Re: [orca-list] Ubuntu VS. Windows

[Vojtěch šmiro <vsmiro seznam cz>]

Hello.

I use Linux since 2015 August.

I caught some virus to Windows 7. I reinstalled it with my seeing sister 
and it was fine for half an hour. During upgrades, it failed and I had 
to reinstall again. I was really angry and wanted to broke my computer 
and drop it from closed window, but my friend Libor gave me Ubuntu 
14.04. Now, I use Vinux 5.1, or Accessible coconut and I am comfortable 
with it. No viruses, no system crashing. That's my oppinion. But it's 
correct, some people wants applications, which are inaccessible in 
Linux. I use Linux only and use it only.

Best regards

Vojta.
