In what way is Linux security more secure than Windows security?
* Most Linux operators are more familiar with the inner workings of their systems than most Windows users, so they are usually more capable of setting up their machines securely. * Many Windows "features" require execute and other priviledges on the machine. This means that, by default, Windows security is set up to be looser. These priviledges can be taken advantage of by people with malicious intentions against users that have not made adequate security adjustements on their machines. * Most "hackers" want to get the most bang for their effort. Since Windows is used on far more computers than Linux, they focus their efforts on creating hacks or viruses that effect Windows systems.

What are the benefits of using the Ubuntu OS compared to Windows?
There are many benefits of Ubuntu or other Linux operating systems, but some of the main ones are listed here:It's FreeExcluding Red Hat, most Linux distributions are open-source and are free to use and distribute. In addition, Ubuntu has a variety of free software alternatives to paid software; e.g. LibreOffice ($0) instead of Microsoft Office ($120 or more).It's FastUbuntu requires much less from your system compared to Windows, allowing even old computers running Linux to be as fast as new ones running Windows. Already have a fast computer? Even better.It's SafeLinux distributions, while still susceptible, are much more secure from viruses and malware than Windows, partially because there are much less viruses made for Ubuntu than there are for Windows, and also because of requiring the administrator to enter the root password before allowing anything that can potentially cause harm to the computer to run. Also, the security prevents inexperienced users from destabilizing crucial parts of the system.It's CoolThere are many neat features that Ubuntu has that Windows still lack, one of them being the Virtual Desktops feature. This allows you to have the equivalent of four separate monitors running in on, which means no more cluttered windows all over the desktop. Compiz also allow you to add cool effects to the desktop.It's EasyDespite common assumptions, using Ubuntu can be just as easy as using Windows. Right up from the installation process, a user-friendly window guides you through the steps of setting up your computer. Installing software is made easier, too by packages and the Ubuntu Software Center. This allows you to to download and install the software and all the stuff it needs to run in one click, instead of trying to hunt down a specific pre-required software on the Internet.
