<h2><center><u><i>What is a good use case for Linux?</i></u></center></h2>
<br><br><br>
<p>The main use cases for Linux is to bring new life into older computers. Old computers, especially ones from the late 2000's and early 2010's are great candidates for a new, light operating system. Many of those computers use 64-bit processors that are still more than capable of surfing the web, watching videos, and doing word processing or spreadsheets. If you have an older laptop or desktop sitting around, try installing Linux on it. Often times the reason computers start to feel slow as they age is the added bloat that occurs on a Windows installation. Linux is also a great choice if you frequently are coding. VS Code as well as its open-source fork, VS Codium, are natively supported on Linux. You can also use VIM, Neovim, or EMACS (which I am currently using to make this website).</p>

<h2><center><u><i>Does Linux have all my software?</i></u></center></h2>
<br><br><br>
<p>Linux has a lot of popular software natively supported such as Discord, Firefox, VLC, Zoom, and Steam. Linux also has a plethora of open source software that can accomplish many tasks. Gnote is a great note taking application. There are also music players like audacious. Linux does <b><u>not</u></b> support Microsoft office products natively. Libreoffice is a great alternative that is open-source and free to use without any account. The MS office suite can also still be used through a browser. Linux differs from Windows when installing software. Software is downloaded and installed from a repository. Each distro has an app store that allows for one click installation and removal of software. </p>

<p>I personally have been using Linux on the laptop I use for college for over a year. I have been able to take notes with Gnote and Libreoffice Write, log into Canvas through Firefox, use Libreoffice Calc for spreadsheets, and join Zoom calls all through Linux(Pop! OS). </p>

<h2><center><u><i>Intro to Linux</i></u></center></h2>

<p>Linux is an open-source kernel which is the basis of an operating system. Open-source allows for anyone to look at and modify the source code of the project. This allows full transparency and more creative freedom to contributers and users. Linux is free from spyware, bloat, or advertisements. </p>

<p>Linux is distriubted in complete operating systems called distributions (distros). Each distro is slightly different but they all use the same basis in the Linux kernel. Most software preinstalled on Linux is also open-source which makes the experience of using a linux system much more customizable and transparent than the propriatary nature of Windows and Windows software. </p>

<p>↑How to install Linux Mint in a virtual machine.↑</p>
<p>Virtual machine = a virtual computer separate from the computer you are using. Runs in a window like an application but is self contained and doesn't have access to the rest of your computer. This is helpful if you want to try out Linux and you don't have a separate computer to install it on. </p>
