Benefits of Linux

Benefits, upsides and advantages to Linux.

Safety and security
On Linux malware infections are almost unheard of. (In fact, if you hear of any, tell us.) That means no viruses, no worms, no backdoors, no trojan horses, no spyware, no adware and no ransomware, ever. You don't even need an antivirus, spyware removal tool or firewall. Linux is really that secure. This also means you'll never have to pay for an antivirus, spyware removal tool, or to have malware removed from your computer or "cleaned".
