Linux, what is that operating system? why is it becoming such a required operating system? why do we need to get to know it? There are so many questions like
that about Linux that I would like to calm down. Now that I had the chance of getting to know Linux pretty well, I can honestly say that there is much potential for the open-source operating systems. You can basically get all of the things you were used to getting from the Windows operating system, and much more.
There are many tools in Linux, which are free and there are easy techniques to get those tools downloaded and installed on your system. You just need to learn a couple of basic tools that enable you to control these operating systems. My favorite Linux operating system is UBUNTU and I believe many do think like me about it. This operating system is the most convenient and relatively easy to use, it would be recommended to start learning Linux with this operating system.
Linux has two options (all free of course), the first option is the desktop option the other is the server option. The desktop option is a version that includes the graphic interface (Gnome or KDE are the most common) which resembles what you know from the Windows operating system. The operation of the desktop is much the same, there are many built-in applications included in each Linux operating system. The Linux server option, gives you a black screen command prompt, like DOS in windows, which enables you to use all of Linux options, which most of it is being done on the text mode (the desktop interface is just redundant). Linux servers can become anything you want, either a web server, FTP server and much more. Any application in the computer world that you think of, you can create and install in Linux and all of those applications and tools are free, just install, configure and you’re up and running.
Linux has an open office that can open documents saved by the Windows operating system. There are many other built-in applications within the desktop version. All of those tools are free, and most of them will cover all of your needs, either for home use or for your office purpose.
The only issue I am missing in Linux is the computer games option. Currently, I am unfamiliar with any good games as we know in windows on a Linux machine. But, I assume in time this will happen as well since Linux is slowly becoming a real fact in the computer world.
