What are the five features that Windows 9 should steal from Linux? in response to this question, this article introduces in detail the corresponding analysis and solutions, hoping to help more partners who want to solve this problem to find a simpler and easier way.

Microsoft will hold a press conference on September 30th, and the long-rumored Window 9 is expected to meet with us. According to previously leaked screenshots, Windows 9 will add new features such as notification center and fix some confusion caused by the Windows 8 dual interface.

To some extent, windows 9 seems to borrow some elements of Linux (Ubuntu), but in fact it can be more thorough. Although Linux is not the mainstream consumer operating system, many bright spots are worth learning. If Microsoft wants Windows 9 to be more successful, you can learn from the following five parts of Linux:

1. A desktop app store

The big change in Windows 8 is the integration of the Metro interface and the addition of the Metro App Store. The confusion for users is that the content downloaded from the app store can only be used in the Metro interface, while all kinds of EXE applications still need to be downloaded in the old way on the traditional desktop, which will confuse many users.

Linux integrates with Package Manager, or Desktop App Store, where you can find any application. So now that Microsoft offers the Metro App Store, why not add a traditional desktop App Store to enhance the software download experience? In fact, most Windows 8 users still use traditional desktops rather than the limited Metro.

two。 More convenient form of software update

On Linux, you can not only download the official version of Linux software, but also add sources through the software repository to receive updates directly from software developers. In other words, this is a holistic platform that gets updates directly from the software vendor's server, and there is no need to run an application's upgrade and update program separately.

3. The function of "always at the top"

This sounds like a trivial feature, but it is very helpful to enhance the operational experience. Linux adds a "always at the top" feature to any software, and as long as you right-click the software, you will see the option, which can easily display the current application at the front end.

4. Web application integration

Lao Shi said that most Windows users still prefer to use traditional downloadable desktop software rather than Metro apps, but we can't ignore the growing popularity of Web apps, such as Outlook.com or web-based Weibo. Ubuntu is aware of this and can easily place Web applications on the desktop and taskbar to display notification content for a more lightweight experience. Obviously, Microsoft's support for Web applications lags behind, and it is perfectly possible to abandon the inherent idea of "promoting Metro applications". After all, this is an era where experience is king, and forcing users to use some bad services is often counterproductive.

5. Tiled window management interface

Linux's tiled window management interface is very easy to use and can easily display the status of each application window. This is a bit like Windows 8's full-screen Metro interface, except for traditional desktops. If Windows 9 can integrate this feature, it will help improve the operational efficiency of traditional desktops.

This is the answer to the question about what are the five features that Windows 9 should steal from Linux. I hope the above content can be of some help to you. If you still have a lot of doubts to be solved, you can follow the industry information channel for more related knowledge.
