"Your next big decision is which computer should you keep, your
Linux, Mac, or Windows PC? Duh-- all of them if you like. The
FUDsters try to frame this as an all-or-nothing decision, but back
here on Planet Real People, we use whatever we want to when we want
to. Maybe you are a genuine Photoshop or AutoCad user, fine, don't
get rid of them. Use Linux for other things. A great starting point
for Linux is Web surfing and email. Get used to the pleasure of
safe surfing without having to invest all kinds of money in
marginally-effective anti-malware programs.
"By the way, it is a big lie that Linux is not an attractive
malware target because it has such small market share. It has a
large enough installed base and growth curve to scare the wee out
of Microsoft, and it is not an attractive malware target because it
is hard to infect. Contrariwise, MS Windows is ridiculously easy,
which is evident in its accelerating rates of infection despite
Redmond's promises that every Windows release really is more
secure."
