People nowadays minds' are set into thinking that if you're buying a PC, Microsoft has to also be installed together to make a perfect PC. Really?

The first comparison is 'your pocket' aspect. Linux is free, whereas Microsoft is not free. That's an advantage.
The second thing is basically Linux kind of works the same as Microsoft for some purposes. For a PC that's only used to access Facebook, Twitter, or mails? It works. For PC that's only used to decorate your room because you never use it anyway? That also works perfectly.

In fact, if you just try to understand how Linux works and just set the comparison aside, it is also a perfect working partner. Have fun trying to figure it out!

Computer software nevertheless is never infallible. There are times when even your linux operating system can crash, even though it may be rare according to linux users. It's great to know however that you do have a way to recover your linux and your files and folders. There are a number of options you have.

For instance, you could use the Knoppix tool which has the ability to rescue some of your data. This can be useful because you don't want to lose your data, especially your work files and documents.

While the focus of the diminution of the desktop machine in modern usage in favor of various mobile devices has been on the potential effects on Microsoft and its dominant Windows operating system platform, there is every likelihood that the Linux desktop platform will suffer as well. You already get some sense of this just reading various industry rags… where two or three years ago it was hard to make it through the week without seeing another Windows vs. Linux debate in the press, today it's hard to find much fervor either way. Most of the combatants have gone out and bought iPhones, it seems.

To whatever extent Linux was always a sort of itch scratching self motivated phenomena carried by various geeks with their own interests, it probably didn't have a lot to worry about, but now it is getting a breath of support from the very mobile device manufacturers that may be supplanting it as a computing focus. Samsung and Nokia have announced additional support for kernel development.
