The creator of Linux made it open source so everyone around the world could contribute and make it better
You're probably looking for Workrave which is opensource and available for Win32 and Linux
OpenSource World was created in 1999.
In short NO.
Yes, Linux applications have significantly less viruses than Windows or Mac's OS. As Linux makes up less than two percent of OS usage, it makes no sense to the creators of viruses to make a virsus for Linux.
There are quite a few emulators that make it possible. In 2022-2023, one of the most popular choices is opensource DuckStation available for Linux and Windows: psemu.pl/ps1/tag/duckstation/ To run it you need PS1 BIOS, but mentioned above DuckStation without any problems takes advantage of opensource substitute: psemu.pl/ps1/tag/openbios/
Operating systems are developed by 3 major companies. Microsoft makes Windows, Macintosh makes macs, and Linux makes Linux operatin systems. There are a variety of versions of each OS.
Linux is an operating system kernel. It is a portion of the software that makes up a complete operating system.
Linux Mint is developed and maintained by a small team of developers, namely Clem Lefevbre. You can view the list of developers at the link below.
linux uses alot less ram than windows 7 (the more ram used the slower the computer). therefore linux makes your computer run faster
If by "Linux software" you mean the Linux kernel, it is made up of code submitted by thousands of contributors from all around the world. Linus Torvalds (creater of Linux) is the one who has the final say on what makes it into the final operating system. If you meant applications that run on Linux, there are hundreds of thousands of organizations that write software for Linux. A lot of it can be found in the Ubuntu Software Center
Linux APIs are better documented, so it's easier to program for. However, you would probably want to do your programming on whatever platform you are targeting. If you are a Windows developer, writing the programs on Linux makes little sense.
Linux is not faster or slower than any other operating system, necessarily. Apparent "speed" of operating system functions is controlled by many variables.
