<Introduction>

Today we are going to answer a big question, which is the best operating system for coding? Before we begin the comparison, i will define what an operating system is and look at examples of two well-known operating systems. Finally, I will share my opinion on which one is better for coding.

// operating system

An operating system is a set of programs that manage the hardware and software resources of a computer. It is the fundamental software that allows all other programs to run correctly, coordinating the use of the processor, memory, storage and other devices. It also facilitates interaction between the user and the machine through a graphical interface or command lines.

In my opinion, Linux

Linux has several advantages over Windows for programming. Firstly, it is more secure, as it does not require antivirus software and it is easier to fix vulnerabilities because it is open source. In addition, its package manager makes it easier to install software, whereas Windows requires searching for and installing programs manually, which can involve malware risks. Linux also offers useful tools for programming, makes it easier to create scripts for repetitive tasks, performs better on older computers and allows for more customisation. Finally, error messages in Linux are often more detailed, which helps troubleshoot problems more easily.

In conclusion, the choice between Linux and Windows as an operating system for programming depends largely on your needs and priorities as a developer. If you are looking for something more advanced, Linux, if you are looking for something simple, Windows.

Microsft Windows

Microsoft Windows is an operating system developed by Microsoft, designed to facilitate the interaction between a computer's hardware and the user. Since its initial release in 1985, Windows has become one of the most widely used operating systems in the world, thanks to its intuitive graphical interface and its ability to support a wide range of software.

• Extensive software compatibility
• User Friendly

• Technical Support

GNU/Linux

GNU/Linux is a family of open-source, Unix-like operating systems. Linux itself is not an operating system; it is the kernel, which is responsible for managing how the hardware interacts with the software. It is combined with GNU, a collection of applications that run on the operating system. To make Linux accessible to different types of users and use cases, developers package the kernel and GNU tools together with additional software into what are known as distributions Each distro offers a unique set of features, software, and configurations tailored for specific purposes, such as general desktop use, servers, development, or specialized tasks like cybersecurity.

Different types of distros (distributions)

The most popular distros are:

• Flexibility and Customisation
• Stability and Performance
• Security
• There are free

• Ubuntu
• Debian
• Fedora
• Arch Linux
• Kali linux

Windows 8 Operating System Graphical Interface

It is software whose source code is not available to the public. Users only have access to the executable program, and its terms of use are controlled by the owner of the software. For example Microsoft Windows

Closed Source

It is software whose source code is available for anyone to use, modify and distribute, usually under a licence that encourages collaboration and sharing. For example Linux

Open Source

Windows is the most used operating system

in this survey conducted by Stack Overflow in 2024, after asking 65,000 programmers which operating system they preferred, they preferred Windows over MacOS or Linux.
