Linux or Windows - Which is it?
Computer users and programmers have become so accustomed to
using Windows, even for the changing capabilities and the
appearances of the graphical interface of the versions,
therefore it has remained Microsoft's product. Although,
Lycoris, Red Hat, Mandrake, Suse, Knoppix, Slackware and Lindows
make up some of the different versions of LINUX. These companies
release their own versions of the operating systems with minor
changes, and yet always with the same bottom line. The simple
fact that not one of these companies are close to competing with
Windows, for the most part causes the difference in market share.
It sometimes seems everyone on the planet is using Windows. Many
say Windows is way better than LINUX because of the simple
handling of the software or hardware. There are huge differences
between the number of users of LINUX and Windows. Many say LINUX
is far better because it started as an Open Source software and
thus is more flexible than Windows. Then what accounts for the
enormous difference in market share between these two operating
systems?
Windows and Linux are different in many ways.
1. Windows GUI is an integral component of the OS; speed,
efficiency and reliability, while the Linux GUI is optional, are
increased by running a server instance of Linux without a GUI,
something that server versions of Windows simply can't do. The
nature of the Linux GUI makes remote administration of a Linux
computer easier with a more natural feel than Windows computers.
2. The command prompts of the operating systems are very
different. The command interpreters in the Windows 9x series are
very similar to each other

and the NT class versions of Windows
also have similar command interpreters. There are, however
differences between a Windows 9x command interpreter and one in
an NT class flavor of Windows. Linux, like UNIX, also supports
multiple command interpreters, but it usually uses BASH or
"Bourne Again Shell".
3. While you have to pay hundred's of dollars for a new Windows
version, you can just go download Linux. There's no manuals or
simple installers for the free version. Although there is quite
a learning curve when utilizing the free package. There are some
easy automated packages of Linux for low prices.
Microsoft's "big con" is the supposed security issues with
windows. Most spyware, adware and malicious files programs work
with Windows just fine. In general you do not deal with these
kinds of circumstances unless you are working with Windows.
whereas Linux offers a strong protection, password protection
for Windows can be bypassed with ease.
The software availability is the key to why Windows wins over
Linux in this competition. Most software releases are already
configured for Windows. If you chose to use Linux you must copy
Windows with special software in order to use your windows based
programs. You could always install Windows as a subsystem to
Linux, this would take the administrative capabilities of
Windows and allow them to funtion on Linux.
If Linux is ever to compete with Windows, it must become more
user friendly and provide serious technical support.
