Linux is very similar to Unix, except it is used more often as a personal OS, and has several GUI interfaces to it. However, I doubt many of your games or office apps will work on it. It will be even more of a pain finding video codecs or even playing DVDs on a Linux system.

For personal use, I suggest you stick with windows. If it is unstable, I bet its being strangled by spyware and viruses and worms.

If that is really your problem, let me know and I can tell you how to fix it.

a lot of what youve just said is simply not true. "unix" has become a generic term to describe a "flavor" or type of operating system. linux is a unix-like OS. some may disagree, but for all practical usages linux is unix.

most gui interfaces for linux, are also available on several other unix operating systems.

about the video codecs, go to the mplayer website, or the xine website. pick which one you like best, and install it from source. thats all. simple. and they will both play whatever video file you throw at them.

GXINE(1)						      General Commands Manual							  GXINE(1)

NAME
gxine - a GTK/GNOME frontend to the xine video player SYNOPSIS
gxine [options] [files or MRLs] DESCRIPTION
gxine plays MPEG system (audio and video) streams, MPEG elementary streams (e.g. .mp3, .mpa or .mpv files), MPEG transport streams, AVI files, ASF files, Quicktime files, (S)VCDs and DVDs - anything which xine-lib can handle. Typical usage looks like gxine some.mpg gxine -f dvd:// gxine dvd://home/user/dvd/my.iso Some directories and file names are not treated as ordinary files. They are: DVD A directory containing a DVD filesystem structure; or a UDF filesystem image, identified by file name ("*.iso"). VCD A cue file, identified by file name. You can override this by using file://full/path/to/file. OPTIONS
-A audio_driver --audio audio_driver Select which libxine audio driver to use. This setting is not permanent, but it does prevent selection of other drivers via the preferences window. -V video_driver --video video_driver Select which libxine video driver to use. This setting is not permanent, but it does prevent selection of other drivers via the preferences window. -S --no-splash Don't show the splash window during startup. -a --add Don't clear the playlist before adding any MRLs; start playing the first new MRL. -e --enqueue Don't clear the playlist before adding any MRLs; don't start playing the first new MRL. -f --full-screen Start in full-screen mode. -c Javascript --command Javascript Javascript command(s) to be executed immediately after starting up. -C KEY=VALUE --configure KEY=VALUE Set configuration item KEY to VALUE, e.g. "-c gui.window_size=100%". -v --verbose Verbose mode: output information about plugins, the video stream, commands executed etc. Repeat for more verbosity. FEATURES
There are a couple of features which aren't immediately obvious: in full-screen mode, you can right-click to get access to the menus, or middle-click to show or hide the player controls. SEE ALSO
