Pros:
- It's faster then Windows and uses less memory.
- It's got cutting edge 3D desktop effect capabilities (with a far lower requirement then Vista)
- It's virus-proof.
- It's (relatively) easy to use.
- It detects most computer hardware automagically.
- It has a large user base, and help can be found all over the Internet.
- With codecs installed, it can play (almost) any media files, and it already plays my anime files better than Windows (sharper, faster).
- OpenOffice is a robust MS Office alternative (the PowerPoint alternative needs a little more work though).
- It's much more stable then Windows XP.
- It's much more secure then Windows XP.
- It's completely customizable.
- It's completely FREE.
- You won't have a guilty conscience from using a pirated copy of Windows.
Cons:
- It's not Windows.
- It requires some computer knowledge to maintain (or at least it requires somebody else who does).
- It doesn't play H.264 coded video.
- It doesn't come with multimedia codecs installed as standard.
- It requires a fast Internet connection to install programs from.
- It can only run a few Windows games and there's only a small number of Linux compatible games out there.
- Any computer hardware that it doesn't automatically detect is going to require you to tinker manually with the configuration files.
- Your local computer repair shop might not be familiar with it.
