Windows and Linux

In my opinion, the difference between Windows and Linux the difference between user and geek. I have used both. I am now using Linux on my home computer mainly because it is less vulnerable to cyber attacks and malware.

Windows users tend to only want their tech products to get things done. They don't care how it does it. Whereas Linux is the preferred platform for geeks who love to know how to disassemble phones and  computers to see how they work... then put them together again.

The reason windows is so much more popular is the fact that, for most people it is so much easier to use. It is based on GUI or graphic user interface, or pictures. Point at the image of a letter and you get to write emails. Point to the image of a globe and you can surf the Web.

Underneath the  images are lines of code that gives your device the actual details of how to get the job done. Linux users love knowing this code, they love to tweak the code to make it different.... That is the thing that makes most Linux users different... They want to  control things... They like the feeling of superiority to the average windows user.

I am not going to promote one over the other here, again I use both. Each has its pros and cons.

Side-note to the Linux guy on you tube who helped me root my phone...stop loading your site with pirating malware....if I wanted my stuff stolen I would leave it on my front lawn....
