There is an old dispute between the "fans" of Linux, free software, open source and those still using the operating system of Microsoft . We do not think to solve it in this entry, because it is true that each one has its affiliations and its phobias and to taste the colors. But we would like to highlight some reasons why Ubuntu is an OS more recommended than Windows in certain aspects.
Of course you have to be objective and everything will depend on the end of why we are going to use our computer. If you want speed, stability and excellent hardware it is always advisable to switch to Mac OS X from Apple , but I understand that the inconvenience of the price can take more than one step back. An alternative that some people adore and hate is the Ubuntu operating system.
Advantages of Ubuntu over Windows
Ubuntu is the operating system Linux and can be installed on any computer. From the first versions to the last Ubuntu 13.04 has been a great rival for the Microsoft brand. Some do not just get used to it, or see inconveniences due to incompatibility with programs popularized use of the Windows environment. In any case, working with this S0 has some advantages:
1. It is free software. To have Ubuntu , you do not need to have a license payment and a serial number that normally are included in the PC to buy. Simply download the ISO file from the official Ubuntu website and create an installation disk. Then you can use it on the computers you want.
2. Has greater stability. Unlike Windows, Ubuntu is a more robust operating system, where it is less easy for system errors and failures to occur. Although the Microsoft OS has improved a lot in recent years, it still presents some performance shortcomings over time.
3. It is safer. Online security is a better controlled aspect in Ubuntu and that particularly tightens Windows. We will not say that in Ubuntu there are no viruses, but it does exercise a more efficient security control. To begin with most of the useful programs come pre-installed, and on the other hand, technically there are no executable files and every program is removable.
4. You can clone the hard drive. A peculiarity of the GNU / Linux structure is that it allows us to make copies of our hard disk and to transfer them from one computer to another in a disk or in a pen-drive. This versatility allows us to work on different computers in a much more comfortable way.
5. You do not have to buy programs. In companies you always have to buy licenses to work with the Office package, Photoshop and other software compatible with Windows. In Ubuntu all important programs (Word, Excel, etc.) are free to use and you will not have to pay for any.
The only major drawback that has Ubuntu vs. Windows is that regular users of the Microsoft operating system takes getting used to using Ubuntu as it is another style and has its own rules.
And you, do you like Windows or Ubuntu? What operating system do you use on the computer with which you are reading this entry?
