What are the features of Linux programming?

Answer 1

Different operating systems have differing features, though they all have the primary function of controlling the software and programs running on a computer or other device. Popular features include: A start menu or application menu (Windows, Linux) Multiple desktop workspaces (Linux, Mac OS X) Taskbar (Windows, Linux) or dock (Mac OS X, also Linux) to track favorite program shortcuts and active applications A desktop environment. Linux has GNOME or KDE (and a few others), Mac has Aqua, and Windows Vista has Aero. Desktop acceleration (Mac OS X, Linux using Compiz or similar, and Windows Vista Premium, Business, or Ultimate)

Answer 2

Linux is more like a language in which you structure sentences to assemble small functions to accomplish a task whereas a Windows environment accomplishes tasks by running independent programs ("executables") which may not communicate with each other except through stored data.

Linux is the best-known and most-used open source operating system. There are different 'distributions' of Linux each comes with a set of programs, tools, and services that are typically bundled together with the Linux kernel to provide all of the necessary components of a fully functional operating system. Very similar to Windows OS.

But Linux also is different from Windows in many important ways. First, and perhaps most importantly, Linux is open source software. The code used to create Linux is free and available to the public to view, edit, and-for users with the appropriate skills-to contribute to.

Linux is also different in that, although the core pieces of the Linux operating system are generally common, the many distributions of Linux include different software options. This means that Linux is incredibly customizable, because not just applications, such as word processors and Web Browsers, can be swapped around.

Answer 4

both have a user desktop and file manager

both are easy to use, once you learn

both have home user, workstation and server/enterprise editions

both have 32 and 64 bit editions

both can do anything you wish (either paid or free)

Answer 5

In Linux, a user has to communicate with the system via the codes so he/she becomes much experienced in coding in a non-GUI OS.

The same is true for a Linux programmer,the programmer gets a full independence to work on codes.

Answer 6

Combined with Apache, an open-source Web server, Linux accounts for more than a third of all servers used on the Internet.

Answer 7

this is a salient feature
