I always compare Linux especially the desktop and Windows to a room where the floor and ceiling are either movable or not. With Linux, you have a room where the floor and ceiling can be raised or lowered, at will, as high or low as you want to make them.
With Windows, that floor and ceiling are immovable. You can't go further than Microsoft has deemed it necessary to go. Take, for instance, the desktop. Unless you are willing to pay for and install a third-party application that can alter the desktop appearance, with Windows you are stuck with what Microsoft has declared is the ideal desktop for you. You can have as much or as little on your desktop as you want.
From simple flat Fluxbox to a full-blown 3D Compiz experience, the Linux desktop is as flexible an environment as there is on a computer.
I wanted to add this because even though Linux has reached well beyond its school-project roots, Linux users tend to be soapbox-dwelling fanatics who are quick to spout off about why you should be choosing Linux over Windows.
Of course, this is seen as less than professional by some. After all, why would something worthy of a corporate environment have or need cheerleaders?
Shouldn't the software sell itself? Because of the open source nature of Linux, it has to make do without the help of the marketing budgets and deep pockets of Microsoft. With that comes the need for fans to help spread the word. And word of mouth is the best friend of Linux. Some see the fanaticism as the same college-level hoorah that keeps Linux in the basements for LUG meetings and science projects. But I beg to differ. Another company, thanks to the phenomenon of a simple music player and phone, has fallen into the same fanboy fanaticism, and yet that company's image has not been besmirched because of that fanaticism.
Windows does not have these same fans. Instead, Windows has a league of paper-certified administrators who believe the hype when they hear the misrepresented market share numbers reassuring them they will be employable until the end of time. I remember the days of old when you had to mount your floppy to use it and unmount it to remove it. Well, those times are drawing to a close -- but not completely.
One issue that plagues new Linux users is how removable media is used. The idea of having to manually "mount" a CD drive to access the contents of a CD is completely foreign to new users. There is a reason this is the way it is. Because Linux has always been a multiuser platform, it was thought that forcing a user to mount a media to use it would keep the user's files from being overwritten by another user. Think about it: On a multiuser system, if everyone had instant access to a disk that had been inserted, what would stop them from deleting or overwriting a file you had just added to the media?
Things have now evolved to the point where Linux subsystems are set up so that you can use a removable device in the same way you use them in Windows. But it's not the norm. I couldn't figure out how best to title this point, so I went with a description. What I'm talking about is Linux' inherent ability to stop at different run levels. With this, you can work from either the command line run level 3 or the GUI run level 5.
This can really save your socks when X Windows is fubared and you need to figure out the problem. With Windows, you're lucky to get to a command line via safe mode -- and then you may or may not have the tools you need to fix the problem.
Having different run levels is helpful in another way. Say the machine in question is a Web or mail server. You want to give it all the memory you have, so you don't want the machine to boot into run level 5. However, there are times when you do want the GUI for administrative purposes even though you can fully administer a Linux server from the command line. Because you can run the startx command from the command line at run level 3, you can still start up X Windows and have your GUI as well.
With Windows, you are stuck at the Graphical run level unless you hit a serious problem. Those are 10 fundamental differences between Linux and Windows. You can decide for yourself whether you think those differences give the advantage to one operating system or the other.
Well I think my reputation and opinion precedes me, so I probably don't need to say I feel strongly that the advantage leans toward Linux. He's covered a variety of topics for over twenty years and is an avid promoter of open source.

They have improved a lot of things in it in the latest update, which is more stable than it was before. One of the best features which I love about Windows 10 is this latest and the updated Microsoft Store.
In this store, you will find all the applications and games as well. You can now install Instagram, Messenger, Facebook, and other social media applications directly on your computer. In this latest update of Windows 10, you will find out the cool and beautiful action centre.
Another thing is that you will now get all your notification in one place. This notification panel is attached to the action centre where you get notifications like the iOS or Android phones.
So after the Windows 10 update, Microsoft has removed those two applications to access the settings. The settings of your computer and the Control panel are now compiled together so that you can access them in one place without opening separate applications.
If yes, then your wait is over as I am going to tell you how you can download Windows 10 ISO image file from Microsoft totally free.
