6 tasks that Linux handles better than Windows

Windows - a great operating system, there is no doubt. However, there are some moments in which the operating system from Microsoft hopelessly loses the free Linux family.
In this article, I used the example Linux Mint, which successfully use for many years. However, all the reasons mentioned below equally applies to almost any Linux-based operating system.
1. updating
Windows terrible system updates. It brings stress, irritation and pain. In the web you can read a lot of anger filled descriptions of what surprises presents under Windows updates: sudden reboots, freezes, bugs and unexpected errors.
With regard to the single system update for the application, then it simply does not exist. Each program solves this problem by their own efforts and resources. Some launch background processes that constantly check for new versions, others do it every time you start the program. And still others do not do anything. As a result, you continue to use the old version, not knowing about updates.
IN Linux
everything is much easier and more convenient. You just get notified when the system patches and new versions of software, and in just one click they are all set. No reboots, lockups and downtime. Even talking about.2. Security
About holes in Windows security is not just lazy writing. It broke, break, and will break. And the problem here is not in the hands of the curvature of the programmers - I'm sure that Microsoft employs the best of the best. The fact that such a complex system, unfortunately, is impossible to create without errors.
Many argue that the operating systems based on Linux do not contain fewer vulnerabilities, but hackers do not need them because of the weak platform popularity. Most likely, it is, but it is not so important. The result is important. The current Linux much more reliable and safer than any operating system produced by Microsoft.
3. customization
When I talk about the interface settings, many contemptuous curl and believe that they repaint all of these completely useless. But it is not about beauty but about usability.
All men are created different, so everyone can have their own preferences and ways of working. One convenient to use the button "Start" to another place shortcuts on the desktop, and a third generally cast in the command line.
From this perspective, any Linux allows much more freedom than Windows. Here you are free to customize the appearance and functionality of the system to such an extent that even the creators do not recognize it. Yes, sometimes it requires knowledge and time, but such a possibility. And for many users, this is important.
4. requirements
The Windows operating system - the one more little thing. She will not have to entertain and please, if you try to install it on any old computer. No, in this case, Windows will start strained sniff, grit hard drive and all the forces to show their displeasure.
Linux in this respect easier. The operating system works even on the hardware, which is long overdue to throw. And if any fresh distribution will not install, you can always pick up a replacement for him. In Linux, the family abound superlegkovesnyh copies that can be set literally on the grinder or a vacuum cleaner.
5. Price
The latest Windows 10 More recently extended is free as an upgrade to previous versions of the operating system. But now it's in the past. All new users need to pay. Yes, there are more pirated version and cracks, but that we will not even talk. We're honest people, do not you?
The Linux operating system is free completely. Free of charge distribution itself, updating it and even almost all the software is free. You do not need to pay a penny except for those occasions when you raschuvstvuetes themselves want to thank the developers. In our difficult time is an important plus, I think.
6. Friendliness
The Windows operating system does not like competition. If you decide to install it on your computer, it will not tolerate the presence of hard drive space and other systems will try in any way hinder their use. I chose Windows - enough to run on the side!
Linux can peacefully coexist with other systems. At the time of installation, you will be prompted to save your current OS and add an appropriate entry to the boot menu, so you can at any time to switch between systems. Moreover, many distributions have a live-version, which allows you to test the operation of the system without installing anything on the hard drive. Liked - put side by side with Windows and use.
In this article, I am not in any way set out to downplay the advantages of the Windows operating system. It has both weak and very strong hand. No wonder that Microsoft products are still occupies a leading position. However, this does not mean that we should always be closed on the same platform and to abandon experiments.
Try Linux. Suddenly you enjoy.
