What will your clients think? That is the real question. Also examine
your idea in terms of how it affects your wages or gross income.
Windows is not going away. Linux is on the rise.
Removing a single pesky bad guy takes 30 minutes or so. If you let
your guard down on any o/s, it is only a matter of WHEN you'll get
bit.
Anyone who works alone much of the time needs virtual support. If you
think a particular o/s is "easy," I can put you in touch with a
long-time user (high level), who can give you a good estimate of the
time you'll spend on maintenance issues.
Every system needs periodic care. Here is my technical writing tie-in:
