“I am about to get my first PC, and it will have Windows. I’ve
read so much about Linux and how good it is. Would it be possible
to use it without removing Windows? Also, would you recommend that
a newcomer use Linux?”

“I’d recommend you using it, but not installing it. That’s what
your good buddy at work is for. You know who I’m talking about: the
four-eyed geek in Information Systems who gives “socially
dysfunctional” a whole new spin. Sure, you never spoke to him
before in your life, but you never really needed to, did you?”
