Computer Geeks Unite!
Okay, so, I have this older computer that seems to have become unstable. She resets randomly, sometimes after hours of problem free operation, sometimes in quick succession. Since some of my tax info is on her and I don't want whatever is going on to ruin anything before tax time, I've moved over to using an old laptop for my web browsing and writing.
Inspired by a plurk by wendiigo, I pulled up a page on Linux. It claims Linux is super stable, never cheats at poker, etc. And it looks very clean. So, some questions.
1)Assuming the resetting issue with my puter is from viruses (which I had a month or so ago) or the like, or general system instability due to errors in some line of code, would Linux fix my problem?
2)Would it wipe my harddrive when switching over?
3)Why are you pro or anti-Linux?
