An operating system is the software that manages all the parts in a computer and provides a way for you to interact with it. Windows and macOS are two of the most common operating systems, but there is another option called Linux.
Linux is a free and open-source (that means it's open for public use and modification) operating system that can be a great alternative to Windows, especially if your computer can't be updated to Windows 11 or you have an old computer that runs slow. Here are some key things that make Linux a good option to try:
It's free to download and use - Linux distributions don't cost anything, so you can try it out without any financial commitment.
It's highly customizable - Linux comes in many different "flavors" or distros, each with their own look and feel. This allows you to find a version that suits your preferences.
It's secure and private - Linux is generally considered more secure than Windows, with fewer viruses and malware. It also respects user privacy more. No tracking everything you do and see. Your intimate files stay private rather than sent to Microsoft.
It's lightweight - Many Linux distributions are designed to run well on older or less powerful hardware, making it a good choice if you have an older computer.
We at Privsovi want to make it easy for you to try / install a Linux operating system, so we offer USB flash drives already installed with your choice of Linux, complete with personal instructions. You can also try it out right here on your browser without installing anything to see what it looks like! Feel free to message us if you need any help with installation as well.
30% of all proceeds go to the development of the Linux operating system you chose.
