What is Linux ?? #
Linux is an open source, free operating system with a large user base and active development community. It is not only widely used in the server field, but also increasingly favored by individual users. More than 98% of programs that run in a Windows environment can be used in Linux.
All in all, Linux is a powerful, flexible, and secure open source operating system that provides many advantages such as freedom, stability, resource efficiency, and a rich software ecosystem.
Why use Linux and not windows?? #
1. Free and open: Linux is completely open source, which means you can freely view, modify and redistribute its source code. This makes Linux very flexible and customizable, allowing you to adjust system settings to suit your needs, install your favorite applications, and even develop your own software.
2. Security and stability: Linux has strong security mechanisms and mature community support, so it performs well in terms of security. At the same time, the core code of the Linux system has been strictly reviewed, and bug fixes are faster, making the system more stable and reliable.
3. High resource efficiency: The Linux system takes up less resources and can make full use of hardware performance, especially in server environments. Linux is a good choice for users with lower-end computers or those who require high-performance computing.
4. Rich software ecosystem: Linux has a huge software library, providing a variety of applications and tools to meet the needs of different users. Moreover, the open source community continues to develop new software, enriching the Linux software ecosystem.
5. Community support: Linux has a global active community, and users can seek help, share experiences and participate in project development online at any time. This huge community provides continuous technical support and development momentum for Linux.
6. Gamming :
- If you current use windows, you may have had the experience of formatting your computer yourself because it was infetcted with a virus or slowed down.
The reason is that various programs, such as background programs running on Windows, consume a lot of computer energy in Windows and easily slow down. In Linux, background services that cannot be deleted in Windows can be managed by additionally deleting them on their own.
I use Windows and Linux, but primary Desktop is Linux.windows screen is the same every time. There are a lot of errors. the functions are mixed together and it makes my head spin. Of course, Linux is complicated when you first start. However, the longer i train with linux, the more Linux, as promised, accepts my input, expresses it easily,and rewards me. And it is a big lie that Linux users do not use Windows.Linux users can use both windows and linux. But they choose Linux operation system to increase their learning ability.
You can develop the power of self-study. Self-education is a very important skill in life and one of the ways to survive.
