In an Armory tutorial on youtube Andy said he useing ubuntu. But not much into why he did it. When searching Im most finding installation problems. Perhaps I can do a better search. But how come its better to use it when even if the computer is cold?
A cold windows computer should be that secure as ubuntu?

I think the two main ideas behind this are:
#1 Linux is safer than windows and I want safe coins.
#2 Linux is hard, gimme the easiest Linux with a lot of support.

But as you pointed out for a proper airgapped system this is no issue. But why bother with windows when you can have a free (open source, no license for private use) system?

Thanks for reply! I will take a look into ubuntu, thats for sure!

Because it was installed on the computer I bought. And because I havn't used ubuntu before. That shouldn't be any big problem, but it's one of my reasons
