This article mainly introduces why to install Linux, has a certain reference value, interested friends can refer to, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, the following let the editor take you to understand it.

Reason 1-Linux is free and free

In the Linux ecosystem, "free, free (free)" has two meanings: 1) free use (Free as in freedom) and 2) free use (Free as in beer).

* means that you are free to use Linux for whatever you want, such as for personal or commercial use.

The second meaning indicates the fact that most (99%) Linux distributions (or different styles of Linux) can be downloaded and run on most computers for free.

Commercial distributions are often applied to enterprise environments to obtain technical support from subsequent companies. Red Hat's famous Red Hat Enterprise Linux is such an example.

Reason 2-Linux can bring old equipment back to life

Yes, you read it right. If you have an old computer that is already covered with dust because it can no longer meet the hardware requirements of other operating systems, Linux can help you save it. In my experience, my computer (a high school graduation gift from my mother at the end of 2000) has been running as a home server for five years-using a stable version of Debian.

Reason 3-Linux is a tool for learning how computers work

Even for beginners, it is relatively easy to access and interact with computer hardware. With command-line tools such as dmesg (listing relevant information from the kernel) and a little patience, you can easily understand what happens from pressing the power switch to loading a fully available system. Of course, this is just one example.

Reason 4-Linux is a tool for learning programming

I always say, if only I had known Linux earlier. Once the system is installed, it has the necessary tools to start learning Python programming. As one of today's object-oriented programming languages, Python is a computer science major in many universities.

Reason 5-A lot of free world software

Of course, I know this is somewhat similar to reason 1, but I decided to make it an independent reason. What for? Because it highlights the fact that most of the software we use today comes from the efforts of a large number of volunteers.

Yes, the people who write these excellent software don't earn a penny from it. In some cases, some companies provide funding for the development and maintenance of software.

The Linux system is quite stable, so they all want to run their software in it. This is why many companies are willing to contribute a lot to the Linux ecosystem.

Thank you for reading this article carefully. I hope the article "Why install Linux" shared by the editor will be helpful to everyone. At the same time, I also hope that you will support and pay attention to the industry information channel. More related knowledge is waiting for you to learn!
