For many programming teaching videos on a certain website, we will teach everyone how to use Linux in the early stages. So what are the advantages of Linux? Below, I will share some of my own opinions with you.

1.Windows incomparable security

(1)At present, the number of viruses in Linux is very small compared to Mac and Windows, as Linux code is open-source and technology parties from around the world are doing their best to explore vulnerabilities, and most of them have been eliminated.

(2)The operating system of Linux is open-source, and many versions of Linux will add some security settings, which can be further updated through timely patch updates.

(3)Linux requires administrator authorization in the form of a password to execute every application and virus. Generally, viruses are difficult to execute, let alone automatically install. Therefore, the security is relatively high compared to Windows.

2.Open source system source code for self customization

• Linux developed by Linus Torvalds is just a kernel. The kernel refers to a system software that provides device drivers, file systems, process management, network communication, and other functions. The kernel is not a complete set of operating systems, it is just the core of the operating system, and then designed according to one's own preferences for the desktop environment, forming different types of distributions on the market. For example, Gentoo Linux is highly self-made, so this distribution is also more suitable for Linux experts to use; Due to its high hardware support, Ubuntu Linux is also widely loved by the public. Debian and Fedora are more suitable for programmers with better technical skills.

• There are over a hundred different styles of operating systems in the Linux distribution, and users can choose the appropriate operating system according to their preferences.

3.Fast software updates

Linux has more mundane software updates compared to other operating systems, and software updates are also faster than other systems.

4.Save money, most systems and software are free

Not to mention free. First, the Linux operating system is completely free. Second, it has all kinds of other freeware, whether it is file processing like Word, picture processing like PS, or even educational software, which greatly reduces the cost of users.

5.Powerful development tools provide convenience for developers

1、Eclipse； 2、LightTable； 3、Sublime Text； 4、Brackets； 5、DartEditor； 6、VS Code； 7、KDevelop； 8、Geany IDE； 9. Netbeans and other Linux code tools, as well as shell check, can identify non-standard writing; Axel multi threaded download tool, etc.

6.The software runs faster and performs well

• Linux can run continuously for a long time without slowing down its running speed, while Windows will relatively slow down its running speed over a long period of time.

• Linux provides support for network functions, making server settings more convenient.

• Linux can run almost all formats of files.

7.Linux has great teaching prospects and strong community support

• Linux not only helps students gain a deeper understanding of operating system principles and the internal structure of software, but also provides tools such as avogadro and stellarium for teaching.

• Linux has a wide range of forum support, and many great gods and excellent programmers will provide free assistance to novice Xiaobai. It can be said that Linux related forums are very helpful for novices.
