Answer 3

i have bad computer so i use linux mint xfce which is similar to window

Answer 4

"It's 2021 people. Windows has moved on from the old days of Windows 3.x and Windows 9x"
and also from XP and 7.
7 was the last good OS and ended the support this year :(

Answer 5

In my opinion, no OS is better than the other. However, both are unique and serve their best to specific user requirements and market needs. Both the OS have different marketing target.

Linux offers great speed and security, on the other hand, Windows offers great ease of use, so that even non-tech-savvy people can work easily on personal computers.

Linux is employed by many corporate organizations as servers and OS for security purpose while Windows is mostly employed by business users and gamers. Talking about cost, there are a lot of factors into the picture when we compare the cost of these two OS.

We can’t make a gross generalization that Linux is totally free or cheaper than Windows. Linux’s license cost is zero, but we do have infrastructure cost, software support cost and IT staffing cost for both Windows and Linux.

Answer 6

Linux is definitely more comfortable

Answer 7

Thank you, everybody, for your kind suggestions and time, appreciate it!
So, i will go with the windows as advised by Rellot's screwdriver and will try virtual box as Tapabrata Banerjee [Studying - NO DM] [BUSY] said and Martin Taylor in the end it is me who is made the decision but i am always open to suggestions made by wise men, so please be a little positive and wise!😂
