These types of guides are becoming more and more common. I’d love to see some updates stats on what percentage of PC users use Linux now instead of Microsoft operating systems. If you’ve never tried Linux, a beginners guide is a good place to start. This one’s from Techwarelabs.

Ultimately, the most controversial claim I've made is that it's easier to use.”
