This article mainly introduces "the advantages and disadvantages of Linux and the difference between Linux and windows". In daily operation, I believe many people have doubts about the advantages and disadvantages of Linux and the difference between windows. Xiaobian consulted all kinds of materials and sorted out simple and easy-to-use operation methods. I hope it will be helpful to answer the doubts about "the advantages and disadvantages of Linux and the difference between Linux and windows". Next, please follow the editor to study!

I. the characteristics of Linux

① is compatible with unix system

② free software and open source code

③ has high performance and strong security.

④ facilitates customization and redevelopment

⑤ has high interoperability

⑥ 's comprehensive multitasking and true 32-bit operating system

II. Characteristics of win system

Intuitive, efficient object-oriented graphical user interface, easy to learn and use, Windows user interface and development environment are object-oriented, this mode of operation simulates the behavior of the real world, easy to understand, learn and use.

III. The difference between Linux and win

1. Free and charge

In China, windows and linux are free, at least for individual users. If domestic windows really cracked down on piracy that day, it would be spring for linux! But now linux still has a long way to go and a long way to go.

However, some people say that if linux is free, domestic windows can also be said to be "free", and few users pay for windows, so linux has no price advantage. The question of the difference in payment is that the benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom!

2. Software and support

Windows platform: advantages of quantity and quality, but mostly paid software; important support and services provided by Microsoft officials

Linux platform: mostly open source free software, users can modify, customize and re-release, because there is no financial support for basic free, part of the software quality and experience is poor; there are all Linux developers and free software communities around the world to provide support.

3. Security

Windows platform: three days two patches to install system security updates, or will be in the virus Trojan horse and so on, you users feel.

Linux platform: to say that linux does not have security problems, of course, it is impossible, will not be infected with the virus, and impossible, this point of opinion, relatively speaking, it is more secure than the Windows platform, you do not need to install antivirus software to use linux.

4. Open source

Open source means opening up the source code of software to the outside world. The legitimate intellectual property rights and assets rights and interests of an independent business group are openly encroached upon and persecuted by political powers. this is the open source problem faced by Microsoft in Europe (as to whether Microsoft is a profiteer, this is another matter.) Software manufacturers have the right to choose whether to open source or not; whether to buy and use this product is the right of users.

But for the benefit of open source free, there is also a hidden danger: if something goes wrong, it is not as good as the customer service of the commercial system. A large number of non-technical people dare not make such a bet.

In fact, think deeply, if linux is not open source, can it still have the current market? Because a lot of people use linux for open source.

5. Usage habits

The same place: desktop, icon, mouse click, is there a difference? What's different is that windows abandons dos's character mode and focuses on the graphical interface, making desktop systems easier to use. Linux character mode works better, and the graphical interface is still an add-on and optional. According to their launch time, it can only be said that linux picked up what windows threw away and carried it forward.

But in practice, I have heard most of my colleagues in software testing complain that the interface of linux is extremely ugly and has few functions. The most common complaint is its input method.

6. Technical support

If you are not familiar with or have never touched a computer:

Learn windows: anyone around you who has been on the Internet can give you two instructions. Learn linux: ha ha, self-study is a bit difficult, read books or watch a series of videos.

If you are familiar with computers and surfing the Internet, there is no difference between Windows and Linux. There are all kinds of resources on the Internet for you to check, but it is much easier to find someone who repairs windows computers than to find someone who repairs linux computers! The truth!

7. Important differences between linux and windows

① linux is case sensitive, while windows is not case sensitive under dos interface commands.

All contents of ② linux are saved as files, including hardware and users, while windows files have nothing to do with hardware, and there is no correlation between the two.

③ windows distinguishes files with extensions such as .exe for executive files, .txt for text files, and linux does not have the concept of extension. Of course, for the convenience of administrators, there will be some extensions such as .gz, .bz2, .tar.bz2 for compressed files and .html,php for web files. These are purely for administrators to distinguish, but linux itself does not have an extension. Linux distinguishes files by permissions. There are a total of ten file permissions (you can use ls-l to view the permissions of each file). For example, the first bit of-rw-r-r-, represents the permission bit of the file, and there are seven file types under linux:

-represent ordinary documents

D stands for catalog file

L stands for linked file

B stands for block device file

S stands for socket file

P stands for pipeline file

C stands for character device file

Each of the next three represents the permissions of the owner, the group to which they belong, and others.

The .exe file under ④ windows can not be installed and run directly under linux. At the same time, most of the linux is a character interface, which greatly increases the security of the linux system and reduces the possibility of Trojan attacks. At the same time, the system resources occupied by the linux character interface are less than those occupied by the graphical interface under windows.

IV. Summary:

Linux is something that can be packaged and configured freely. Any person or company can make a Linux according to their own ideas, such as adding a little function and Chinese support. Although the core parts of these Linux are all the same, the default configuration of all kinds of software they bring is different.

The difference is that using one Linux release (different Linux we call different releases) maybe the hardware is easy to configure, all kinds of software is easy to install, another may be fast, and another may support Chinese.

At this point, the study of "the advantages and disadvantages of Linux and the difference between windows and windows" is over. I hope to be able to solve your doubts. The collocation of theory and practice can better help you learn, go and try it!
