Deciding between a Windows system and a GNU/Linux system.
Now I know that someone is going to be confused already, just by the title of the article. This is ok with me if you get confused by this since if you are confused already I already know what you are most likely using. This topic was interesting since I am used to both systems (I prefer Linux) and it was entertaining how uneducated some people are about lesser used operating systems.
The first article I read was the lowest rated, which got there for a reason. It had almost nothing I could find in the article that had to do with comparing/contrasting the two systems, also what little there was as far as information was not very well put together or accurate. This article made the assumption that you need to have decent programming skills to use Linux, this is not true. Using Linux you will have to use the Terminal (equivalent to Windows command prompt) but there are guides online for this part of Linux.
The next article I read was ranked about the middle. It was decent writing, but didn't show much interest on the topic. The information given was good and accurate, from my experience at least. It has reference to the limits of what Linux can do but also it hints at ways around these boundaries. Finally the top article had the best presentation of information, and also seemed the most unbiased on the topic. The writer knew the topic and even had a list for why to stay with Windows or move to Linux that was accurate in the reasons given.
