Most of this has already been said in various posts in this thread, but here it is in an article from ComputerWorld, http://www.computerworld.com/article/3163627/linux/if-you-want-privacy-you-need-to-run-linux.html

I mentioned WINE a few posts back and since then WINE has announced the release of WINE 2.0. The following review caught my attention as comments made by the author show just how much the Linux desktop has improved in recent years. The entire review can be fround at: http://www.networkworld.com/article/3161896/linux/wine-20-brings-ms-office-2013-compatibility-to-linux.html

It occurred to me that new Linux users should be aware their commercial ms-software applications are not "just going to run" on Linux. LibreOffice is a good replacement for ms-office and, yes, it can read ms-office formats and save in the same formats.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice There is a company by the name of CodeWeavers who make a commerical product (a version of the open source project called, WINE) that will run some ms-windows applications on Linux as if they are native Linux applciations. Codeweavers, https://www.codeweavers.com/home2?utm_expid=4394146-41.AOyR1YX1TZ6ux5zmSNHIxA.1&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fduckduckgo.com%2F WINE, https://www.winehq.org/ If absolutely necessary or if you just want to experiment, you can run ms-windows or other operating systems in a virtual machine on your Linux desktop or Linux on your ms-windows desktop. I've had the best luck with VirtualBox, https://www.virtualbox.org/ If you are going to use Linux you should be prepared to dump some of your ms-windows only applications and look for open source Linux equivalents. The price is right and, whether someone chooses to believe it or not, many of these open source projects are just as good, if not better, than their commerical counterparts. Here is a partial list (which needs to be updated): http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Linux_software_equivalent_to_Windows_software

The only anti-virus software I've ran on Linux is ClamAV. I've read of commerical anti-virus products for Linux, but have never ran one as I haven't had the need. ClamAV, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clam_AntiVirus On occasion I also run a rootkit hunter, but have never found one, to date. RKhunter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rkhunter Everynow and then someone will bring me a hard drive they think is infected. I'll hook it up to my Linux box and run ClamAV on both my drives and the "infected" drive. ClamAV has never found a virus or malware on my Linux drives, but it always, without fail, to date, found one or two or more infections on the ms-windows drives. There are several things you can do to make your Linux box even more secure and you will discover those along the way. Probably the most important, IMHO, is if you are not going to remotely log on to your computer, disable SSH. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell Some Linux distribution let you choose whether or not to enable the SSH module during the installation. BTW, "module" is Unix speak for "driver." Some distributions have taken the approach of disabling the SSH module by default and will ask if you want it "turned on." As I said, there are a series of things you can do, and I do a few, but a simple firewall and a firewall in your router, should be sufficient protection. OTOH, if some hacker is bound and determined........... Again, OTOH, with the right security tweaks you should be able to make your computer almost impossible for some hacker cruising the Internet to find and/or why bang their head against the wall trying to hack a secure system when there are plenty of ms-windows machines out there. Oh, and, yes, you should be able to setup your proxy server.

Slackware64 Linux is on my desktop. It depends on what you want to do with your computer, but unless you have a windows based application for which there is no Linux equivalent (which is getting rare), there is no need to use ms-windows. OTOH, I have heard of web sites that will only work with ms-windows browsers, but there are ways around that. There are literally hundreds of Linux distributions, some made for general use and some for specific utilization. Distrowatch.com a good place to start your research, https://distrowatch.com/ At the top of the page is a link to a bit of history about the more popular Linux distributions, https://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=major Once you get your "feet wet" and have questions, Linuxquestions.org is a good source of intormation, https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ The MAC operating system is very much based on FreeBSD and other open source projects and is a remote cousin of Linux. What we know as BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) and was developed at the University of California, at Bekeley (CAL). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Software_Distribution Linux was developed by Linus Torvalds a, then, 19 years old college student at the University of Helsinki, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Torvalds Linux, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux Mr. Torvalds is now a U.S. Citizen and lives in the Portland, Oregon area. There are several reasons there are more viruses and malware written for ms-windows. One, ms-windows is the largest target and the sick, twisted minds that write vriuses, etc., want the largest possible audience (read, pool of victims). Also, ms-windows was, originally, meant to be a single standalone operating system (running on top of DOS or NT) and security wasn't much of a consideration, that is, it was an easy target. BSD and Linux, OTOH, were written from the very start with network security in mind. For beginners, Linux Mint, is very popular, especially among former ms-windows users. https://linuxmint.com/ There are several desktop environments for Linux and the *BSDs, but, again, among former windows users, the KDE desktop is very popular, https://www.kde.org/ I'm not a big fan of the latest KDE, what they calll Plasma 5, or what others call KDE-5, but you can't beat it for the number and variety of applications that come with it. I bounce between Xfce and KDE-4, but still use several KDE applications while using the Xfce desktop. During the holiday season (or anytime you wish) you can run XSnow on Xfce. It puts "trees" on the desktop, falling snow that accumulates on the desktop, and every once in a while, Santa and Rudolph fly by. :) XSnow won't run on the newer versions of KDE. BTW, to make it even more confusing :) there are also "window mangers" that are not "desktop environments," but that is another converstion best had after someone has become a Linux user and has a little experience under their belt. That is not to say Linux is difficult. Distributions like Linux Mint are as easy, if not easier, to install and run than ms-windows. I can install Slackware Linux in less time than ms-windows, but, OTOH, Slackware is for those who don't mind learning something new and are willing to roll up their sleeves and get under the hood (bonnet for the cousins). :) BTW, Dell sells both desktops and laptops with Ubuntu Linux installed. In a recent article a Dell excutive refused to state how many have been sold, but he did say it has been a very successful project and the sales of their Linux based computers are into the tens of millions of Dollars. http://pilot.search.dell.com/Linux

J.K. Simmons? Obviously, I have no idea who that might be. :)

There are two movie with the the title, "Whiplash". One was released in 1948 and the other in 2014.
