Security
Free
Stability
Update everything with single click
Safe repositories full of everything you'd ever need and more (So no browsing the web for potentially dangerous programs because Linux uses repositories approved by the devs, so even if it got popular and people started making lots of viruses for Linux, it'd still be safe because 1) The security is just that good, and 2) repositories)
3D Desktops & Desktop Effects without losing speed or paying money
Better support & better communities
Multiple workspaces/Desktops
Almost instant bug-fix updates on Linux, as opposed to having to wait for bug fixes from Microsoft that come out very slowly
Speed
Customization (Even if you don't know code you can change desktop environments, add Awn/Cairo-Dock, etc.)
etc.

>Implying that being Opensource is a bad thing

>Implying that Windows can't also be used for hacking.

Also, Linux is faster than Windows (Especially for internet)

A lot of major programs have Linux support, and if they don't, you can run them in WINE

Distros is a cool word

Linux distros don't have "tech support" really, but their communities will help you. They'll help you solve any problem in minutes.

If you're switching from Mac or Windows, then Ubuntu or Mint would be great for you

I play TF2 in Linux and I also play Minecraft, Terraria, and Garry's Mod. Half-Life games also run in WINE.

Microsoft sucks

Yes, there is Flash Player for Linux

But your graphics will explode like a Ford Pinto because you can't use DirectX. You need to use OpenGL.

Microsoft Sam Hates It [SO? IT'S BECAUSE IT'S MORE SUCCESSFUL..]

If you don't know Linux (Obviously you don't very well), then don't talk about it like you are

@James

You don't need DirectX. OpenGL works fine.

The only Apple Product I had was a iPod Touch 4G.

Anyway, OpenGL is a "open source" graphics system.

It may have better security, but it has way too many bugs.

I mean, James, the Linux Games thing was completely wrong.

My entire Steam library can run with WINE.

Opensource is good, not bad. What makes you think that it's bad?

@Jul

No. Way less bugs than Windows, for the most part.

@Han

Actually I'm running a multi-boot between Fedora, Mandriva, and Backtrack.

While I'm no fan of Ubuntu, it is a rather nice distro for new Linux people

@James

Like I said, I play Garry's Mod on Linux all the time.

Nothing good comes out of open source.

Everything good is either freeware or proprietary.

Oh my god.

You're so wrong.

When something is opensource it gives you the freedom to customize it to your needs, it lets you contribute to improving the software for everybody, it helps to fix bugs and other issues in the coding, etc.
