What are the benefits/drawbacks of using this vs. actually running Windows 95 or XP?

I'm assuming the PC will be mostly used for "educational software" (games), which you would want to run on XP. What benefit is there to running Fedora?

Fedora is a modern Linux desktop distribution with active development and support for modern softwares. While using an old OS such as Windows XP is a huge security risk, with very minimal possibilities of running modern softwares. Even major browsers like Firefox and Chrome won't run on XP anymore.
