Linux software is "open source" which means it's legal and free and does not contain malware. For most windows software there is a Linux equivalent. If a person wants to download windows software on a Linux system they would need a windows emulator program like Wine. Even then, Wine does not run all windows programs. I, in no way, an encouraging Ben321 to download illegal or pirated software with Linux or any other operating system. I was merely pointing out that Linux is a more secure operating system than Windows.
