From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No i can’t. There is no powerful processor for word and spreadsheet on Linux libre office is just a shadow of what MS office native software can do…

Libreoffice is way easier to use than the 40 year baggage ridden MS office with its convoluted menus that get worse with each update. I finished university with libreoffice and there were nothing it couldn't do.

No I can’t finding an executable and adding it to startup is HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY easy than to use which , where , locate , find commands

no clue what were you trying to say here

No I can’t cause ripping entire dvd with one go is easy as click and done . I don’t have to “remux” or encode or whatever I just want a dvd to be copied in folder and that’s it.

You literally are able to and you can even use the same windows software that is considered the best for disc ripping - makeMKV. It has native Linux version and does one click ripping.

No I can’t cause Linux is HARD for simpleton like me . It’s not useful for simple tasks listed above without touching command line

It's not any harder or simpler, it's just you already are familiar with Windows.
