Ubuntu WINS!

by the_webninja9 . Updated 16 years, 1 month ago

I use Ubuntu at home mostly as my Internet Machine, I also have a Windows Machine that I crunch Video and Record audio with, and I have a Windows machine that I use at Work. But time after time using my Windows Xp machines I am always saying “Ubuntu Wins AGAIN!”

For example last night I plugged my Kingston USB 4GB Flash Drive into my Windows system at Work and Windows would not Recognize it. Plowed through about Three hours of Troubleshooting Help Files only to find out it is a common problem with no Fix for it related to Power from the USB and a Software Conflict in XP. Got home plugged my USB Flash Drive into My Ubuntu 10.04 LTS machine, and NO PROBLEM! 🙂 I said “Ubuntu Wins AGAIN!” 🙂
So I thought We should start a Thread listing all the Reasons Why one should Switch to Ubuntu, cause I’m sure I can’t Think of them all. But I’ll start with the ones I know about:

WHY YOU SHOULD SWITCH TO UBUNTU?

1. Ubuntu is More Stable than Windows

2. Ubuntu is Less Susceptible to Viruses

3. Ubuntu is more versatile, & Customizable

4. Ubuntu automatically detects almost everything I plug into it 🙂

5. You can make everything look really cool 🙂
(Oh,…I guess I said that already)

6. Ubuntu can handle cross platform file types.
(Such as Doc files and Windows Media files)

Okay all you Super Techs feel free to jump in.
