Riassunto:

 

Linux has a long history of change and innovation which turned it into a creative platform for every programming individual that wants to tailor their system to their needs. People often do not come to Linux with words of praise since it is not an uncommon occurrence for a person to give up on Linux based on the first appearance.

The command interface can be a bit overwhelming at first glance. Sometimes it might be hard to remember even the most basic of commands and how they work. However, while it is true that there are loads of commands to memorize, you have many different tools that will lighten your load and help you out immensely with whatever you choose to do with your terminal. You will have to spend some time with getting to know the system, but your learning process will not be as extensive as it seems. If you have an administrator, you have nothing to worry about, as they will take care of most of the problematic occurrences. If this is not the case, the system itself will provide you with much help and, if that is not enough, you can turn to the community which will usually try to support you with their technical knowledge.

Being a relatively old operating system, it is natural to think that Linux’s methods will be outdated, but that is not the case. Most Linux distributions are updated regularly and are up to par with most other operating systems in the same category. The many different distros will offer you plenty of options to choose from once you get started. There are even distros that are tailored to the needs of specific groups of individuals. Distros made for designers, distros made for programmers, distros made for office workers—you can find them all. On top of that, no matter which distro you choose, you can make your own customizations, adding tools, applications, and programs.

Several programs that you might need from Windows have been rewritten for Linux, or, more simply and more impressively, the part of the system which garnered said program was rewritten to be compatible with the Linux code. Linux will be able to replace any other operating system to a certain degree. While it might not have the variety of programs and applications or the speed of Windows, it does a good job of emulating it on a budget. While Windows software tends to be updated fairly often, Linux is updated fairly rarely, but the updates are always significant to the system. Linux always tends to match its competitors in whatever possible, which paves a straight and unending road of self-improvement. Linux is always pushed to improve by both the market and the community, as well as the administrators. This means that the quality will mostly be consistent for every distro alike.
