All know that Linux and Windows is an operating system. It's just that,
both of these operating systems have a slight difference. Where difference
between Windows and Linux? Linux is an operating system (open source),
which means the system is free and can be developed by anyone. While Windows is
a closed operating system (commercial), means that if we want to have a Windows
operating system, we must to buy a license from the Microsoft Company.
Because Linux can be developed by many people (open source), so Linux
has many kinds that called ‘distributions’. Linux development is not
done by one person or company but by many people. But in windows the variety is
called a ‘version’, the development of the operating system that is only made
by one company, namely Microsoft.
After found out about
the two operating systems are Linux and Windows, which is where the operating
system is the most superior and attractive? To answer the question, here review
about difference between Windows and Linux.
Development. Windows and Linux are Windows
evolved from a micro-paced world of personal computers. Windows is very focused
on the simplicity of use, the approach to the end user and so on. Linux
develops from the UNIX world with all the problems of multi-tasking and
multi-user. Linux was designed with the characteristics of a server or high-end
workstations. Linux is also developed with networking capabilities are quite
high.
In terms of appearance. Windows and Linux can be
seen from the display screen. Windows has a more varied; the look of Windows
can be changed in accordance with what we want. But views on Linux bit
monotonous.
Completeness Program. The third of difference between both
are Completeness of Program. Windows does not provide many programs once
installed. Windows CD only contains the operating system, so if you want office
must find a CD office, like photo editing should find CD Photoshop (for
example), would draw emotion find CD CorelDraw (for example), would project
management must find a CD MS Project, etc.
CD Linux (e.g Ubuntu) contains many operations such
as office programs (word, spreadsheet, presentation, and database), Multimedia
(Sound, Video, Graphics), Internet (Browser, Email, Chat, Downloader,
Messenger, Torrent, News), 3D, Games, Utility, etc.
Program Application. Next is Windows and Linux on
program application aspect. Windows is superior in the Office application.
Microsoft Office includes a tool that is very nice to work in a PC, such as
preparing presentations, writing, reports, agendas etc. While Linux is superior
in web server application, proxy server, firewall, mail server, Samba etc.
Server applications on Linux more efficient resources (memory and disk) compared
to Windows.
Management Process. Next, between Windows and Linux are Windows
have a management process that is easy to read. While the system is running in
Windows we will look a number of processes that are running. User
can recognise most of these processes. But on a Linux system will be
visible statement that there are more than 20 processes is running. If users
don’t go into the Linux operating system, it will not be able
to recognise most of these processes.
That's the difference between two OS are
Windows and Linux. Although, between both OS's have some differences, basically
the same OS.
