Linux is an open source and free operating system developed by Linus Torvalds in 1991, since then Linux has been steadily growing popular. If you are not a powerful computer user, then you would prefer to use the Windows operating system over Linux because its graphic user interface is quite easy. While Windows provides a graphical user interface, Linux is based on the command line interface. But when you look at it from the perspective of a programmer, then you will like the Linux operating system because its features, security and community support are much better than windows.
Open source
Linux is an open source operating system in its entirety. This means you can see the source code of the Linux operating system, modify it and update it.
Price
If you have to use Windows operating system, then you will have to buy Windows and also you have to buy Anti-virus for its security. On the other hand, Linux is a free operating system that you can easily download from the Internet. The Linux operating system is the most powerful and free, so what else can be better than this.
Security
When you install Windows in your computer, you also have to install antivirus to protect your computer from hackers and malware. While there is no need to install any type of anti-virus in the Linux operating system. The Linux operating system is so popular because of its powerful security feature.
Software Updates
Microsoft updates the software of Windows only when there are many problems in it. On the other hand, due to the open source feature in Linux, anyone can update at any time. Linux developers keep an eye on every problem, so that every small problem gets updated. It is of interest to require driver to run applications in windows whereas in Linux the software requires very little driver to run.
Hardware support
If you install an operating system like windows 10 on the old hardware of your computer, then the hardware will not support it. At the same time, the Linux operating system uses RAM and disk memory in a limited amount and provides faster and better performance even on older hardware.
Customization
A major benefit of using the Linux operating system over Windows is that you can change the look of your system whenever you want. Thousands of great themes have been given in Linux, using which you can give a new look to your system.
Reliability
If you use Windows then you must have seen that it gets slower day by day. Within a few months your system starts crashing, then you are forced to reinstall your system. But in Linux, you don't have to worry about this because Linux is much faster and smoother than other operating systems.
Privacy
If you are using Windows 10 then go to your privacy setting, then you will know that everything is by default enable. If you are using Windows, then you have to take care of your privacy. To prevent misuse of your personal data. On the other hand, Linux is absolutely safe in this case. Linux Distribution does not collect any of your personal data, nor do you need any other tools to protect your privacy.
Usage
Normal users prefer to use windows more whereas programmers, banks and big companies use linux. Linux is being used everywhere. From small devices to the largest supercomputers, cars, routers, planes, phones, medical devices, satellites, watches are being used everywhere. While writing the program, Linux developer Linus Torvalds would not have imagined that Linux would achieve so much success.
Community Support
If you are facing any problem in Linux operating system then you do not have to go to any expert. If you are having a problem related to Linux, then go to the Linux Community Form on the Internet, where your problem can be solved within a few minutes. There are many active users of Linux who are always ready to solve your problem.
From the point of view of programmers
The Linux operating system supports all programming languages (C, C ++, Java, Python, perl). There are many libraries in Linux operating system. Linux's package manager makes programming even easier for programmers. Apart from this, Linux also supports SSH, through which programmers can easily manage their servers.
"It can be said clearly that Linux is much better than Windows."
