What type of software is used in Linux operating system?
Linux is not an operating system but a kernel. Operating systems that are referred to as "Linux distributions" have a lot of common software, including mainly the Linux kernel, the GNU software and for most a graphical user interface (GUI) based on the X Window System. The other software of the basic desktop environment (like office-software, web browser, file manager, PDF viewer, music player or audio player to randomly name a few) is mostly bundled and depends on the choice of desktop environment (like gnome, KDE, XFCE, LXDE to name the most widely used ones). If the question is, which software will run on "Linux distributions", it is way to much to know it all. If the question is rather, which software will NOT run on "Linux distributions" as opposed to the latest Windows or MacOS, this includes some software that is taylored for these systems (like the latest versions of MS Office, Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer, Safari etc.) and many new programs sold for profit including recent games. The reason for the latter is the small number of "Linux" users in comparison to Windows users, which makes it most profitable for software vendors to primarily aim for the Windows market.
What types of software and operating systems are programmers likely to use for their personal computers?
The type of software and operating system used by programmers depends on the project they are working on. Someone who programs video games would likely use a Windows PC (Likely still running XP), and a programming software that is linked to the particular game engine running the video game, such as the Torque Engine. Someone who programs software for Apple computers would definitely use an up to date version of Mac OSX, and a code editor like komodo edit or BBEdit. Developing windows software and applications would require a recent windows operating system and a source code editor like Microsoft VIsual Studio, which is built into windows or notepad++, Ultraedit, Jedit, etc. Of course there is also Linux based software which would be developed on a Linux based computer and with linux edit software like NEedit or Lazarus. There are also several source code editors like Lazarus which are available across platforms, meaning they can be used on a windows, mac, or linux computer.
How can you provide security to your system?
Depends on what system you use. For windows you need to install an antivirus software and firewall. You can always just get a GNU/Linux system like Linux Mint, which is secure out of the box. In any case, you should avoid running software(programs) from untrusted sources.
What are the functions of a Linux?
Linux is a name for an operating system that was created by Linus Torvalds. It is an operating system in the since that you can run it like you would run Windows on a computer, but it is free. Linux is not an operating system in itself. Just like Windows is not an operating system in itself with Linux you have different distributions such as Linux Mint (which you should try) Just like you have Windows XP and Windows Vista Linux has different distributions. To a moderator of this site can you please move the question to the technology section. Thank You
If you install Linux on a Windows 7 computer can you use Windows 7 and Linux?
Yes, you can. It's called dualbooting. I guess with Linux you mean a Linux Distribution like Ubuntu? Check the related link if you want to know how.
