			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some months ago, i wrote an article &#8220;<a href="http://www.techbirdy.com/2009/09/16/3-reasons-why-we-shouldnt-use-linux/" target="_blank">3 Reasons why we shouldn&#8217;t use Linux</a>&#8220;, after a lot of comments on the article in the favor of Linux, I thought i should also try Linux. So i downloaded Fedora 13. Then i made fedora 13 Live USB and boot my computer from USB, after boot fedora logo came and then system went on Standby. I thought that Linux was loading Files so i waited a long. After 10 to 15 minutes of wait, nothing happened, my system was on Standby, when i pressed power button, system turned off. I thought that was Fedora fault, then i downloaded Ubuntu 10.04, but i faced the same problem with Ubuntu.</p>
<p><span id="more-639"></span>I searched a lot on Google, then i found that it was because of Low Graphic Card and Linux Requires Higher Graphic Card. Only High Graphic Cards can Support Linux Frame Buffer, and if someone using Low Graphic Card then he/she will have to disable Linux Frame Buffer. Without Linux Frame Buffer the Graphics are not good, you cannot use high resolution i.e. only available resolution is 640&#215;480.</p>
<p>Linux says &#8220;Linux is for everyone&#8221;, if Linux is for everyone so why Linux isn&#8217;t supporting My GX270 machine with 2.80 GHz and 1 GB DDR RAM? Windows XP, Vista and even Windows 7 works fine on my machine. New Linux is only for those peoples who has higher configuration Computers.</p>
<p>So isn&#8217;t it better to switch to Windows, because Windows is for everyone, even for Old Computers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After doing some research on Linux finally i have concluded on 3 reasons why we shouldn&#8217;t use Linux.</p>
<p><strong>1) Companies running on donations</strong><br />
The companies which are making Linux Distributions are running on donation.For Example if all the peoples started using Linux Will this increase the income of companies which are making Linux? off course not because their income depends on donations instead of sale of their OS.But If more and more Peoples use windows then off course the income of Microsoft will increase and they will hire more experienced engineers and will make windows more easier.<br />
<span id="more-112"></span></p>
<p><strong>2) Too many distributions, will they survive?</strong><br />
This is a very important question.As i have already mentioned that all the companies which are making Linux are running on donations.If they receive limited donation it will be very difficult for the companies to keep status of these distributions alive.<br />
So why to have a risk that will you receive updates or not for your OS&#8217;s in future.Try a paid OS today and omit this tension from your mind.</p>
<p><strong>3) Difficult to understand</strong><br />
If you compare Linux with any other OS like Windows or Mac OS you will find that Linux is too much difficult than other OS&#8217;s.For 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.</p>
