3 reasons you never heard of linux

This article is based on my opinions, so don’t treat it as solid facts, you be the judge of whatever you read, you decide what is best for you.

Why you never ever heard of Linux?

It’s the origin of most operating systems (Windows, Android, Nokia S40).

It’s virtually impossible to be infected by viruses (Bad news for Anti virus makers huh?)

It’s a free operating system, Complete with applications, office suite, image manipulation software, multimedia tools, and many other features all free of charge (Again bad news for office makers who charge 100$ per year for a single license, and image manipulation software who charge 700$ per license).

Are there other reasons? Do you have comments on my post? Please chime in 🙂
