TO advance STEM via Linux what is STEM ,Science,Technology,Engeering and Maths .

Having a Linux Distro is by far the best thing since slice bread one who is into science,technology and development windows is totally a waste of time for me ,Linux is not cake and cheese but you have to learn and build your system what you want ,if you have windows base software you want to install on your Linux box of course use wine and for the games use playonlinux .

To clean the box use bleachbit ,Linux has so much to offer ,why cry of windows that is absolutely  dead 

For starters try Linux Lite  https://www.linuxliteos.com/  or LinuxMint   http://www.linuxmint.com/   people have to free their mind from windows mental slavery and look to the future Linux
