Linux or windows?

I've tried using Linux but unless you are very compitent with computers i wouldn't recommend it. I know you are given a lot more freedom with Linux in that you have access to everything unlike Windows which stops you from altering certain things about it but overall Windows is much easier to use and probably better laid out. For us common non computer scientist people anyway

depends on whether u have to pay for the operating system or not..... as per usage i believe windows would be a better choice..... if the cost is a factor then linux is much better.... in terms of stability then both of them are good in their own terms....
