Windows is easier (EXCEPT Win10). Windows crashes. A lot. Often requiring an OS reinstall. Meaning a reinstall of EVERY SINGLE PROGRAM YOU HAVE (after Win98, b/c 95 and 98 let you reinstall Windows and all your installed programs remained--after 98 the registry was wiped making you have to reinstall every thing you had). Linux is harder. Linux has never crashed on me. Most Linus distros ship with many programs that you use in Windows already (e.g.- LibreOffice, VLC Media Player, et. al.). There is a learning curve. Also with WINE (WINE Is Not an Emulator), many (not ALL) Windows programs CAN run in Linux. It's not perfect, but nothing is. But, LINUX NEVER CRASHES! So, for the Windows games that don't play nice with Linus even using WINE or DOSBOX, I got a Linux version of VMWarePlayer installed and ran WinXP. I needed to increase my swapfile in Linux and also my pagefile ("virtual memory" (pagefile.sys)) in XP. Now, everything just works. Only took me 3 years to finally get it right. SO, if it won't run right in Linux, I open VMWare Player and play the Windows XP machine, and install and run it there, and it just works. Um, for the programs I have tried so far. $sudo swapoff -a $sudo swapon --show $sudo fallocate -l 4G /swapfile $sudo chmod 600 /swapfile $sudo mkswap /swapfile $sudo swapon /swapfile $sudo swapon --show $free -h $echo '/swapfile none swap sw 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab That's what i did per SOURCE: https://www.fosslinux.com/1064/how-to-create-or-add-a-swap-partition-in-ubuntu-and-linux-mint.htmhttps://www.fosslinux.com/1064/how-to-create-or-add-a-swap-partition-in-ubuntu-and-linux-mint.htm
