But Ubuntu is now trying to get popular softwares ported to Ubuntu. However, some popular softwares like Adobe suite, Dreamweaver, Photoshop are not available on Ubuntu, due to which, thousands of web developers and designers choose Windows over Ubuntu.

6) Gaming option

As Ubuntu is not made for gaming but still it has many games but it cannot beat the Windows when it comes to gaming. Games which are of high graphics and area consumers are built for Windows only as it is best suited. So i recommend the gamers the Windows is best for them.

7) Costs

Windows systems ranges from(Rs. 5,000 to Rs.50,000) depending on the version you want to buy.

But Ubuntu is fully free of cost, you can download it from their official site.

8) Third party software installation

When it comes to installation of software, it has not more than 2 steps required. But in Windows while installation of a third party software it has some problem of its own like: it says(you have no Internet connection) or(trouble in installation). And is very complicated to install them and one problem with Ubuntu is with Internet connection which every user face.

9) Video/audio

When it comes to media Windows has a default Windows media player which allows you to play your tracks. But it doesn’t allow you the codecs as now days videos required codecs to play them. But Ubuntu allow you to download the codecs easily in its default media player(Movie player). But the most preferred is VLC media player.
