This article introduces the relevant knowledge of "what are the differences between the development of DOS and Linux in recent years". In the operation of actual cases, many people will encounter such a dilemma, so let the editor lead you to learn how to deal with these situations. I hope you can read it carefully and be able to achieve something!

You've all heard of the Linux operating system. Linux was born in the early 1990s, became famous in the late 1990s and began to be used in practice by many people. The famous "open source" movement makes new Linux programs appear continuously, which makes Linux get further development, especially in the server field.

What about the DOS that people use or like? I don't know how many people think that DOS is out of date or that no one has released new software for it. This is obviously a lack of understanding of the development of DOS. In fact, the "open source movement" is a movement by programmers to design new software that exposes their own code to non-Windows operating systems (including DOS and Linux, etc.). Therefore, in this movement, a large number of new software from DOS and Linux are emerging, and the quality is very high, and the development community is constantly growing. However, compared with foreign countries, the promotion of new DOS software in China is far less active than abroad, and the promotion of domestic Linux software seems to be much more active than abroad. Many people say that the era of DOS has passed, the correct statement should be that the old era of DOS has passed, and now in the new era of DOS, there are not only a large number of loyal fans constantly writing new practical programs for DOS, but also continue to develop with the "open source" movement and other movements together with the current Linux. So why don't a lot of people know? The webmaster said on the front page of his website: "We (refer to domestic netizens) generally have a low level of E-language, and generally the information about the state of computers comes from the news media. maybe some people think that things related to DOS will no longer bring benefits. DOS has faded out of the sight of these people and some media, making many people think that DOS is out of date." This is probably the main reason why domestic DOS is not very popular.

In fact, compared with Linux, DOS is not inferior in terms of software quantity, user base and function. Linux has almost all the functions DOS has (of course, compared with the software launched in recent years), and DOS has many functions that Linux does not have. DOS and Linux are both open, and everyone is free to develop their software. The number of DOS software is quite large, at least hundreds of thousands (for example, there are more than 40, 000 DOS viruses), far more than the number of Linux software. With the development of Linux and the support of its fans, the status of Windows has been challenged, but in fact, Linux is more suitable for high-end servers than desktops. On the contrary, DOS is the most suitable for individual users, not only low requirements, strong practicality, and its overall function is not worse than Linux. In terms of size, the Linux is frighteningly large. For example, a Red Hat Linux installation disk has four CDs (including some drivers and applications, of course). Therefore, the main reason why the development of DOS lags behind Linux in recent years is that there is not enough publicity. Therefore, if people realize this, the situation will naturally be greatly improved. Nowadays, many people use DOS as an accessory and learning collection of Windows, rather than actually using DOS as an actual use of Linux. Because of this mentality, many people are unwilling to develop new DOS software, and DOS, which should be in the era of positive development, appears to be more and more backward. What a pity it is!

So let's develop DOS together and make DOS strong.
