Cool Things About Linux
- RECYLE OLD HARDWARE - You can recycle a PC or Laptop with old hardware and make it usable and productive in today's world. Take my 2003 Dell Inspiron, for instance, which has Ubuntu 12.04 running on it. I hadn't used it for years and left it at home. My brother installed Ubuntu 10.04 dual boot with Windows on it while I was gone living elsewhere. Of course, he didn't have my password and saw that old computer laying around idle and decided to make good use of it. When I returned after years of living elsewhere, I turned on the POWER button and was introduced to the Brave New World of Linux in November 2011. I had NO idea what Linux was, much less Ubuntu, until I powered up my old Dell.
- RECOVER FILES ON WINDOWS IF YOU FORGET YOUR PASSWORD - You can recover your important files stored in Windows if you momentarily suffered amnesia and FORGOT your Windows password. (How do you recover it? Install a Linux Distro dual boot with your Windows OS. That's what I did with my 2008 Toshiba Satellite that I had to temporarily ditch after my Windows 2003 got a virus on it. This unlucky event forced me to purchase a new 2010 HP Pavillion Netbook with Windows 7 on it so for 3 years of non-use I completely forgot my Toshiba Laptop's password EVEN with the HINT. ARRRGH!!! But lo and behold, Linux Mint comes to the rescue with Dual Boot and I have access to my Windows 2003 partition AND FILES! YAY!!!
- Just about all the software that you need for any use except for some games made by commercial Big Game Vendors like Valve or Steam are FREE!!!
