What OS Should You Use for Your Msecore Mini-PC?

Ever since the early days of home computing there has been a rivalry in the home computing world: the Windows users against the Linux ones. Both groups claimed that their operating system was ideal and wouldn’t change it for the world. As the years went by, some people started shifting from one to another as the advantages of the alternative could no longer be ignored. Right now, contrary to what some people still believe, Linux has come to dominate the computing world, with some variant of it being used on most smartphones and other mobile devices, on web servers, and supercomputers. Even the machines that make up the Cloud usually run on some Linux distribution. But what about Msecore Mini-PCs? Could it be that thing are different there?

Msecore Mini-PCs are a great technology that aspires to replace the already half-obsolete desktop computer, making use of laptop technology and a sleek design that spells out “future” like nothing else in the computing world today. Since most of the Msecore Mini-PCs are built in the same way as desktops, they are fully customizable and don’t rely on firmware or any other specialized software often found in laptops (with some of this software being shady, at best). Msecore Mini-PCs are ultra customizable and when under the umbrella of a brand, offer some versatility when it comes to the OS they use. So, since it is possible to get a Msecore Mini-PC with whatever OS you wish, would it make sense to consider alternatives beyond the default one?

Most Msecore Mini-PCs come with a Windows OS, mainly due to convenience. The majority of PC users make use of this particular OS as it offers some undeniable advantages. For example, there is a huge selection of programs to choose from, and if you are so inclined, you can create your own applications as well. Also, it is the default choice of businesses (probably due to the bang for the buck factor) so if you want to work on these projects for your job at home, you need to have a compatible OS to avoid compatibility mishaps. Moreover, this OS is very user-friendly and plenty of documentation that even new users can comprehend without too much effort. Finally, Windows has a huge community of intelligent users who go beyond the surface and dig deep in the OS, so if you have a problem, there are plenty of power users that can give you a tip, instead of going to some shop to consult so-called geniuses at a premium price.

Although Windows is by far the most established OS in some settings, it may not convince everyone that it’s the best solution out there. People on the other group of the PC user world advocate that Linux has become as user-friendly as the Windows OS, while it offers some additional advantages. For example, there are far fewer viruses, all of the available software is easily accessible and free (like the OS itself), and a computer running Linux doesn’t need to be restarted every now and then. Of course, the Linux OS is not perfect, as it’s still a work in progress with many passionate developers building patches for it constantly, but it’s getting there. Also, the fact that releases come about every few months, makes this OS a very agile solution, while the ever-growing user community makes tackling any issues manageable. However, Linux still hasn’t managed to penetrate the business world as much (even though there are lots of companies that use Linux in their engineering dept.), making it still an exotic alternative to the eyes of most PC users.

So, at the end of the day it all boils down to two things: how much of a power user you are and what you are willing to put into it. If you are not afraid of the command prompt (i.e. typing commands instead of just clicking on icons) and have an understanding of the inner workings of your machine, then Linux is a better choice. As for what you are willing to put into your OS, if you are more inclined to spend money rather than time, then Windows is more suitable for you. And if you are indecisive, you can use both operating systems for a while, through a dual-boot setting.

Whatever OS you decide to go for, TechnologyPoint has got you covered.
