Windows Vs Linux Vs Mac

Windows, Linux and Macintosh are the three operating systems that are being used today. These three OS are not new operating systems. Having survived for almost three decades the Big 3 Operating Systems still  play a vital role in computing.

Let’s star with the Windows OS platform. With 90% market share Windows  is the most widely used OS even today.

Windows

Pros

  1. Windows is the most compatible OS found today. Most of the software’s developed run on the Windows platform. Applications, drivers, games and many other complex software’s run on Windows.

  2. Windows support is legendary. As the OS is used by a large number of users it’s support network is large. It is possible to find various stores dedicated to giving support for MS Windows.

  3. Ease of use. The Windows OS is user very user friendly.

Cons

1.  Windows OS needs an Anti-Virus software to make the OS secure.

2.  The original version of the OS comes with a large cost.

3.   Some versions of the OS usually take up lot of space in the PC.

Linux

Linux is an open source OS developed during the early 90’s.

Pros

1. Linux is an open source software which makes it available to everyone for free.

2. Linux is actually not an OS. It is a kernel. Therefore, there are multiple versions of the software. For example, there is Fedora, Ubuntu , Chrome OS etc.

3. Linux has a good shield against viruses and is considered to be more secure than Windows.

Cons

  1. Linux is not much compatible. Only a few applications can actually run on Linux.

  2. Linux is complicated compared to Windows. An user will need a good deal of computer knowledge and commands to actually make it work.

  3. Linux is usually not pre-loaded. Very few vendors usually  pre-load the computers with Linux.

Mac OS

Mac OS is even older than Windows. It was the first ever Graphical User Interface based computer system the world has ever seen.

Pros

1. Apples’ Mac OS is in a different league when it comes to shielding users from attacks.  The OS has features like Gatekeeper, xProtect and Apple’s Sandbox which makes the system almost 100% secure.

2. Macs run only on Apple computers and are less prone to crashing. Also, it is not easy to find a pirated version of Macintosh

3. Aesthetically pleasing  user interface and easy to work for users.

Cons

  1. Mac is super expensive. It’s much more expensive than Windows or Linux.

  2. Mac is not  that compatible. Most software’s are not designed to run on Mac.

  3. Mac is gamer unfriendly. The OS is not known to run a lot of games.

The OS of today are quite improved from the OS of the 90’s . However, the underlying features haven’t changed much. The OS of the future will be more about creating a better user experience through deep learning. AI will play a significant role in improving the OS’s of tomorrow.
