More About Linux

There are still programs that have not been ported to Linux. Windows still has programs that will only work on Windows. I would not recommend that you do away with Windows in favor of Linux, but a desktop PC can definitely be set up with only Linux as its operating system and be useful. I have one PC set up with only Linux and find it is fully useful, but I can't do without Windows, even if only 20% of the time.

No problem because Linux is a real multitasking OS.
