Linux Write For Us

Linux offers great speed and security, while Windows offers great ease of use, so even non-technical people can easily work on personal computers. Many companies use Linux as a server and operating system for security purposes, while Windows is mainly used by business users and gamers.

Both Linux and Windows are well-known operating systems.

When we talk about comparing these two, we need to first understand what an operating system is and then get familiar with the basics of Linux and Windows before we start comparing them.

An operating system is low-level system software that manages the computer’s hardware and software resources and facilitates basic computer functions such as task scheduling, resource management, memory management, control of peripherals, networks, etc.

Linux Architecture

As we can see from the above figure, the Linux architecture also has two layers, namely user space and kernel space. Within these layers there are four main components viz. h Hardware, kernel, system call interface (also known as shell), and user applications or utilities.

Hardware includes all the peripherals connected to the computer such as terminals, printers, CPU, RAM. Now comes the monolithic kernel, which is the heart of the operating system.

The Linux kernel also has many subsystems and other components. It is responsible for many critical tasks such as process control, networking, access to peripherals and file systems, security management, and storage management.
