Big Brother will not be happy with this rebellious behavior. I gave up trying to fight the wind a long time ago. Why even use Linux when every computer ships with Windows 10 and any computer with Windows 7 still can upgrade freely to Windows 10. I'm not some Windows guru. I used to be quite the rebel with my Timex Sinclair until the dang thing caught fire.

So what are your advantages? Hm, i was curious if it would work. And I don't take a No for an answer, if i didn't have to. The advantages of linux are, it's free, open, fast and secure. I have a main Runtime with over 90 GB of data. If i copy this chunk of data with windows 10, it would take hours to finish the job. Under linux it was done in 45 minutes. On windows 10 and pp11.2 this Runtime loads into the library window with a time delay of several minutes. And to open a specific folder additional time. The same task is done like so under linux. Linux doesn't boot trying to install the newest version of candy crush and I have to wait until this urgent job is finished. But there are reasons to stay in the windows world. It's a lot easier to do things. Just clicking an exe file and install a program right from a web page is one of this advantages. In linux you have several options to install programs but the most efficient way to do things is the terminal. And it's the complicated way. One has to learn command lines and read manuals. But it's fun, I like it. And now, with my favorite program ported into linux, it's even more fun.
