Why Linux OS is better for programming?
Hi guys,
This is my first story. So today I’m going to write about the Linux OS, especially why Linux is better for Programming than the other popular Operating Systems.
1. Security
Linux tends to be a safer system. The reason that Linux is really secure is because of the fact that the Linux Operating System is open source. it means anyone who wants to can look at the source code for the system. so anyone can find the vulnerabilities also they can patch them themselves. so they try to fix them. result of this process, every Linux kernel updates all the viruses that were made since become benign no longer work.
2.No Rebooting
Installing something in Windows operating system might work how at the end of the installation process you might have to restart the entire machine to work with that newly installed application.
But in Linux, there is no rebooting need to work with the newly installed application. We can update the entire operating system without having restarted the machine. as a programmer, we tend to install lots of different things into our machine so in that case, Linux is better than the other operating systems. and also Linux is often used for servers and no-rebooting is one of the reasons why Linux is used for servers.
3. Improved programming workflow
The package manager in Linux is a godsend for programmers in terms of efficiency. If you want to install something or use something new just type in Sudo apt-get install whatever you want to use.
Let’s take an example: Think you want to install VLC media player on your windows machine what you would have to do is first brows the right actual website and download the exe file and then install it not only potentially also need to restart your computer for use it. The process is difficult. Isn’t it? But in Linux, all you would have to do is open up the terminal window and just type,
sudo apt-get install vlc | and press enter then you are done.
Here we can talk about security also. That means when we try to download exe files you could get the wrong website and also accidentally download malware may be.
as a programmer, we usually work with lots of different technologies and we are installing things constantly to get things to work. So making the process of installing stuff as easy and safe as possible is really important and Linux does it really well.
and also there having many reasons Linux OS is better for programming in addition to the above discussed.
