Differences between Windows and Linux

Here you can say so much that instalatory current distribution of Linux that feature multiple Windows installer. Installation is short and simple. The process is simple partitioning, and at the request of the user can be automated (ie, the system will create the same partitions). A large part of the equipment is detected automatically, and without mincing powers as W'98. Until the final installation is required only one restart.

CONFIGURATION
Setup in Windows is done entirely from the graphical interface. Some parameters you can not change the registry. The process of configuring the Windows is extremely simple. In Linux configures the system by editing text configuration files and issue commands. Some configurations can be changed in special programs configuration for beginners (Linuxconf, YaST). An important feature of Linux is that you can reconfigure the system without left untouched.

USE
The UM has a windows user interface, which is used in all programs. This makes it very easy to handle - just learn the general principles, and learn them is fairly easy, since Windows is everywhere - in schools, offices, libraries, e-Cafe ... Linux, Unix system, is very complex, and its operation is to issue commands math.h (which is already much better than dosowy shell). It has a graphical interface, but there are many libraries that create an interface, a variety of user environments (desktops) ... There is no standardization.

GAMES
It is not about what to write. For Linux there are many small, simple darmowych Gierek, but rasowemu player is not due to personal preference. There are also some commercial games, such as Kwak 1,2,3, Unreal Tournament, Hopkins FBI or Civilization Call to Power. But they are individuals. In addition, there is a problem with the operation of accelerators - are currently supported only Voodoo cards. To

SOFTWARE
Here the two systems differ strongly. Windows has a tremendous amount of software, freeware, shareware and commercial, which can be properly settle everything. There are also applications that are standard in the PC-world. Linux is considered to have a large amount of free and free software, a simpler and more complex. This software is included with each distribution. It is there, among others gcc, multifunctional emacs editor, the GIMP graphics, Windows emulator WINE (Wine Is Not an Emulator). It is also commercial software, free and paid, but in small quantities. It belongs to him, inter alia, Star Office, Corel Word Perfect Office.

HANDLING EQUIPMENT
Oh, Linux is in this issue, mainly because the hardware manufacturers do not create drivers for Linux, and the creator of Linux do not have access to the technical specifications of the equipment. The biggest problem is support for printers, modems, internal and 3D accelerators. In contrast, Windows simply supports any equipment that exists

STABILITY
Hmm. It is in Windows to lag. W98 allows full programs to samowolkê - may be buried in the memory of other programs, combined with equipment and do lots of things that can not be. Therefore, an error in one program will involve the entire system for each other. In addition, Windows is getting slower and less stable during the operation. Under Linux is not the case. The programs are under full control - where do something wrong, get KOPA and can not harm the system. In addition, Linux is not degraded over time - if something worked well today, it will work well and after a few years!

SECURITY
Under that name is the protection against viruses, data loss, and hackerami "chakierami" etc Here again wins Linux. Under Windows, there is a lot of viruses, which may well harm. Data loss can occur as a result of the suspension system or death. In addition, Windows is vulnerable to attacks by programs such as WinNuke, pig etc, by the so-called wypuszczanych. "chakerów." While the Linux environment is not conducive to the viruses - all programs are yet under control. The suspensions do not occur. The attack by the "chakerów" is impossible, and real hackers may have big problems in dostaniu to the system.

EFFICIENT USE OF RESOURCES
Again, Windows lag. He can not effectively use memory, and often clog it without apparent reason. It seems to me that the power of the processor, it is somewhere wasted. Linux uses memory very efficiently - without a problem, start with 4 MB of RAM, and to work in most of the programs enough to 32MB, and in the worst case, 64 Remember also that prevents the fragmentation of Linux extremely hard disk - after several months of using the level of fragmentation was 0.1

UPDATES
How much time you have to wait until the Microsoft patch to the reported shoot you wrong? Or maybe it did not shoot? ... With Linux is not the case. The creator of Linux are ready to cooperate. It is even possible that the fix is available the day after his rise to the notification!

PRICE
Linux is a free and free. Such is also the vast majority of Linux programs. For Linux does not pay much - you can download from the Internet, buy a computer magazine with one of the distribution (about 20 PLN) or order the commercial distribution of the vast number of programs, instructions and a guarantee of technical assistance (up to 300 PLN). These are peanuts compared to the price of Windows and applications.

SUMMARY
Linux is an operating system for users more involved in the same operating system and the operations performed on him than on games and multimedia. Windows and more suited for games and multimedia, but despite its simple construction has many serious flaws in relation to Linux.
