Hi, I am here with another interesting comparison related to software technology. My today's post presents a comparison between Linux and Windows - two established operating systems. My aim here is to evaluate that why Linux despite being a pioneering operating system is not as popular as Windows.

Microsoft inaugurated Windows operating system in 1985. Every version of Windows incorporates a graphical UI, with a work area that permits users to see documents and envelopes in windows. For as long as twenty years, Windows has been the most generally utilized operating system for PCs.

Linus Torvalds inaugurated Linux operating system in 1975. Linux operating system is the software that deals with the system equipment and resources, similar to CPU, memory, and capacity. The OS sits among applications and equipment and makes the associations between the entirety of your software and the actual assets that accomplish the work.

1. Linux was written in C language, and Assembly language, and windows were written in C++ Language and Assembly language.

2. Linux files are well-arranged in a tree structure opening with the root directory. They have no drive while in Windows, files are stored in folders on different information drives like C, D, and E.

3. In Linux users have two files with the same name in the same location, on the other hand, Windows users cannot save two files with the same name in the same location.

4. In Linux, files are save in any location, but in the window, most files are saved in a C drive.

5. Windows have 32 bits and 64-bit versions available but on the other hand, Linux is a category of Unix-like operating system that is dependent on the Linux part.

6. In Linux, the cmd line is a valuable instrument for administering and everyday undertakings however for end-users, it doesn't have a lot of effects. In windows, we have a command-line yet can't use it as a Linux order line. We need to go running and enter cmd then the order line will open.

7. Linux is much safer than windows. Windows is the significant objective for engineers of viruses and malware and it is generally powerless against anti-virus software.

Linux supports three types of user account:

1) Regular

2) Root

3) Service Account

windows supports four types of user account:

1) Administrator

2) Standard

3) Child

4) Guest

In my opinion, both Linux and windows are good operating systems if we evaluate their performance in the specific domains that they operate in.
