In recent weeks we have heard a lot about Windows and its latest version Windows 11.
You know that among the Penguins we don’t really like this system, especially when we are so closed.
Not being able to install an operating system on the computer of one’s choice is heresy!
The prerequisites for Windows 11 are aberrant and fortunately Linux systems exist
Why choose Linux?
Linux is a free and open-source operating system. Everyone can improve it and it is free ! With systems like Ubuntu or Debian you can bring an old computer back to life. Most devices are recognized immediately! It is also one of the most secure operating systems. No need for antivirus on Linux! Viruses are almost non-existent!
The free world community is open and offers you guides, tutorials and lots of content to help you. You will never be alone when faced with a problem.
We summarize:
Linux is free, there are no viruses and you can install it on any machine. Even an old hello from 2010!
Which distributions to choose?
For family
You will surely discover different Distributions like Ubuntu, Debian or even Linux Mint
They look similar and the graphical interface (Gnome) allows you to quickly get started with the system.
I recommend Linux Mint if you come from Windows.
For professionals
There are also professional versions like Ubuntu Server. On this type of distribution you have no graphical interfaces, everything is done on the command line.
Among the uses you can create a secure messaging server, a file server or even install validation nodes for Blockchains. The site Mescryptocurrencies details step by step the installation of a node for the Flux cryptocurrency.
