Operating Systems: Current Development of Windows and Linux

Linux is an open source operating system based on UNIX. There are many types of Linux operating systems available today, but there were several resemblances between different Linux systems. All Linux systems use the Linux kernel. Deepin, Xubuntu, and Kubuntu are three of the many Linux distributions.

Linux is the most important free software it has developed into a an operating for business , education , and personal productivity. Linux is so different because of its free implementation of Unix

During my research of Linux vendors, I have narrowed my options to three distinct vendors. I have found Red Hat, Novell, and Ubuntu were three of the best companies worldwide. Each vendor has their advantages and disadvantages. I will address the positive and negative points of each vendor. The main differences between the three vendors that I will discuss are cost, training & support, performance & reliability, and lastly availability.

Linux is a free open-source software that anybody can use . Most people use computers don't even know that Linux exists. Most people just use whatever is already downloaded onto the computer. Or if they buy computer that has no software on it they would buy Windows or Mac since it's displayed in many stores. Difference between Linux and windows / Macs is that you can download a version that specifically displays OS that relates to what you want to use it for. For example there's different distributions that are customized to be only used for editing software. or on the other hand many people just want to use the terminal or start with a o s that is used for coding. Either way you can find many different types of Linux that you can download anywhere on the internet. all of these being free. this is one of the main

1. Describe some reasons why Linux is installed on only a very small fraction of desktop computers. Are there particular categories of products or users who might see Linux as more appealing than conventional operating systems? Do you think Linux's share of the desktop market will increase? Why or why not?

One of the good thing about it is that it is free to use and distribute to your other computers. Linux is not a fully operation system, and it needs additional software in order for it to work to its full potential. There are so many different packages, that there will be one that will fit you needs. Even though it is not a fully operation system, and can be loaded on most computer except Mac, is still only have just a few virus problems, good graphic interface and still good for use, but not much

| It is hard to understand the system of Linux because most people are not familiar

The paper shall be your individual and original work. This is not a team project.

Linux can choose the most suitable Linux-based server system. Those operating system have adequate compatibility with the common hardware. For the example, Ubuntu is listing the suitable hardware for the software they've developed.

Fedora is known for its stability and reliability with performance that is not necessarily the best but aims at being efficient for the long haul. When fedora 12 was released in February of 2009 it was said the new version of fedora boasted “A lot of performance enhancements under the hood make this a much more tightly optimized release for x86 (32bit) systems.”(Danen, 2009)

This paper analyzes and compares the differences between the Windows and Linux’s operating system in an enterprise. It emphasizes the features in these two operating system such as history, cost, security, user-friendliness, performance, and future trends. It shows how impactful these features can be when an enterprise chooses an operating system. The research in this paper highlights the pros and cons of an enterprise using one operating system or the other. It directs the readers to have a better understanding on which operating system is better for specific instances. Readers will have an enhance perception on Windows and Linux and the platforms they serve. In our paper we try to fully analyze Windows and Linux’s operating system, so an enterprise can choose the best operating system for themselves.

Linux is a trademark owned by Linus Torvalds [1]. It is an operating system which is powerful, free and inexpensive to own based on UNIX [1]. It is a POSIX-compliant with versions available to install in cell phones, supercomputers and most computing systems [1]. Linux is an open source program as its source code is available to the general public for use and the right to modify from its original design without any charges [1]. New code will be added to the next version made available with Linux if it is accepted as a universal improvement [1]. The code will continue to exist and developed by the user even if the company fails [1]. Moreover, updates for Linux are available every six months [1]. Nowadays, Linux is in constant development by

Three operating systems discuss in this paper each have their advantages and disadvantages from one another. The biggest advantage for Microsoft is the widespread use and compatibility with most every type of program out there. If you 're a Linux fan then you appreciate not only the price which is usually free but also that it is

The Linux operating system has been developed by many intelligent people. Around two percent of the Linux kernel was actually written by Torvalds himself. Today, the Linux kernel has received contributions from thousands of developers across the globe. Torvalds remains the definitive authority on what new codes are incorporated into the Linux kernel. However, Linux distribution modifies the kernel according to each of their users’

In Windows, you can run lots of different program programs. There are customized programs and off-the-shelf (common) programs. These allow you to do everything from running your bowling league to typing up a correspondence.
