Larry,
I like linux also. The problem is that we all sit around and say that
Chocolate is best and the next guy says yes but raspberry does the
hoop dance better. That's all true, but nobody but the geeks really
care. The rest of the world sees it as Windoes or Apple. Choose one of
the big two. Buy the system and take it home. It works.
But if do I choose linux I still have twenty decisions to make. And
that's before I figure out how to install the bugger. I will admit it's
getting better. But you can't take a disk and install it with worrying
that something will raise it's head from the swamp.
If the process is as interesting as the end result, Linux is the system
for you. Otherwise, until you can go to BigBox and buy a Linux system
and a couple of applications, it ain't gonna play.
Can I get off my soapbox now and go back to processing pictures?

I'll be the token linux-weenie and suggest ditching windows and

virus that targets linux, it's quite a bit more difficult.
Another option is to run your browser in a VMWare virtual machine, so
you don't care if it gets hacked. If it does, you just restart the VM.
