It has apps.

Even the best operating system (such as AmigaDOS back in its days) is useless without a good selection of application programs. It is natural for Linux to have a good selection of server programs, such as Apache, mySQL, Squid, Samba and etc. However, most people don't know that Linux also has a good selection of programs that are useful to end-users.

Huh?

Linux has a free office suite that is mostly compatible with Microsoft Office products. It also has project management programs, PIM (personal information manager) programs, browsers, photo processing programs, sound processing programs and etc. If this is not enough, it also has simple CAD programs, games and multimedia programs. We'll do a quick review of these programs shortly.
