    7 methods Linux can reduce your technical cost – and expand the life of your equipment

    Elyse betters picaro / zdnet

    In the last few decades, I have seen that many people spend huge amounts of money for running their computer or speed with modern technology. I have noticed that friends have made their computer personal to get rid of malware to support experts (they spend more money than liking) and recently, have been private to face new machines to buy private machines for countless users.

    Too: Best Linux Laptop

    Every time I see or hear such things, the first thing is that they can save money if they migrate in Linux. If you do not believe me, read, because I have a list of reasons why Linux can save you money.

    1. Linux costs nothing

    The cost of the Linux operating system is $ 0.00.

    Too: Slow internet speed on Linux? This 30-second fix makes all differences

    Yes, there are some distribution that provides pro versions (such as Zorino) and include additional features (such as separate desktop layouts), but the vast majority of Linux distribution have nothing to download and install on as many machines. I cannot tell you how many Linux distribution I have used in years and have never spent a penny on the operating system. If you need to reduce your technical expenses, Linux is the right choice.

    2. Open-source software costs nothing

    At the same time, open-source software will not spend you one percent. Yes, there are some applications that have affiliated costs, but they are generally owned. If you are talking about open-source, the fee is zero. And before you think this, you will get Linux software to fill any requirement.

    Too: You can try Linux without digging windows first – how is here

    I would say this, however: If you find a Linux app you need or want and it is not free, consider paying for it as those developers also need to pour food on the table. At its top, this is a good way to give back.

    3. Local cloud installation

    I pay $ 10 per month for additional space on Google Drive. I also have a NextCloud Perinogen on my local LAN, which I can use to replace Google Drive. One of these days, this is going to happen, especially when Google bows more and more in artificial intelligence. I am not completely opposing AI, but I definitely do not want to launch my digital hand on what I have written.

    Too: All time my favorite Linux distribution, rank

    For me, the best option for this is Next Cloud. Not only is it easy to install NextCloud, but it also has all the features that you are required for local cloud storage options.

    4. Low security issues

    Ever since I have been using Linux, I have only one problem with safety, and he was on a server installation that I had taken that it was poorly configured. Also, I did not have a single issue. Linux is far more secure than the operating system you are used, so you do not have to worry about paying for anti-malware, antivirus software or third-party firewall.

    Too: Do you need antivirus on Linux?

    You install Linux, and you are good to go, so migrate from Windows 10 and enjoy security.

    5. Community support

    Have you ever had to pay for Windows support? Have you ever had to spend a technician remote in your machine to call someone or solve a problem?

    Too: 7 things should be known before downloading every Linux beginner before downloading your first distro

    One of the good things about Linux is that a huge community is available to help you solve these issues. Forum, group, mailing lists, websites, and more … all are ready to help your operating system with whatever problem.

    6. low maintenance

    Talking about support, you will be happy to hear one thing that Linux is a very low maintenance operating system. Once installed, the possibility of having a problem is thin. I have gone years without a single problem on Linux, and does not take an experienced user to experience such reliability. You can be told at some point that it is difficult to use and maintain Linux, but it is not just true.

    7. Revives the old hardware

    If you have an old PC, it is one – one that windows will no longer run – install Linux on it to give it a new life. You can install Linux on a desktop PC or laptop. There are lots of Linux distribution that can revive an aging computer, such as Bodhi Linux.

    Too: The desktop market in Linux is more than 6%? Yes, you read it right – how is here

    So many distribution will work surprisingly on those old PCs and laptops that will save you money because you will not have to upgrade the latest hardware to support the latest version of Windows.
