Dude you will like Linux, when one days Windows, breaks down, failing to boot and you have to recover the data. Many of my friends faced that situation
. That case linux will be the only savior.
When I said, “I don’t use Linux much these days” I think I should have made it clearer that it doesn’t make me a Linux hater. On the contrary I’m a Big fan of “Open Source” including Linux
