Windows vs Linux, which is better and what are the differences between them?

Windows vs. Linux.. the war that has been going on for many years, which has raged on Internet blogs and forums since the beginning of its era, and it is similar to any competition between the republicans of two different teams. However, there is undoubtedly evidence and factors that make one of the two systems better than the other, or at least in certain areas, and this is exactly what we will do in this article, as we will present a comparison between Microsoft Windows and Linux in general, and this comparison will include some of the factors that They are of great importance to users such as security, games, and corporate support.

 

Before we start, you should know that the Windows system is more widespread with a huge difference than the Linux system in all its distributions, and this is for ease of handling and because it is completely directed to the average user, unlike Linux, which tends to be directed to Geeks and those who have a strong technical background, this is a very important factor We must take it into account, and because you know about Linux, you definitely have a technical culture, which we will work on increasing in this article. Let's go.

 

The difference between Windows and Linux in security and protection

 

Security is very important for all users, especially those who are specialists or interested in technical fields - like us - and perhaps the general idea that users have is that the Linux operating system is more secure than Windows, and this is not true, but it is not wrong either. You have to know that no operating system is completely secure, no electronic system is completely secure, even if it is a banking system, and this is because here it is due to how professional the attack or hack is in the first place, in any case besides our agreement that there is no fully secure operating system we must Also to agree that security and protection are concepts, not products.

 

The Linux operating system has the feature of Root or Superuser, through which it is not possible to perform any operation on the operating system, whether it is installing an application or any other process, except by entering a password, meaning that in order for the process to be completed, the user will need to enter a Positive Input , that is, the user must enter a true real value, which in itself is a feature that greatly increases security,

 

But on the other hand, the same feature can be applied to Windows by creating an independent Administration Account and working through it, but Linux still excels in this part. Another factor that poses some danger to Windows is the mechanism of installing applications, as anyone can program a program for Windows and anyone else can install and run it, which may cause some danger, unlike Linux, which made applications and programs rely on stores instead Also, since Linux is open source, its software is open source, and the expert user can look at the code for the program before running it.

 

In any case, the Windows operating system is certainly the most widespread operating system, and this makes hackers and virus programmers more experienced in dealing with it and deceiving it, and this is because even in 2022 Linux is still the least used operating system at all compared to Windows and Mac.

 

Software compatibility and reliability in Windows and Linux

 

Here Linux loses, as I think it won in the previous point, however, Windows is better than Linux in terms of compatibility and reliability, as Windows users are always confident that they are able to run any program even if it is old and not intended for the version of Windows they They work with it from the ground up, and Windows in general excels in the Legacy Support factor, and this makes Windows users easily able to run any program on the one hand, and on the other hand, all programs are already available for Windows.

 

How to make old programs and games work on Windows 10

On the other hand, Linux distributions usually have problems with the software available to them first, and running the old software second, for example an application like Adobe Flash Player has been for a very long time unavailable for Linux, and when it finally became available it did not work well, and it It didn't get updates and upgrades like it gets on Windows.

 

Gaming and games on Linux and Windows

 

You don't need me to tell you, right? Windows certainly wins here too, as Steam provides Windows with thousands of games of all kinds, as well as the game developers themselves who care about Windows the most, as it is the most famous system in the world, on the contrary, for Linux it has very limited games.

 

The current reality is that Linux is not suitable for gamers at all. This may develop later but now and at the present moment Linux is not suitable, but this makes us ask a question: Do gamers need Linux at all? I mean that if you are a gamer, why do you use Linux in the first place, it is popular and known that Linux is more suitable for developers and programmers.

 

Which one is faster? Linux or Windows?

 

Here Windows loses, of course, the Linux operating system is faster and smoother, and this is due to the same method of operation and processing for each of the two systems, and Linux is better than Windows in processing more than one process at once, on the other hand, the Linux system is not affected with the passage of time. Time and no less efficient, as is the case with Windows.

 

Privacy in Linux and Windows

 

We do everything on our computers, literally everything, so protecting our privacy is very important and never simple, and at this point, Linux wins, as it doesn't spy on you in any way. What's special about Linux is that This will be yours alone since it is not affiliated with profit organizations that want to profit from your private information, on the other hand, all Linux systems and distributions come with a pre-installed firewall, and this wall protects you even from the developers of the system themselves!

 

Now that Microsoft Windows aims to profit more than ever, through advertising programs and so on, in addition to that Microsoft is able to look at your files and see them if you sync them with OneDrive, their cloud storage service, Microsoft is also following How you work, how you use the Internet, etc. to improve how Cortana, Microsoft's personal assistant, works.

 

Here we end, of course there are other factors that differ between the two systems, and we may discuss them later, now we want you to share your opinions and aspirations for the whole thing, also tell us have you used Linux before? Which distributions do you prefer?
