We don't need to pay for Linux updates
Linux is free to install, and will always be free to update to the latest version.
It seems like almost every major commercial software product has switched to a subscription model, meaning we can't just pay for software and use it for years.
Free Linux software can replace our subscriptions.
Many common malware attacks that target Windows users just won't work on Linux, reducing trips to our local IT repair shop.
We also have complete control over our Linux system, so that we can fix problems and remove unwanted files and software.
We might learn some cool Linux skills in the process.
People might be surprised by what they can fix with a little Googling and how convenient it is to be able to solve a problem and get on with our work without having to wait and pay for tech support.
If we need a new PC and are interested in trying out Linux, we can pick up an ex-business machine super cheap online.
When companies update their fleets of thousands of PCs all at once, they dump the old ones on online auction sites.
Dell, Lenovo, and HP laptops and desktops can often be found for cheap and they'll run Linux and productivity software just as well as a brand-new machine, at a fraction of the cost.
There are many active Linux distributions and I recommend Debian and Rocky Linux.
Enjoy #linux
Well, that was exciting. See you in the next one!
