    Is Linux a better option than Windows 10?

    I just installed Linux Mint and Ubuntu Mate yesterday on two separate laptops and I am loving it so far. It was extremely easy. I used a thumb drive, downloaded the 2 OS's from this website to the thumb drive, downloaded UNetbootin from it's website, ran UNetbootin, and then restarted the laptop...

    I am wondering everyone's thoughts on the best Linux distro for a new user that seeks security, anonymity, and ease of use. I am aware that live booting and VM's are a thing, but also want to know what people think for the primary distro. Thank for your input. :)

    I am brand new to Linux.

    I have been wanting to make the switch for years, but honestly, I was one of those ignoramuses that believed Linux would fell more like MS-DOS than windows and it seemed overwhelming. I am by no means ignorant to computer usage in general and have built and fixed/troubleshooted a lot of...
