After infecting my laptop with some bit of malware yet again (10yrs ago) I said "thats it" and downloaded a copy of linux mint. At the time I burned it to a cd and booted it without changing my current winblowz system. It was a bit slower running from the cd but I got a feel of how it worked and loooked. Without changing the computer. You can also burn a copy to a flash drive now days. Just boot to usb.

I decided to dual boot my system and installed a copy of mint side by side with windows. Mint was far superior in most ways and a bit lacking in others. The free version of office was a bit different and clunky. The photo editing gimp program was a learning curve. I was able to continue using thunderbird for email so that was a win.

BUT

On my 8yr old laptop linux mint screamed! It booted in 8 seconds (compared to windows 7 near 1 minute boot time). I could surf to any porn site and NOT get infected. I could open mail and not get infected. Infact I dont even have an antivirus on my system and have not for 10yrs with not a single infection or issue!

I really like the speed on linux. There are many different versions of linux like Ubuntu, Debian, etc. I chose mint because it looked like windows and made the conversion easier.

There is a site called distrowatch that you can view each version. You can also go to each linux website and view screenshots. If you want to try it just down load a iso of the version you want and use a usb boot loader to install a bootable copy to the flash drive. Then boot your computer with it plugged in. You might have to change the bios settings if it doesnt detect.

I use the cinnamon desktop.
