Operating Systems Linux What is the difference between Linux and Windows? Post 302651515 by eccentricson on Tuesday 5th of June 2012 04:40:52 PM

One thing a lot of people ask me is "why would I use Linux over Windows?". Is this what you're trying to get to?

One of the main reasons I say is because the resources you don't have to waste on Linux for the GUI that you don't need. Windows you NEED a GUI, and therefore, it wastes a lot of resources.

Linux can also be far more custom than Windows. Much easier to do as well, you can modify the kernel and add modules, or do just about anything you need.

If you don't know Linux, Windows may be the OS for you. However, if you're wanting to learn Linux, setup a VM of some sort and throw Linux on it.

But like Corona said, there really is no comparison.
