Hey, everyone, welcome to this new video.

2
00:00:03,350 --> 00:00:08,870
In this video, we will discuss the difference between Linux and Windows operating system.

3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,130
In many ways, Linux and Windows are quite similar.

4
00:00:13,550 --> 00:00:16,780
You are probably familiar with the Microsoft operating system.

5
00:00:16,970 --> 00:00:21,140
So when you use Linux, you will notice several similarities.

6
00:00:21,260 --> 00:00:24,970
But there are also a few key differences as well.

7
00:00:26,110 --> 00:00:32,620
The difference between the system first became evident when you recall the fact that Linux is open source

8
00:00:32,620 --> 00:00:36,250
software while Windows is not open source system.

9
00:00:37,150 --> 00:00:44,830
This means that the code used to create Linux is freely available to anyone to use and even edit if

10
00:00:44,830 --> 00:00:45,340
they can.

11
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:51,160
This makes Linux a highly customized, customizable piece of software.

12
00:00:51,910 --> 00:00:58,660
Windows, while still perhaps the most popular operating system available, does not allow any public

13
00:00:58,660 --> 00:01:05,690
access to its source code, meaning your customizable customization options are very limited.

14
00:01:06,610 --> 00:01:10,240
This key difference also means a difference in licensing.

15
00:01:11,050 --> 00:01:18,340
Anyone is able to download a single copy of Linux distribution or application and install it on multiple

16
00:01:18,340 --> 00:01:18,970
machines.

17
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,870
But Windows is restricted.

18
00:01:22,690 --> 00:01:28,750
You are only able to install and utilize Microsoft license on one machine at a time.

19
00:01:29,770 --> 00:01:34,810
Now let's talk about some similarities between Linux and Windows.

20
00:01:35,020 --> 00:01:41,770
Like Windows, Linux has a graphical interface which allows users to interact with it using icon and

21
00:01:41,770 --> 00:01:45,360
visual indicators rather than text command and navigations.

22
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:53,920
There are also Linux equivalents for virtually all the programs you have used on Windows, such as Microsoft

23
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,120
Office application.

24
00:01:55,450 --> 00:02:01,600
Mostly Windows based application and programs you can name will have a similar version on Linux operating

25
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:02,110
system.
