Linux, Windows are operating systems, but compared to Linux, Windows is more commonly used by more people, do not do too much introduction, and Linux although the usage rate is not very high, but also has a very important role, then Linux and Windows in the end what is the difference? Let's take a look at it together with Xiaobian.

Linux is an operating system that mainly runs on the inetel architecture, not only has all the characteristics of Unix system, Linux features include true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand loading, shared write-time copy program execution, excellent memory management and TCP/IP network support.

First, the characteristics are different: Windows 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;Linux applicability is strong, the Linux system of the microcomputer can also be transplanted to the mainframe computer to run.

Second, the approach is different: each specific function of the windows system may require commercial software support, and the corresponding license needs to be purchased; most of the software in the linux system is freely available, and there are fewer software options for the same function.

Third, usage habits: The average Windows user basically relies on graphical interface operation, mouse and keyboard to meet all requirements, and it is easy to use. However, Linux has both a graphical interface and a complete command line operation, so it is relatively difficult to get started. It needs to be learned before using it. After proficiency, the efficiency will be improved.

Fourth, the application area: Many applications that people access on Windows every day, and the background that supports these software runs are thousands of Linux servers, which are always busy with data processing and computing.

Fifth, software and support: Windows has advantages in quantity and quality, but most of them are paid software; Microsoft provides technical support and services; Linux is mainly open source software, users can modify custom and release, because there is no financial support for free, some software quality may be lacking.
