The most popular operating system in use today is Windows. It’s a product of the Redmond, Wash.-based company Microsoft, which makes software and hardware for your computer. Windows consists of various components and services that interact with each other and the software and hardware that you run on it. Windows is a complicated animal. It’s designed to be very flexible, so that you can easily add and remove hardware and software on your system (HajiRassouliha et al.,2018). Windows has hundreds of settings that you can adjust through its setup utility, the Windows Control Panel. There are separate settings for the operating system itself and for the various programs and settings that you run. Even if you run Windows on your PC, you don’t need to know everything about how Windows works to use it. You can have one of the millions of users on the Internet at any given time use Windows, although you’ll probably have to deal with a lot of configuration details to make that happen. You don’t have to be an expert to install and use Windows, and you can still do all your tasks. The most important Windows components include the operating system itself, the desktop that you use, and the Web browser. Windows itself runs as a service. The user can add programs that run on top of the Windows core — such as Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and other applications — but they don’t run within Windows. You may add programs, such as Microsoft’s Microsoft Office suite, or third-party programs, but these will not interfere with Windows in any way. The desktop is an interface through which you’ll be presented with the information you need to perform your daily tasks. Your email inbox and file manager appear in the desktop, as do most of the programs you launch. The program that you actually use, however, usually starts in the Windows Task Bar or the Start menu, which is the window that appears at the left or top of the desktop when you’re using Windows (Boettiger,2015).

Because it is the basis for so many modern computer applications, it is important to understand the advantages of Windows programming. While Windows programming is not as widely available to computer application developers as other languages, it is very easy to program in Visual Basic .NET. You can easily move all of your computer programming knowledge over to .NET without any problem, but before you do this, you need to learn Windows programming first. This article is your starting point to learn Windows programming in Visual Basic .NET. Windows is widely used because of its widespread availability, high quality, good reputation, low cost, ease of use and other reasons. The disadvantages of using Windows include that it is not easy to develop in Windows, there are many security problems and its performance is not the best. Using a different OS, especially Linux, helps in designing programs faster and easier because the developers know the OS inside out. As a whole, it will be very difficult for the developers to use Windows for all purposes and applications (Chen et al, 2019).

Linux was designed to be used. The Linux kernel is designed in such a way that it can be modified to fit into user needs. It is the most advance feature of Linux which provides ability to do more than one task at the same time. Linux can run on most of the operating systems. So, the operating system should be compatible with Linux kernel. If Linux was perfect for every application that’s been developed it would have been used by everybody in development and we wouldn’t be doing what we’re doing. But you know there is disadvantages of Linux and one of the big ones is the problem of drivers. There’s no way to put a Linux drive on your machine unless you’ve got a driver for it. And Linux drivers are mostly proprietary in terms of who makes them and what they do (Khaleel et al, 2015).

There are different Operating Systems in the world and each one is different from other. Some operating systems are compatible to all devices in the market but some are only available to particular devices such as Apple IOS. Here I want to compare the Linux with Windows operating system. Each operating system has own advantages compare with other operating system. Linux is the one of the most user friendly and it is alternative to Apple as well as the Windows. Linux mostly emphasis on the task execution and Linux offered various benefits over the windows.

Here are some advantages of Linux over the Windows

The first advantage is the cost, it is openly available in the market and no need to spend money to buy this operating system unlike Windows or apple. In the other hand, we need to buy licence product from Microsoft and we can only install in the one system. Linux we can be installed in the particular system and can be shared with other systems in the network (Hahm, O. 2017).

The second advantage is the security, it has more security features compare to Windows and adequately protect from various viruses.

Third advantage is the choices, it offers various customise options to user as per requirements.

Fourth advantage is the hardware, user can use it as back-up as well as the firewall

Here are some disadvantages of Linux

It is very hard to learn Linux and requires a lot of efforts to master. It is very prone to cyber-attacks.

Windows

Nowadays we can see Windows software in every laptop except Apple and it is most renowned Operating system in the world. It is most user-friendly compare to Linux even thought is paid software. User can enjoy the operating the system without any challenges.

Disadvantages of the Windows

Customers need to buy Operating system for the use

Prone to various Cyber attacks

Operating systems are the software that turns your computer into a functioning machine. They control the CPU, the RAM, and your display and keyboard. Most operating systems come with their own program libraries, allowing them to run programs written by different people. The most popular operating system in the world today is known as Microsoft Windows. Each operating system has different ideas for how people should interact with their devices, what the device does, and how files should be saved to make things work smoothly. Most operating systems have a graphical user interface (GUI) that enables you to launch, run, and close applications, manage files, and switch between the desktop and a web browser. Some operating systems offer more specialized features, like games or text editors, or they may lack useful features. Operating systems also differ in how they handle hardware components like memory, hard drives, and USB devices. ach operating system has some common features, but they are often arranged in different ways. Some systems emphasize speed over features, and others emphasize low-resource devices and free operating systems. In addition, each operating system has many unique features. It’s often hard to get a handle on which is better because operating systems are a complicated subject. But we can make a few observations about operating systems, and the best operating systems. The best operating system can solve real problems better than any other one (Pennycook et al.,2019). The first operating systems were simple, unstructured piles of code where programs were run one at a time and a computer could only do one thing at a time. But computers with operating systems came around the 1970s and allowed programs to interact with each other and do things all at once. It is in this general time period that we see that Linux is still the most used operating system, though more macOS is used than Windows. Windows has been around for decades and has many more companies and applications designed for it, making it the most reliable option (Shammer & Zahary,2019).
