3. The difference between the two
(1). The cost of use is different.
Linux is an open source project, so it is free for programmers to use,
while Windows is a system that needs to be purchased. The latest genuine Windows system is currently priced at 888 yuan.
(2). Suitable for different objects.
Linux is suitable for enterprise server system architecture, while Windows is suitable for public use.
(3). With different operating styles,
Windows is for the masses, so the operation is more in line with the operating habits of ordinary people, and most of them are operated through the interface.
In many cases, Linux needs to be operated through the command line.
(4). Different supported software
Windows has more users, so the software supporting Windows has advantages over Linux in terms of quantity and quality.
The Linux platform is only maintained by developers and lacks a large amount of financial support, so the quantity and quality of software are relatively lacking.
(5). File format is different.
Windows operating system kernel is NT, while Linux is shell.
(6). Different security
Windows systems often become the target of hackers and viruses, so it is necessary to install some security protection software to protect the security of the computer.
Compared with Windows, Linux is much safer. Using Linux does not need to install additional security software.
(7). Customizability.
Most of the operating ranges of Windows have been restricted by Microsoft, so basically the user can only operate according to the rules of how the system is set up.
Linux provides higher customization, it supports developers to define their own operating system through coding.
(8). Program portability Different
Windows programs have poor portability, and programs are basically incompatible with Linux.
However, Linux programs have good portability, not only can be ported between different Linux, but also can be ported to Windows.
