Today, I will talk to you about the advantages and disadvantages of the linux system, which may not be well understood by many people. In order to make you understand better, the editor has summarized the following contents for you. I hope you can gain something according to this article.

Advantages:

1. A large number of available and free software

There are a large number of available software on Linux system, and most of them are free, such as Apache, Samba, PHP, MySQL and so on. The low construction cost is one of the reasons why Linux is favored by many enterprises. Of course, this is inseparable from the excellent performance of Linux, otherwise, there is no point in cost savings.

But it is undeniable that Linux in office applications and games and entertainment software compared to the Windows system is still very scarce, so, even if playing games, watching movies also use Windows, as for Linux, use it in the server field that you are good at.

2. Good portability and flexibility

Linux system has good portability, it supports almost all CPU platforms, which makes it easy to tailor and customize. We can put Linux in U disk, CD and other storage media, and it can also be widely used in embedded field.

If readers want to experience the Linux system without installation, they can download a Live DVD version of Linux image on the Internet, carve it into a CD drive or load the image file directly with virtual machine software, set CMOS/BIOS to CD boot, and the system will automatically load the CD file and boot into the Linux system.

3. Excellent stability and safety

Eric EricS.Raymond, a famous hacker, has a famous saying: "enough eyes will make all problems emerge." For example, if the author is giving a speech and there is a sea of people on the stage, Brother Ming has a careless lunch at noon and a few grains of rice are glued to his collar, which will be discovered by everyone every minute, because there are too many people watching; if there are two or three people scattered and far away from the stage, even if there is a large oil stain on brother Ming's collar, it will not be found.

Linux open source code, put all the code online, programmers around the world can see, there are any defects and vulnerabilities, will soon be found, thus achieving its stability and security notes.

4. Support almost all network protocols and development languages

Often beginners ask me if Linux does not support the TCP/IP protocol well or whether the Java development environment is not working properly.

UNIX system is developed with C language and TCP/IP protocol, and Linux is a kind of UNIX. C language has derived the mainstream languages such as PHP, Java, C++ and so on. Which network protocol has nothing to do with TCP/IP? Therefore, Linux supports network protocols and development languages very well.

There are many advantages of Linux are not listed here, only to illustrate these points for readers' reference.

Disadvantages:

Desktop applications need to be improved, Linux standards need to be promoted, and the profit model and development of open source software need to be tested.

After reading the above, do you have any further understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of linux system? If you want to know more knowledge or related content, please follow the industry information channel, thank you for your support.
