I installed Open Suse Linux on my notebook , sony vaio . I used OpenSuse Harlequin i586 version 13.2 . Instead of using windows operating systems, i am prefer using Linux or Unix OS. Because there so much alternative Operating System offered and it's all free and not easily affected by computer virus or bugs. And a friend of mine using windows operating system and browser such as internet explorer and others such as chrome, mozilla, opera under windows operating system , there is problem with pop ads in browser , and it is really annoying and make the PC running slowly. Although, I have download ad blocker for mozilla, but it still not works, cause the annoying ads still come up.
and compare to linux, there is not such these problems.
although linux using open source software, there are many windows os software that can run in linux open suse with Wine software. Wine software can make software based on windows os run in linux os.
