well, i have had this laptop for a couple of months now, and it came with vista. My computer runs pretty smoothly, but i would like to switch to a faster os. Also, i have heard that linux is basically virus free, witch would be great because my brother little brother is always on my comp, and it is good too know that if he ever does click on an ad i don't have to worry about my computer going to hell.
Some other things i noticed is that some of my games are not running as good as they should because vista kind of bulks it up in the background. Battlefield 1942 doesn't even start up properly because i have found out that vista doesn't support it.
So can anyone tell me if it would be a good idea to switch to linux, and tell me the benefits of it and disadvantages.
I have heard that a lot of new games don't work with linux, but are they ever updated to were they could work?
also it seems that there are more than 1 version of linux, witch one should i get. it needs to be free.
