Don't save as a compressed-ass jpeg. JPEGs are evil and should be destroyed. Save as a PNG, noob!

I love PNG. PNG's are great, especially for screenshots of Windows and applications.
For photos and screenshots of games, JPEG is often better.

I use Windows XP Professional with SP2.
Used to run Slackware Linux but that disk crashed, still have ZipSlack on the disk and Ubuntu Linux on a LiveCD.

Because I'm seriously thinking WinXP is the last Microsoft operating system I ever intend to use I'd like to know if Linux is as easy to use as Windows, or at the least somewhat similar to Windows?

Edit: The reason's I want to eventually switch is because Windows is laden with non-stop security issues and bugs. And since there's a plethora of open source Linux applications available.

Everything has security issues and bugs. Believe it or not, a recent report said Windows is more secure than *nix.
