An Alternative To Windows
Discover the sleeker, faster, less demanding and free operating system ready to rival Windows. Join Neil as he discusses the advantages Linux, the open source operating system that outperforms Windows in more ways than one from its cost efficiency to its reliability is Linux beginning to take over?
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Linux is the open source OS that outperforms Windows, runs on low-spec machines, and never ruins your day with another infuriating auto-update.The most obvious advantage is that Linux is free whereas Windows is not. Windows license cost is different for both desktop and server versions. In the case of Linux OS either it can be desktop or server and still costs nothing.
- Windows OS is one of the simplest desktop OS available today. Its graphical user-friendliness is exceptional – but Linux distros like Ubuntu, Elementary OS, Linux Mint, etc. are catching up, aiming to make the transition from Windows to Linux smooth and easy.
- Linux systems consume fewer system resources (RAM, disk space, etc.) when compared to Windows. Many Hardware vendors have realized the popularity of Linux and have started making Linux compliant hardware/drivers. But the big thing is this: when running older hardware, Windows is slower than the leaner, slicker Linux. This is why you might want to Keep your old PC and run it on Linux
- Linux is everywhere. From the smallest device to the largest supercomputer, Linux is everywhere. It can be a car, router, phone, medical devices, plane, TV, satellite, watch, or school tablet, Linux will be there. It’s used so much because it works better than anything else – chances are it’ll work for you and your soon-to-be-obsolete machines too.
BEST MOMENTS
“The most obvious advantage is that Linux is free whereas Windows is not”
“We’ve covered Windows updates before on the show – and the chaos they can inflict!”
“Geek alert, Linux allows a user to control every aspect of the operating system.”
