Most of our systems are the first to come into contact with windows, a lot of people are not very familiar with linux, he said difference between the two windows with liunx, can easily be distinguished from the following:
1. Software and Support
• Windows platforms: the quantity and quality advantages, but most of the billing software; providing important support and services by Microsoft official;
• Linux platform: mostly open source free software, users can modify to customize and re-released, due to the fundamental free no financial support, part of the software quality and lack of experience; there are all global developer of Linux and the free software community to provide support.
2. Security
• Windows platforms: every few days to install security patch update, or will the Trojan virus;
• Linux platform: Linux is not to say that the security problem, of course, is impossible, that eyes of the beholder wise see wisdom, relatively speaking, will certainly be more secure than Windows platforms, using Linux you do not have an antivirus installed, a duba.
3. habits
• Windows: ordinary users are basically pure operational use graphical interface, the mouse and keyboard to rely on the completion of all operations, the user easy to get started Getting started is simple;
• Linux: both the graphical interface operation (requires the use of release with a desktop environment) and full command line operation, you can only use the keyboard to complete all operations, Getting Started more difficult, requires some learning and guidance (which is what we want to do), once a skilled and very efficient.
4. customizability
• Windows: be completely closed, the system can be customized poor years before;
• Linux: how do you want to do on, Windows can do it can get, Windows can not do, it can be.
The scope of application
Perhaps you do not know Linux before, you know, before you use Baidu, Google on Windows, Taobao, when the chat QQ, software and support services, is the background of thousands of Linux server host, they are all the time busy engaged in data processing and arithmetic, we can say that most of the world's software and services are running on top of Linux.
6. Open source
Open source refers to software source code open to the outside.
If a small programmer to write software, there are new technologies his original, he rely on this to make money, and even applied for a patent for this purpose, then certain groups, citing security concerns, asked him to open source (so imitation can be proud.), and preferably free for everyone to use, surrounded by a group of programmers to make money jealous of people are followed by booing.
A legitimate intellectual property rights of independent business groups, public assets and equities suffered encroachment of political power, persecution, which is open source issues faced by Microsoft in Europe (as to whether Microsoft is profiteers, that is another matter, and can not be vandalism on the grounds of eating large).
Open source or not, software vendors have the power of choice; whether to buy the use of this product, this is the right users.
In fact, think a bit deeper, if linux is not open source, it also has the market now do? Because a lot of people is directed at only the use of open source linux is.
