People who are familiar with computers all know that Linux has many advantages over Windows, so now more and more computer users begin to use Linux for office and learning. Generally speaking, the advantages of Linux mainly include the following aspects.

First, open source, free

As we all know, both Microsoft's Windows and Apple's macOS need to be paid for, and they are relatively expensive. (not to mention the issue of piracy here) while Linux is free and open source, we can get its source code at any time and customize it according to our different needs, which is very important for users, especially program developers.

Second, cross-platform hardware support

Because most of the kernel of Linux is written in C language and adopts portable Unix standard API, it supports system platforms such as i386, Alpha, AMD and Sparc, as well as a variety of hardware devices from personal computers to mainframes, and even embedded systems.

Third, rich software support

Different from other operating systems, after installing the Linux system, some office software, graphics processing tools, multimedia playing software and network tools commonly used by users do not need to be installed. For program developers, Linux is a good operating platform, in the Linux software package, contains a variety of programming languages and development tools, such as gcc, cc, C++, Tcl/Tk, Perl, Fortran77 and so on.

IV. Multi-user and multi-task

As a Unix-like system, Linux, like Unix, is a real multi-user and multi-task operating system. Multiple users can own and use system resources, that is, each user has specific permissions on their own resources (such as files, devices) and do not affect each other. At the same time, multiple users can use the computer system online at the same time. Multitasking is one of the most important features of modern computers. Because the Linux system schedules each process with equal access to the processor, it can execute multiple programs at the same time, and each program runs independently of each other.

Fifth, reliable security

Linux system is an operating system with innate virus immunity and is rarely attacked by viruses.

For an open system, it is not only convenient for users, but also likely to have security risks. However, the use of Linux's own firewall, intrusion detection and security authentication and other tools, timely repair of the system loopholes, can greatly improve the security of the Linux system, so that hackers have no opportunity. At the same time, because of its open source, Linux has produced a variety of different versions, which also makes it more difficult to be attacked.

Good stability

The source code of the Linux kernel is optimized by a standard 32-bit (64-bit on 64-bit CPU) computer to ensure the stability of its system. It is precisely because of the stability of Linux that some hosts that install Linux remain open all the year round like Unix machines without downtime.

VII. Perfect network function

Linux has built-in a wealth of free web server software, database and web development tools, such as Apache, Sendmail, VSFtp, SSH, MySQL, PHP and JSP. In recent years, more and more enterprises have seen these powerful functions of Linux, using Linux as an omni-directional network server.
