Windows vs. Linux?
There are people out there that belive there is no real differencebetween the two OS, like if Linux just invented the plate again. Butthis is of course not true in any way, yes its true the way a OS worksdepends on the setup and skills of the admin. But this does not meanthat there are not a difference between Windows and Linux or the manydifferent Linux OS out there (even that they share, the same kernel insome cases).The main difference between windows and Linux is that Windows isclosed source and Linux is Open Source, now some of you might think:yes, and?
Well, this means that with 3 party driver and suchs, you are able toinstall it directly into the kernel (core) of a Linux OS. But not witha windows, since its closed. This in return means that you will have abetter integrated system with Linux, then with Windows and of coursethis has influence on your OS as a whole. It might get more unstabile,more slow and even have security risks on a windows.
There are of course also other difference between the two likemessenger in windows has a lot of ads, where in a Linux you are in a adfree desktop. Linux does not need to run Antivirus and you have a lotof freedom to choose between 10,000+ software packages from a softwaremanager (apt, yum or pacman).This can be used to change your desktop,you could use gnome, KDE, Fluxbox, Xfce or such as desktop.
You also get a lot of tools and default software like Openoffice(linux version of Office), putty (SSH), gftp (ftp client), pidgin(gnome messenger), kopete (kde messenger) and such of a high quality.The best part with Linux and Open Source is that most of it is free andthis means you dont have to steal a windows to get a OS, you can justrun Linux.
There of course is more software currently to windows and inpaticular more games, but if you want high quality games why not buy aplaystation or you could just setup a Linux with wine (windowsemulator), cedega (game version of wine), snes (super nintendo games)or Vmvare (virtual machines).
The reason there are more software to Windows is only because morepeople use it, if they used Linux then there would be made more gamesand software for that OS.
