Here are 10 good reasons why you shouldn't switch to Linux… Here you have them:
1- You are 104 years old.
2- You don't want to change OS, nor do you want your grave to be desecrated.
3- He was diagnosed with a terminal illness and has 2 days to live. It is preferable to spend them with the family.
4- You claim that because you never understood StarWars, or Star Trek, or Stargate, or Tron ... you won't understand Linux either.
5- You have no friends to rub in your face that you no longer use Windows.
6- You live in the most remote corner of Africa, in your tribe there are more serious problems than changing the Operating System.
7- You have short-term memory loss. Every 5 minutes you forget why you wanted to try Linux.
8- Linux has no minesweeper, which is the only thing you use your useless pc for.
9- You will miss formatting every two months. I wouldn't know what to do with all that free time.
10 You could never quit smoking, you never learned to drive a car, you never knew how to change a light bulb, much less, you can change the Operating System.
Haha, the truth is that there are very good reasons. I am there, in the middle, let's say. I was already experimenting with linux, it is more I have it installed on my machine. But still I still need to find a couple of things in linux. For example an evernote, for me it is essential. out there if I found a good win dows virtual machine that worked, linux would change me. But for now I only rpobe the wine and the truth does not convince me.
You forgot about:
'you will miss being constantly consulted by windows about the actions you want to perform, for example, reaffirming twice that you want to turn off the pc' and so on ...
Matt, what if you do the other way around? Can you get yourself a good virtual machine that runs Linux on Windows?
hahaha as always a windows user can not express real reasons for which to stay in windows,
Age does not matter. A 67-year-old person programmed more than 300 drivers for webcams, it could be that he did not have something to do but the guy raffled it.
The minesweeper if it is in Ubuntu, it is called mines and it comes by default in the installation, in addition to a good number of games including card games.
And as I said in another comment, most Windows users are there for lack of IT culture, up to a point.
@Matias, I don't think you should switch to Linux either since you have serious problems with the terms, a virtual machine is not wine, there are others such as Qemu, Virtual Box, VMware, among others, Wine is just an Emulator of the The way Windows handles Libraries and recreates it in Windows environments, there are also programs to do the same with programs for Linux in Windows.
It is a response from someone who has tried both sides but is on the side of the GNU / Linux force, response with humor like the post, greetings and do not be offended, if there is a writer in favor of windows there will be a reader who makes him see another world outside the windows.
IT IS NOT THE ORIGINGAL ROAD FINDER!
IT'S A COPY!
linux if you have minesweeper, at least Ubuntu. You have to remove a reason :-)
great, yes sir
Ten has killed me, I think it's the biggest reason of all !!
...
n - He loves to click Next, Next, Next,…, Next, Finish
n + 1 - You always need an Office Assistant (fucking dog and magician)
n + m - Find help on the internet or a close friend to get rid of some viruses
The article is very good, I agree with Hebi, the 10 is the largest

¬ ¬ is not what they want? do the same as in winsuck's ?? of course it is the same ..
They ask .. They ask .. they complain .. They ask .. They ask ..
@Miguel Gastelum
I disagree with what
"I don't think you should switch to Linux either since you have serious problems with the terms,"
When I switched to linux a little over a year ago, it wasn't much ... I also had problems with the terms and I thought that wine was a windows emulator, that a package was the same as a dll and that samba was all I needed until I discovered ssh and derivatives.
I recommend switching to Linux precisely if you do not know and want to know, because reading terms without putting them into practice is useless. Now, if you falter, go back to windows xp and try again in a year when it's even easier.
I tried with hoary, and I couldn't even connect to the internet, I tried with dapper and it broke the whole system right away, I tried with feisty and it broke the system but I was able to fix it and since then it has not returned to xp. It is until you realize that in linux you CAN fix things without formatting. It is a matter of practice, patience and desire.
regards
good but, I do not solve the things formatting in my xp. I format once a year or so, and I'm completely hassle free.
I think that Miguel Luis was referring to putting it as one more reason, since in general those who defragment the disk in Windows know that the file system that Linux uses does not need it
n + k: because he thinks the windows key on the keyboard will be unusable
gnu / linux doesn't have a hard disk defragmenter, so you won't know how to make it useless while your computer is more than 30 minutes out
Here I leave the answer to miguel luis about why linux does not need disk defragmenter, in this link:
http://itaca.nireblog.com/post/2006/08/19/por-que-no-es-necesario-desfragmentar-en-linux
Well, because I suppose he puts everything in its place, not like Win, who is quite a restless ass and likes to move everything.
"Because he thinks that the windows key of the keyboard will be unusable" ... haha, that one passed me.
Why don't you have IE? ah no, that's not okay, FF is better ...
Why don't you have the Guord? Neither, OpenOffice.org is more comfortable ...
Why can't I run the little games? Yes ball, you become a virtual machine.
Why don't I have the CD to install it? Ubuntu will send it to your house.
Uff, so good, I'll change ...
to Felipe: true my friend
you if you interpreted my comment well,
Before speaking ill of gnu / linux I would prefer to cut my testicles with a red-hot knife, and if I said about the defragmentation it was because I once had a dark past (XP) and every 30 days I had to do it, and During that time, I would lie in bed, I would watch TV and my frustration was such that one day I said to myself, that there won't be another operating system that doesn't need these pulls?
Well, if there is, if there is a slight revision of the file system that lasts less than 1 minute and that at startup of the operating system ... and that every 30 startups of the deb-type operating system (although the rpm and slack-based types do not I know how it happens)
Well… .. I just installed win xp ue on a notebook and late …… 20min and without doing a single click.
esty, stop using pirated software, God will punish you ;-)
jje upss sorry miguel luis for the misinterpretation sister
Anyway there they have that very useful page for those who wonder why it is not defragmented in Linux
and once again excuse the misinterpretation
Another of the excuses that Windows users use a lot: is that it does not have msn messenger
poor dupes who don't know the power of amsn
that allows you to record webcam sessions
from pidgin which is multi protocol and emesene
besides that all these are free of propaganda
as they say in the regions »long live the linux king» '
In reality, these and many more paradigms that users and even technicians put themselves in front of in order not to migrate are for fear of spoiling what has already been spoiled, to put it one way, it is fear of not reaching beyond a routine control
where you simply dedicate yourself to cleaning registries, defragmenting and checking your disk, you restore the system and pass the anivirus when something goes wrong, or the convenience of installing patches and plugins and filling your computer with so much program that in the end you do not use but that just knowing that you have it there gives you some security
the fear of advancing to something a little more complex but that will take you out of doubts will teach you and give you the opportunity to share that learning
that is why those who migrate do so for the reasons
that they feel that their system does not meet expectations, they get tired of the routine or feel like the sheep of a herd in a tired and routine walk with the current
I do not encourage those who feel comfortable with their system to migrate, but those who are hungry for knowledge, if I say something to them when you migrate to free software, you will see and think differently, it is like the vision of neo in the matrix and in the world of the machines
Well, linux does have minesweeper, in Gnome (Mines) and in KDE (Kmines).
By the way, the comment form does not look good in Opera 9.52 for Linux
I believe that everyone is free to do what they want. Each one looks for what he needs. I have what I need in Linux.
All the best
jojojoj… duriiiisimooo o // soul !!!!
COD 5 rules !!!!
they forgot "you won't be able to play wonderful singleplayer and online games"
how am i going to play crysis on linux? and to hell 3? and to fable 2? and the call of dutty 5?
but I am calm knowing that I will be able to use a robust and powerful kernel that will allow me not to hang my calculation plan, right?
bored!!!!!
haha, it was a joke, I think that each so has its advantages and that they are very well differentiated, linux offers you a completely advanced structure that luckily is increasingly oriented to the user, but not to the average user.
Windows gives you a system a little (sometimes a lot very) less stable, but it is much easier to understand, I am sure that everyone learned a lot of what they know with their windows pc and once they needed more they migrated to linux, windows is a simple door to open to the world of computer science, then what one decides will depend on the needs.
I saw that I am not talking about those idiots who run out of internet and think that the pc is useless for anything else (I work at speedy and there are many who call you saying that).
ps: games rule !!!
haha yes!!! che this is distorting ...
I'm going salu2
Hahaha
lol amazing reasons
The only bad thing is that I do want to change to linux but my stupid brother does not want to every time I put or the ubuntu or mandriva he takes it away
"Because you don't understand him"
Although I have already taken it a step forward, almost all my programs are free linux software (of course they run with windows: P)
very good blog by the way
Reason 11: Bill needs your money XD
Hello friends I USE LINUX heh heh and well I do not have to format a while, I do not feel handling a double standard since I never paid the license, I solved the driver problems it is hard to learn (well, you never finish) I started x Ubuntu is easy But now I know that I couldn't live without using Linux. I'm sorry, a part of me feels fulfilled.
Very good article I have laughed a lot, I totally agree. Many users do not use Linux because they do not know how to change operating systems.
For those who are interested in the subject, I found a good article that might interest you: https://lareddelbit.ga/2019/12/20/por-que-deberias-de-cambiar-a-gnu-linux/
