Efficiency

Linux is a boon for system with Lower configuration.If your PC can’t cope up with the latest version of Windows i.e Windows 7, then you should try the latest version of Ubuntu. That is because Linux is efficient and will run faster on old hardware when compared to Windows.

Free Pre-loaded Applications

Most of the Linux distributions are pre-loaded with essential applications that are also free such as Open office, GIMP(Image Editor), DVD-ripper, and more. So that means you can keep your savings intact. You can also fire up your software or package manager anytime and get more free applications that you want. I’ve been using Linux for past 3 years, and not having to worry about paying for software is priceless.

Basically, I hope you are interested to try Open Source stuff whether its Linux or even Open Office

I personally recommend  Ubuntu
