If we take a look at Devices, that are just dumb machines, capable of nothing by themselves, just piece of metal and silicon. As God put life in the human body, same is the case here that we, computer scientists and software engineers put an operating system in that piece.
An operating system (OS) is a set of programs that manage hardware resources and provide common services for applications. The operating system is the most important type of system software
in a system. A user cannot run an application on the Device without an operating system, unless the application program is
self booting.
There are many operating systems like Microsoft Windows, Linux, Mac OS, iOS, Android etc. Today what i am discussing is Linux, Windows and Mac.
Which one is most secure, Cannot be hacked easily, easy to get, and great working.
Linux:
One
of the many reasons people choose Linux on the desktop and the server
is security. Linux has a reasonably good track record when it comes to
security.
You dont need any antivirus, any spyware etc. Linux is and has always been a very secure operating system.
For desktop or home use or Server, Linux is very cheap or free. You can buy a Linux book and get the operating
system included with the book for free. You can also download Linux for free
from each of the Linux vendors (assuming your Internet connection is fast enough
for a 600 MB file and you have a CD burner). And one thing more, it is open source.
Many of the available Software programs, utilities, and games available on Linux are free or open source.
Many of the Linux variants and many Linux programs are open source and
enable users to customize or modify the code however they wish to.
Windows:
Although Microsoft has made great improvements over the years with
security on their operating system, their operating system continues to
be the most vulnerable to viruses and other attacks. The vast majority of malicious software (of all types) runs on Windows. I don't know
the actual percentages, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was 98% or so. Windows users are
burdened with the need for anti-virus and anti-spyware software.
Microsoft allows a single copy of Windows to be used on only one computer.
Starting with Windows XP, they use software to enforce this rule (Windows
Product Activation at first, later Genuine Windows).
Although Windows does have Software
programs, utilities, and games for free, the majority of the programs
will cost anywhere between $20.00 - $200.00+ US dollars per copy.
Microsoft Windows is not open source and the majority of Windows programs are not open source.
Mac:
Apple Macs get almost no viruses. This is mostly due to Window's superior market share.
Macs only run on Apple computers, and are thus less prone to hardware and software crashing.
Mac costs even more than Windows and are only available on Apple computers. If you already have a
computer, you cannot install MAC on it unless it's an Apple. Otherwise,
you must buy a new computer.
"There are about 60,000 viruses known for Windows, 40
or so for the Macintosh, about 5 for commercial Unix versions, and
perhaps 40 for Linux. "
I choose Linux, its ur turn to bring the change... They are penguins....
nice :)
