Answer 2

Do you use Windows now? The best way to find out the difference is to download a copy of Ubuntu Linux...

http://www.ubuntu.com/

Burn the image to a disc and pop it in your CD-ROM drive.

When you boot up you can boot into Linux (from the CD) and test drive it without installing anything. It's a great way to take it for a test run and I think you will like what you see.

Answer 3

Reliability versus user friendliness.

Answer 5

I'd just like to second skurdj's answer - bear in mind though that if you try the ubuntu live CD, it will be a LOT slower than when running from HDD.



It's a lot lighter on system resources than windoze [less bloated], therefore once installed, it feels like you've got a new computer. EVERYTHING happens so much faster - including web browsing. Best of all, it's completely FREE. Many applications have Linux variants, and those that don't nearly have a free equivalent - one of the most well known is OpenOffice.org - an open source equivalent of MS Office.



The main drawback on Linux based systems is lack of support from major device manufacturers. That's not to say devices won't work, there's a plethora of 3rd party drivers, and many devices work immediately without the need for additional drivers.



EDIT: Ubuntu has a user friendly GUI just like Windows - it still has the command prompt, just as windows does. but you usually only use that for advanced needs.

Answer 6

both are operating systems



linux is open source but for window we have to purchase license



Window interface is user freindly but linux interface is like DOS command

Answer 7

Different incompatible coding. Can't run linux programs on windoze and can't run windoze on linux - unless you try to use virtual machines or other software, which may or may not work.



They both do the same things - just differently.

Answer 8

Linux is an operating system written primarily by the actual users. Windows is a bloated piece of spyware with fun little games included like BSOD
