Anybody know whats the difference between Linux and Windows and if you'd recommend getting it?

I heard somewhere its not all that compatible with a lot of games, so meh.

Should I get it?

If you have any specific questions, ask them here and I'll try to answer them as best as I can/direct you to where you can find an answer.

Linux is much easier to get into if you have a spare comp or a low-spec comp you can throw together out of spare parts... If you're trying to do a 1-sweep OS replacement, it's not gonna work.
