# Linux, Should you use it? Can you use it?

### Some context: 
I'm just a student and I have been using windows from my childhood, but I switched  to linux about a month ago. I install ubuntu on my main PC as windows was lagging a lot. My PC is a very low end PC so I taught to give linux a try. I then installed kde plasma environment on my ubuntu. And I am so happy with it that I would never switch to windows again.
P.S. I'm not a die-hard programmer or a hacker, I am just a common user with some python knowledge.


Linux has a lot of awesome features. Lemme list few of the notable ones. 
## Features:
- **Completely Free :**
Unlike windows, Linux has  multiple distros that are completely free. 

- **Customisation :**
Believe me when I say that Linux can customised to the fullest. You can customise every element of the operating system. 
 
- **Flexibility :**
If you don't like something in your Linux operating system , you can change it according to your preferences. You are not bonded to use the default softwares/packages.

- **Runs better on low end hardware :**
Some linux distros have very low system requirements and can run perfectly on lowend hardware. 
I have a low end PC and windows used to lag a lot but linux doesn't. 

and many other features...

# Who should use Linux instead of Windows?
If you are a developer, there is a high chance you are already using linux, but if you are not, then you can give it a try. 
Installing linux & other softwares can something cause some issues, so if you are good at troubleshooting or googling then you can give it a try. 
Or you are just bored of Windows and like to tinker around with your computer. 

# Which are the most user friendly Linux Distros?
I haven't tried many distros but according to me , you can try Ubuntu for basic users. Or you can try Kubuntu, it has KDE environment & has a lot of customisation features while is still very user friendly. 


After all linux is used everywhere from the high end servers to your android smartphones, so why not give it a try on your desktop computer as well. 


***TL;DR - Give Linux a try, especially KDE plasma environment (Kubuntu)***
