Differences Linux With Windows ~ Computer Operating Systems are best known from childhood to adulthood is probably the Windows OS. The best-selling operating system in the world and has been ingrained for usage terms. but one of the operating system that is equally operating system offered by windows it is linux.
Linux is a free operating system used by the user without having to incur the cost to pay for a license to the owner of the OS. for more about what the difference between the two operating systems are very large, following his review:
- User Interface
In Windows, you do not have a lot of user interface options. For example, in Windows 95/98 you only know the default user interface of Windows 95/98. You're a little more luck if you use Windows XP, because you can move from the interface of Windows XP to Windows 98 lighter.
In Linux, you can find many kinds of user interfaces. And usually the choice of user interface you can customize the specifications of your computer or your work environment. For example, on a slow computer you can use a lightweight user interface, such as XFCE or Fluxbox.
Or if you like the style of your Mac, you can choose GNOME desktop model or use a utility Docker. And if you're familiar with Windows and have a fast enough computer, you can select the KDE desktop.
With KDE, you can still choose to use the style of Windows XP or Windows Vista. Choice and vary so much in Linux, you can adjust according to your favorite.

- Security and Virus
One of the main problems in Windows that are most frequently found viruses and spyware. From year to year the issue has narrowed but not actually getting bigger. This all happened because a lot of security holes in Windows that could be exploited by people who are not responsible.
Because too many security problems in Windows, it is not surprising then that it appeared ribbing for the name of Windows Vista, which stretched into viruses, Spyware, Trojans and Adware.
Linux is derived from Unix operating system that has a much stronger level of security. That's why there are not many viruses on Linux and if there can not reproduce rapidly and are usually not able to bring great damage.
Although not as important on Windows, you can still find anti-virus programs on Linux, such as ClamAV and F-Prot. PCLinux has provided anti-virus ClamAV can be found on the Start menu> Applications> FileTools> KlamAV

- Installation and Production Program
Windows is the operating system, which is why Windows does not provide a lot of programs once installed. If anything maybe you will only find Internet Explorer, Media Player, Notepad, and a few other small programs.
This is very different from Linux. Although Linux is an operating system, but Linux is distributed with many programs in it (that's the technical term is distribution - from the word distribution - Linux). Once installed, you will find many programs of almost all categories of programs. Call it the category Office Suite, Multimedia (Sound, Video, Graphics), Internet (Browser, Email, Chat, Downloader, Messenger, Torrent, News), 3D, Games, Utility, etc..
With the installation of almost the same, you not only get an operating system but also all the programs needed for daily activities in Linux.

- System Configuration
Windows is known ease of use, because almost anything can be done with a point n 'click that has been based graphics,
In Linux, you may often hear the need to learn the commands manually on the command line. Most of the news is true, but lately Linux has experienced rapid growth, so almost anything you can do as easily as on Windows.
With PCLINUX Control Center, the system configuration can do as easy as point n click. PCLINUX has good hardware detection so almost everything is automated. And almost all programs in PCLINUX accompanied with a ready-made configurations. For example, the Internet browser has been accompanied by a number of plug-ins. No need to download and install plug-ins or any other flash.

- Hardware Support
In Windows, you usually never hear hardwre problem, because almost all the existing hardware already includes drivers. Unlike in Linux where you may often hear the hardware does not work on Linux. This happens because the hardware makers do not provide Linux drivers version. Fortunately, in recent years quite a lot of vendors that already provide support for Linux drivers. And the introduction of Linux hardware will progressively increase so rarely heard from hardware problems on Linux.
- Handle Crash
Linux is generally seen as a stable operating system. And if you compare Linux with Windows 95/98/ME, Linux is much more stable. For Windows XP - if you follow the system properly - will also be fairly stable.
And just as with Windows, one day you too will have a problem in Linux. Although rare, but the program crashes or hangs can happen. It is a fact of life in the computer world.
However, there are some differences in Windows and Linux. Unix and Linux have a multi-user nature. Linux run Windows applications differently. When an application is locked, you can turn it off easily. Simply press the key combination Ctrl + Esc, and you can choose the application (or process) which are problematic.
And if the graphics system is locked, you can switch to the command prompt (by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F1) and kill the process manually software. You also have the option to restart the desktop just by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Backspace. This means you do not have to reboot Linux system though is having problems.

- Hard Disk Partitions
Linux does not recognize the naming of drive C: for a partition. All the drives together in a large storage system. Folder
/ mnt is the place for you to access all your media on your computer,
either another partition, CD-ROM, Floppy, or FlashDisk.
Later KDE has easy access to the media by providing a system of Media Storage that can be accessed through My Computer or the file manager Konqueror.

- File Naming
Linux uses "/" to separate folder instead of "" which is used DOS / Windows. Linux is case-sensitive, this means that the file "hello.txt" different from the file "hello.txt". Linux also does not pay much attention to the file extension. If you rename the file "hello.txt" to "Hello", Linux still know that this is a text file. And when you click on the file "Hello", Linux will still automatically open a text editor program.
- Easy and Security
You probably already know that as a normal user (not root) you can not write files in any folder. Normal users only have write access in their home folder. As a regular user, you will not be able to change an important part of the system. It
may seem too restrictive and cumbersome, but this way is much more
secure, because only certain people who have access are able to touch
the root system. Even viruspun can not easily touch the Linux system. That's why you have not heard of any viruses on Linux.
This is different from Windows is very susceptible to the virus. This occurs because a normal user in Windows also has the right as an administrator. Most Windows users do not know this, so their systems are vulnerable to virus attacks. Windows Vista now has adopted Linux system is security.

- Defragment the hard drive
In Windows, you may often encounter problems decreased rate of Windows. One cause is usually the files on my hard drive that are no longer organized. that is why you are advised to use the Defrag program.
In Linux you will not find a program to defrag your hard drive. You do not need to defragment the hard drive Linux! Linux file system that handles all of this automatically. However, if your hard drive is already filled to 99% you will get a speed issue. Make sure you have enough space so that Linux handles the system and you will never have problems deframentasi.

- File System
Windows has two file systems. FAT (DOS and Windows 9x) and NTFS (from Windows NT/2000/XP). You can read and even save files on FAT and NTFS systems Windows. This does not apply otherwise, Windows will not be able to read or save the file on the Linux system.
As with Windows, Linux has several kinds of file systems, such as ReiserFS or ext3. The system is in some ways better than FAT or NTFS Windows since implementing a technique called journaling. The journal keeps a record of the file system. When
a Linux system crash, the activities of the journal will be completed
after the reboot and all files on the hard drive will continue to run
smoothly.
In Vista, the 3D feature less popular because it requires high computer specifications. Much different features capable of running Linux 3D Desktop on computers with low specifications. Linux is well-known that from the start on the server side, it has shown her skills on the Windows desktop to outperform in terms of 3D Desktop.
