Everyone should know that Windows, Linux and MacOS are several operating systems. They have their own advantages and disadvantages. For example, in specialized fields such as games, Windows is of course better than Linux, but Linux is open source, and its security and stability are better than Linux. Windows is better. If it is about video editing, then MacOS may be a better system choice. Which operating system to use depends on individual needs. We often compare Linux with Windows, and rarely compare Linux with MacOS. Speaking of which, both Linux and MacOS are Unix-like operating systems. , are less support for games and applications. There are quite a lot of differences. Take the employment direction as an example. If you want to be engaged in development, operation and maintenance engineers, and system management in the future, it is best to learn Linux. If you want to engage in video editing, graphic design, etc., it is best to learn Linux. Good to learn MacOS system. Of course, considering from my actual experience, I personally recommend Linux. Let’s analyze it in detail below, which can be used as a reference.
The first is price. The Linux system is free. You can buy a cheap computer and install the Linux system yourself, but the price of a computer with MacOS system installed is generally more expensive. Most people use computers to browse some files, write some documents, download pictures, videos, make reports, etc. General computers are enough. Of course, if you say that I am not short of money, a few hundred dollars is nothing to me, then I also Don't say anything, the final decision is still yours. Anyway, I am not a rich man, so I will choose Linux.
Hardware support. There are many platforms supported by Linux. You don’t have to worry about the configuration of your computer when using the Linux system, because it doesn’t choose the configuration, and the performance will not affect the operation of Linux. Even if your computer is very old, you can still choose a suitable Linux distribution. version and run smoothly. But the MacOS system is not good. It supports fewer hardware platforms than Linux. MacOS is generally a system dedicated to Apple computers, and most of them are matched with Apple devices. It is possible, and even if it is possible, it still requires professional skills, and there will be many problems, which are difficult for ordinary people to solve.
safety aspect. Both Linux and MacOS are more secure than Windows, but Linux is relatively more secure than both. There are many malicious advertisements and software in the MacOS system, and the number is increasing day by day. According to investigations, some browsers will maliciously hijack software. Of course, all systems are not absolutely safe, and Linux is no exception, but Linux distributions will be updated in time to make up for some loopholes in the system. The event of malicious hijacking software by the server.
Customizability. Customizability means that you can experience customization according to your own needs. Because Linux is open source, if there is a need, you can modify the code yourself to create an operating system that suits you. Of course, this is an improvement based on your own professional knowledge, and you can’t modify it randomly. If you don’t like a certain desktop environment, you can also modify it. It is impossible to change and expand these MacOS systems. In addition, there are many distribution versions of Linux, and each distribution version has different characteristics. You can choose a distribution version according to your own needs and preferences. Isn't it great?
open source. One of the important advantages of Linux is open source. Open source code allows users to check whether there are viruses in the source code, which is more secure, and users can see bugs in the code in a timely manner and solve problems that arise. If open source, the risk will also increase. Reduced, some closed-source software will stop maintenance, which will cause losses. And MacOS cannot view the source code, even if your technical knowledge is hard enough.
reliability. Why do most servers use the Linux operating system? Because it is reliable, it is recognized in the industry that the stability of Linux servers is much higher than that of Windows. We will hear such voices: Windows servers suddenly crash after running for a long time. However, there is no sound about Linux running for a long time and crashing. This kind of situation is almost impossible for Linux, which is determined by the structure of the system design. Linux gives users more control, the code is open, and more people research it. If bugs are discovered in time and corrected in time, the security will be higher. On MacOS, you can't fully control it. Of course, the purpose of this is to make the operation easier and improve the user experience.
To sum up, is Linux better? Personally, I prefer Linux. I have been learning Linux continuously in the past few years, and I have been deeply involved in it. If you are also interested in Linux, don't hesitate any longer, and act now. If you haven't touched it before, you can read "This is how Linux should be learned" . This is an introductory book on Linux. This book can be used as a reference for people who have entered Linux.
