1. Open Source
When you buy a car, but you can not see the hood Here's what? When you use the Windows system drive is the case. However, in contrast, Linux is a completely open source project. You can look at the source code for the Linux operating system, which is an advantage. Linux is open free to the public! However, Windows is not the case! You do not pay dollar to get a true copy of Linux distributions. So, it is completely free.
2. Safety
Let's face it, Windows operating systems are vulnerable to different types of attacks. However, Linux will not like Windows as fragile. Of course, it certainly is not perfect, but it is relatively more secure Windows. When you install Windows, you need to download or purchase antivirus program to protect your computer against hackers and malicious software. However, Linux does not require the use of such anti-virus program. Of course, there are still some software tools that can help you avoid the system under threat, but when you have a Linux system is usually not necessary. Due to security in nature, you can more easily save you money, because you do not have to buy high-quality anti-virus software!
3. Hardware Configuration
With the development of the operating system, the hardware requirements are also growing exponentially. For example, if you buy genuine software Windows 10, you must meet the minimum hardware requirements to successfully run the software, and you can not run the software on any low-end systems. Nevertheless, the use of Linux, you can even use your oldest computer to complete the task. However, this does not mean that every Linux distribution can use 256 MB of RAM and an outdated processor. Therefore, an efficient operating system, Linux distributions can be applied to a range of systems (low-end or high-end). In contrast, Windows operating system has a higher hardware requirements. In general, even if you compare the high-end Linux systems with high-end Windows systems, Linux distributions will dominate. Well, this is like most global server running on Linux rather than a cause running Windows hosting environment.
4. suitable for programmers
Linux supports almost all major programming languages (Python, C / C ++, Java, Perl, Ruby, etc.). In addition, it provides a number of useful programming application. Linux Terminal Window command over the use of the developer of the line. In addition, the package manager pointed out that many programmers on Linux can help them easily complete the task. Interestingly, the ability to bash script is also one reason why programmers prefer to use the Linux operating system is the most convincing.
5. Better community support
You do not need to hire an expert to solve the problems you face on a Linux system. You just need to search the web for clues to get similar solutions, or to allow others to publish clues to solve the problem. You can buy "linux in respect of such a study" books to learn Linux, you can also post a topic in any Linux forum, you might get an answer and a detailed solution that can ultimately help you solve the problem for free! There are many active Linux user is ready to solve related ideas responses may create problems. The number of users on these community forums active exceeds the number of active members of the forum on any Windows-centric.
6. Reliability
As we know, Windows slow day after day. After some time, when you encounter a system crash or slow down, you will need to reinstall Windows. If you are using Linux, you do not have to worry about re-install it, just to experience faster and smoother system. Linux can help your system run for a long time and, for Windows, you will have to adapt to the habits that continue to reboot the system to meet all requirements.
- If you just installed the software, start again!
- If you have recently uninstalled the software, start again!
- If you have just installed Windows updates, please start again!
- If the system seems to slow down, reboot!
However, for Linux, you do not have to restart the above circumstances. You can continue to work comfortably, Linux will not bother you.
Another fact prove Linux is reliable Web server. You can observe that most Internet giants such as Google and Facebook are running on Linux. Even if almost all of the super computers are running on Linux.
7. Privacy
Of course, Microsoft is trying to anonymous data collected from each user. However, Microsoft's latest Windows 10 and no convincing argument. It has received a lot of criticism about how it collects data, what should be collected and what should be collected.
If you've ever used Windows 10, you can only enter the privacy settings to learn all the features enabled by default. Even if you choose to send Microsoft information about your data, it is still in the collection. Of course, Microsoft does not officially disclose it at the press conference, but it is true. Therefore, you need a set of tools to disable Windows spy modules.
In contrast, Linux will be the perfect solution for privacy lovers. First of all, Linux distributions do not collect too much data (or not collected). Moreover
