Depends entirely on what it's used for, for the average user and especially a gamer, not really it's just the being free.

[BenestoTech]

Not really, its can be good for programming and some things, and it is good to run on low-power systems, like most versions of Linux. Other than that id just go windows.

It's very lightweight, meaning that it will run on lighter hardware than Windows usually will.

It's open souce and highly customizable.

But the main advantage is that it's free.

Pros of linux in general

 

-More Stable

-More Secure

-More Modular/Configurable

-More Efficient

 

Cons

-Harder to use (getting close to windows with ubuntu and mint though)

-Lack of Commercial Software

 

It is just a better OS than Windows,the problem is that due to lack of users there is not as much of support for drivers and programs compared to windows, but it is getting better

Thats the reason it is lacking on the desktop but dominates in the Server market

 

Personally for me because of these reasons

 

My primary Desktop OS is Windows

My primary Server OS is Linux

If you are just looking for lightweight option for general use, Mint would be even better. But if you aim to do gaming with either Wine or Steam, Ubuntu has less issues.
