Why the forget would I use a "not an emulator" to run the stuff that I could just run natively? Yeah, I'd love to sacrifice additional performance AND even gain some additional bugs while running my applications. Smart idea. There's literally no benefit to any flavour of Linux over Windows, aside from the purported "freedom" you gain, which is relatively zero benefit to the average user, or even most power users. Windows even has more features out of the box. The only benefit Linux has is that it's free, but you get exactly what you pay for. |
