My brother just bought a new computer two months ago and now he’s having a lot of trouble with it. He thinks that most of the issue is Norton Antivirus.
I’ve suggested to him that he either invest in one like what I run (Kaspersky) or that he search for quality open-source options. Since the latter is free, he would prefer that.
(I’m asking this question for him since he can’t access the internet.)
Anyway, what is a good open source antivirus program?
From my understanding there are several operating systems that run on the Linux platform. Which is the best one?
(I know a lot about computers but Linux is not my area of expertise. I am planning on a getting a new computer and possibly dual booting if I get some info about Linux.)
I am new to linux. I want to construct a new computer that will operate linux. Should I only choose hardware (like a TV tuner card or a sound card) for which there are already linux drivers or are there always workarounds for getting every piece of hardware working on linux even if there are no drivers? Are these workarounds easy to implement or will I spend a lot of time and effort trying to get the hardware to work?
