developments that have been made so far, it actually has a good enough user interface, take ubuntu for instance, its a perfect os to get started with.
If you too are willing to go out there and get the best out of opnsource, i would recommend you to use ubuntu 11.4, since its stable as of the time of writing this, though 11.10 too is released, its not that stable.
To start off i would also recommend you to use wubi, this way, using wubi you won't have to format your existing system, wubi stands for "windows ubuntu installer" and once installed it gets installed inside of windows and later you could reboot and log into ubuntu and well check how awesome it is, once installed and u are good go, go through the forums to learn more, for you will have to learn it from scratches since most of us are used to improved GUI (graphical user interface) in windows where you needn't use much of commands, but in linux you need to learn to use command lines through terminal.
That having said check out the awesomeness of opensource and do comment about your opinion.
