Before using Linux, I think everyone should first contact with Windows, but generally after contacting Linux, when looking back to use Windows is very rejected, most people have this reason in the end why?
Linux is a very magical system, there are many worthy of us, we need to explore the place, for the server operation and maintenance people, when choosing the operating system for the server, it is confusing to choose Linux or Windows? Of course, when you become a serious Linux enthusiast, you will find that you can’t get enough of Linux!
From the perspective of user group, Linux is a developer-centered operating system, while Windows is a consumer-centered operating system, which is also the fundamental difference between the two operating systems. Simply put, the choice between the two systems depends on whether you use them as a developer or as a consumer.
Windows, Linux, Apple and even Unix, the ancestor of operating systems, were originally written in C language.
So why do so many people choose to learn Linux? Let’s take a look at the many advantages of Linux:
When it comes to Linux’s advantages, the first is its open source; Anyone can look at the source code, and Windows is not open source, so you have to patch it often, fix bugs and so on.
Second, Linux security is very high, vulnerability repair fast;
Third, rich software support; Different from other operating systems, common office software, graphics processing tools, multimedia player software, and network tools do not need to be installed after Linux is installed. For program developers, Linux is a very good operating platform, in the Linux software package, including a variety of program languages and development tools, such as GCC, cc, C++, Tcl/Tk, Perl, Fortran77 and so on.
Fourth, multi-task, multi-user; Like the Unix system, the Linux system is a true multi-user, multi-task operating system. Multiple users can own and use system resources without affecting each other, while multiple users can use the computer system online. Multitasking is one of the most important features of modern computers. Because Linux schedules each process with equal rights, it can execute multiple programs simultaneously, and each program runs independently of the other. You can plan different levels of users on Linux hosts, and each user can log in to the system in a different environment. In addition, you can also allow different users to log in to the host at the same time to use the host’s resources! Fifth, relatively few system resources: this is the most eye-catching place, at present, any personal computer on the market can use Linux to build a host that serves more than a hundred people.
After reading this article, you should have a new understanding of Linux and Windows, so you will prefer Linux when you think of the operating system as a developer rather than a consumer, and Linux operation and maintenance has become a popular career today. If you want to develop in the operation and maintenance of your server, Linux is still a good choice.
