Windows is one of Microsoft's operating system software developed from MS DOS while Linux is one of the operating system software made by Linus Benedict Torvald, developed from Unix. Both are good operating systems and have been used by many countries. However, the operating system that was created must have its own advantages and disadvantages. So that not everyone makes one operating system a mainstay. What exactly is the operating system. The operating system is a place where the system is processed, of course, its existence affects computer performance. Without a good operating system a computer cannot create, process, and produce data properly. In short, the operating system is the link between hardware and software. Here are the privileges of Linux compared to Windows
1 Restrictions in license
Windows is a commercial operating system. Users must purchase a license from the company that developed it, namely Microsoft. While Linux is a free operating system that anyone can develop
2 Data distribution
Windows collects user data. So that there can be privacy issues for those whose data do not want to be known. While Linux does not collect user data so your privacy remains safe
3 Security concerns
Windows is more prone to incoming viruses because it is not designed for security systems. While Linux is safer from viruses because it is designed for security systems
4 Performance
Windows is less stable, so it can cause blue screens, restart repeatedly, and the system slows down. While Linux is more stable than Windows making it suitable for servers
5 Computer interface
Windows uses a Graphic User Interface system for a single user. Where Windows can only run one program at a time. While Linux uses a multi-user system that can be run on various platforms. Allows it to run multiple programs at one time
6 Installation Process
Windows requires adequate computer specifications. There is no other way but we have to replace the computer to install the operating system. While Linux can run on low computer specifications
7 System update
Windows often requires us to install automatic updates which will definitely take a long time. However, the user is not given any other choice as a better option. While Linux does not require us to perform updates automatically
Linux already has many variants to choose from. For example Ubuntu, Kali Linux, and LinuxMint. Many of them have developed Linux code due to its Open Source nature. You can ask the community in various parts of the world when you have problems in programming. Suitable for developers but not suitable for gamers and businessmen. Where the choice itself depends on the needs of the user
