Windows is a like a > car, it will take you a lot farther. No, Linux is like a sports car, while Windows is like the family Buick. When the Buick breaks, you have no idea what's wrong and have to take it to a dealer because the engine computer is sealed shut and undocumented. But it's easy to drive and maintain, if you can afford it. The sports car is lean and fast and easy to fix, if you're willing to figure out the service manual. All parts of the engine, including the computer, are completely open and you *can* figure out what's wrong. And you can bolt on an off-road kit, in case you want to go somewhere the Buick is incapable of.
