“So why to have a risk that will you receive updates or not for your OS’s in future.Try a paid OS today and omit this tension from your mind.”
For what OS’s how far into the future? Support and updates are dropped from commercial operating systems eventually, fella.

Virtually every distribution existence does not require installing from source, and installing from source usually consists of unpacking the source code, entering the directory and running:
./configure
make
make install

1. Use a distribution with a good selection of packages in their repositories.
2. If typing ./configure, make, make install is too difficult for you how are you using even Windows?

“Example If you want to install a software in Windows or Mac OS you can do this by running a simple installer but if you want to install a software in Linux you will have to install it from a source.”
What the **** are you talking about?

Something else: Did you know how much the linux kernel development cost?

A LOT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel#Estimated_cost_to_redevelop
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/publications/estimatinglinux.pdf
http://linux.slashdot.org/story/10/02/24/155214/The-Billion-Dollar-Kernel

The KDE desktop environment looks as good and even better than Windows 7 or mac osx and it’s free. How much was the development?

The KDE desktop environment cost: “US$175,364,716. This estimation doesn’t include Qt, KOffice, Amarok, Digikam, and other applications that are not part of KDE core.”

1. vista
2 there is decent security in linux
3 the interface can easily be changed to fit different use cases (for instance; pc for grandma)
4 patches get pushed out much faster
5 software that runs on one distro will run on another distro as well so there is less lock-in on the OS level
6 Interoperability
7 less hassle about licensing (this is about FLOS in general)
8 better code review
