Why we should use GNU/Linux Distributions
There are various reasons why you should drop Windows and Mac OS X, but there are also reasons why you should drop Linux and grab a copy of Windows or an overpriced Macintosh computer. Let’s start with why you SHOULDN’T use GNU/Linux *I know this is a persuasive essay, but I won’t be too biased. I have to try them out and compare them before judging which is superior to the other*
1. If you like to play a lot of games. Some people pay up to a thousand dollars for a gaming rig *Rig is an alternative name for a computer*, and 2 thousand more if it’s a Macintosh, because not only do you have to buy a Mac Pro, and if you want to play every game out there, you have to pay for Windows 7, and download the games off of Steam *Which most aren’t cheap, might I add, but there are other market places you can buy games off of, but Steam is the most popular*.
2. If you absolutely can’t live without Netflix, and that means you can’t bear to find an alternative *I admit, I miss Netflix too, but I can go without it* then Linux is not for you... yet, Netflix has given support for Linux-based devices such as Android *Yes, Google’s Android runs the Linux Kernel* and Google’s new Chrome OS *Or Chromebooks which ALSO run the Linux Kernel* but not Linux. Silverlight is controlled by Microsoft, and they do not want to release the source code to the public, so Linux engineers have to reverse engineer it, and most of the times, Open Source variants are not as good as the proprietary. The outcome of it all was Moonlight, but Moonlight was not as good as Silverlight, and thus is the reason why Netflix will not run on Linux yet. To add to what I said before, Netflix is announcing HTML5 support for it, so any one using Google Chrome/Chromium, regardless of the OS will be able to use Netflix.
3. If you are very slow to change, which means that if you only use Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 8 because you don’t care as long as it works, or
