Windows Vs Linux (Week 1 makeup)

 As many of us know there are two main Os systems one being the more commonly known as Windows operating system and the second most commonly known operating System is Mac OS. With the two giants out of the way, there is still one more OS that is overlooked by many to this day.  Most may know this particular OS as Linux. Linux is an open-source  Operating system that is derived from the Unix platform that is also most commonly found in MAC operating systems. Many of you might be wondering what open source means, and it is quite simple to open source stands for a system where anyone can be a developer for it and can make their own or appropriate changes to the program in order to help or straighten the operating system. While windows as many might know by is a licensed operating system where in order to install the operating system you must buy the rights in order to download and have it on your system if not already installed.  When it comes to Windows it is very straightforward and simple to use rather than Linux where it will take you a little reverse engineering in order to fully understand and grasp the full potential. When it comes to both of these operating systems they both offer pros and cons. Some of Linux's pros we will start off, first and for most Linux is a free open-source OS. Linux uses a more traditional monolithic Kernel. A monolithic Kernel is considered to be modular in its design where it allows most of its drivers to be able to dynamically load and unload when running. One of the cons with the Linux system though is that it is still considered and regarded as a bare-bone operating system with little to no features and has barely any updates throughout the years. Know when it comes to actually see the usage comparing between Linux and Windows there is no comparison between the two for the fact that windows will beat Linux tenfold especially since every prebuilt laptop or computer you buy from the store other than MAC will be running Windows at any price point.  As well when it comes to windows you will usually see multiple kinds of users ranging from businesses, developers, and kids. As well something to consider with windows which could be a double-edged sword and this would be for the fact that windows are a closed sources system that usually has an issue running open-source networks. With that being said it still is possible when downloading third-party apps or software that are add ons to the Windows OS which can turn your once known windows machine into a Linux machine to run open-source software. Which allows Windows to be versatile in many ways.
