Hello to everyone! I am new to bioinformatics and I have a question. The first thing that was suggested to do from several tutorials in order to do bioinformatics was to install a linux distro to work on and use the bash terminal. I installed ubuntu and I also installed pycharm for python. Then I realized that Pycharm also offers a bash terminal. My question is why I need to install linux rather than just install Pycharm in a windows machine and run the analyses on the terminal offered by pycharm. I am new to the field, so I hope my question makes sense.
I got your point and seems very reasonable! Thanks a lot Mensur for your help!
