Windows OS vs. Linux OS

As I conducted a 1 on 1 interview with MARLO SIMON NOVAL (Monmon) as we call him. MARLO SIMON NOVAL is a 4th year student from the University of Immaculate Conception a Linux Os user. As we get along with the interview I asked Marlo a question “Why use Linux OS, why not Windows OS?” according to him “coz Linux is an open source. Windows has been like-a-standard nowadays. And back in 2007, I was so shocked to know that pirating/cracking is a bad thing to do. It's evident that software piracy law is not implemented here in PH that is why promoting the idea of Linux and Open source is just like educating people. Why Linux is better? I don't use Linux because of my advocacy. I use it because it's really a much better and reliable system. Software installation goes in one centralized space. Not like windows that you can make your installation everywhere, which is a total mess! In Linux/Unix, it's centralized, so when you install and uninstall, it's as easy as one-click. Memory management. Most servers all over the world are using Linux UNIX. So using Linux as desktop forwards to a very stable system. For example, I always encode my videos in Linux using the application Adieux. CPU usage goes 99% / Memory already used SWAP space and my desktop is still usable. I can run Firebox and still surfing the net. I can still can watch videos and anything. What a heck? Can you believe it? I'm going 99% and still doing the things I want to do. The Windows OS can't do this. It isn’t ever! Does Linux OS support games? Most games are not supported in Linux. But the WINE project made everything possible. WINE is another open source project aiming to remake the close source windows ape. Coding the Windows API from the ground is year’s hard work and only the WINE project did that. After 15 years of developing. It was successful! Weeee! Can we still put Anti-Virus softwares in Linux? Windows virus is different from Linux. They have different ape. So putting windows virus in Linux won't hurt. For now, no virus has made havoc in Linux systems. But it’s possible to make a virus in Linux. If one can. Here
