1. Free of charge and charge

The latest genuine Windows 10, you need to pay for it.

Linux is free or a small fee.

two。 Software and support

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

Linux platform: most of them are open source free software, which can be modified, customized and rereleased by users. Due to the lack of financial support, some software quality and experience are lacking; supported by all Linux developers and free software communities around the world.

3. Security.

Windows platform: patching every three days to install system security updates, or Trojans in the virus

Linux platform: it is of course impossible to say that there are no security problems in Linux. Different people have different opinions on this point. Relatively speaking, it is certainly more secure than the Windows platform, and you do not have to pretend to be an antivirus or a drug bully when using Linux.

4. Usage habit

Windows: ordinary users are basically operated under a pure graphical interface, relying on the mouse and keyboard to complete all operations, easy for users to use and easy to get started.

Linux: with both graphical interface operation (you need to use a distribution with a desktop environment) and complete command-line operation, you can only use the keyboard to do everything. Beginners are difficult to get started and need some learning and guidance (which is what we need to do). Once proficient, it is extremely efficient.

Windows: it was completely closed before these years, and the customization of the system is very poor.

Linux: you can do whatever you want. It can do whatever Windows can do, and it can do what Windows can't.

6. Application category

It can be said that most of the software and services in the world are running on Linux.

7. What Windows doesn't have

Stable system

Rapid patching of security and vulnerabilities

Multi-user

Planning for users and user groups

Relatively small system resource footprint

Customizable tailoring and porting to embedded platforms (such as Android devices)

Multiple graphical user interfaces (such as GNOME,KDE) that can be selected

8. What Linux doesn't have

Specific support vendor

Adequate support for game entertainment
