This article will explain in detail what the role of linux is for you. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you for reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

Linux is a free-to-use and free-spread Unix-like operating system. It is a multi-user, multi-task, multi-threaded and multi-CPU operating system based on POSIX and UNIX. It runs major UNIX tools, applications, and network protocols. It supports 32 bit and 64 bit hardware. Linux inherits the design idea of Unix with network as the core, and is a multi-user network operating system with stable performance.

To put it simply, basically all the functions you can achieve on a computer with windows can be achieved by Linux, so what's the difference between them? Here just to talk to you about his advantages compared with the windows system?

1.Linux can see the source code, but not windows.

The direct result of this is that the required kernel modules can be tailored and customized in special applications, which is very beneficial to advanced system kernel management optimization and driver development, but also because the code is visible. There is no need to worry about malicious functions or backdoors, which is more beneficial to the use of military and government enterprises. In addition, when there is a serious problem with the system, you can modify the code yourself or a few k of patch can be compiled and then used, while windows you have to wait for Microsoft patches.

2. The Linux command line is powerful and can do anything. Windows also has a command line, but it is an accessory.

The command line is the foundation of Linux, and even if you are not satisfied with some commands, you can modify or make up your own commands. The advantage of the command line is that it can be repeated. If you want to know exactly what the command line is, you can visit the old boy education. If you want to tell someone how to do something, just send it to a command line, and if you want to do something you've done before, just call up the historical command record and execute it again. A lot of things that need to be done on a regular basis are scripted and set a crontab timing, and then it's done. It also ensures that you use the same command line and do the same thing.

3. Open source and highly customizable

The original intention of open source is not for freedom but for customization. AT&T UNIX has always been copyrighted, but the source code is still available so that users can modify it as needed. Most of the software and systems appreciated by the Linux community follow the same rules-they should be able to adapt to different environments of different users, easily change their behavior, and easily integrate with different environments. Instead of assuming that others have the same needs as yours, give them the freedom to customize the system.

4. Decentralization

Decentralized software development also destines the interface and form of the system to be inconsistent-because everyone likes to invent the wheel. And everyone's wheel is more or less more suitable for themselves and their community, not everyone, and in the Linux environment, no one can force everyone to use their own wheels (except Kernel developers, but in fact, many distro also have patch for kernel), so instead of developing a practice, Linux allows users to choose their way of life.

You will see that there are a large number of distro in the Linux ecological environment, and different distro has different init methods, different package managers and installation strategies; everyone is used to using different VCS, different shell, different editor, which is the embodiment of the philosophy of more choice.

5. Linux is based on the network and was born on the network.

If you connect to SSH remotely, you can easily control the Linux server thousands of miles away. As long as you have the corresponding permissions, it is almost the same as sitting in front of a physical machine. Even if the network speed is very bad, only some encrypted characters are actually being transmitted, requiring very little bandwidth.

After reading these, you should have a new understanding of Linux and Windows, so when you use the operating system as a developer rather than a consumer, you will like Linux more, and today's Linux operation and maintenance is also a more popular career. If you want to make some progress in server operation and maintenance, it is good to choose Linux.

About the role of linux to share here, I hope that the above content can be of some help to you, can learn more knowledge. If you think the article is good, you can share it for more people to see.
