Is Linux complicated?
For typical everyday Linux use, there’s absolutely nothing tricky or technical you need to learn. Running a Linux server, of course, is another matter–just as running a Windows server is. But for typical use on the desktop, if you’ve already learned one operating system, Linux should not be difficult.
What is so special about Linux?
Linux allows a user to control every aspect of the operating system. As Linux is an open-source operating system, it allows a user to modify its source (even source code of applications) itself as per the user requirements. Linux allows the user to install only the desired software nothing else (no bloatware).
Why are there so many versions of Linux?
There’s Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux Mint, elementary and hundreds of other ‘Linux variants’. The trouble is that some of them look just like the others. If that’s the case, why are there so many Linux operating systems?
Why do people want to use Linux instead of Windows?
You probably know only Windows, but now you want to use Linux because you read that Linux is better than Windows as it’s more secure and you don’t have to buy a license to use Linux. But then when you go about downloading and installing Linux, you learn that Linux is not a single entity.
What is the look and feel of Linux?
The component that provides the look and feel in a Linux OS is called the desktop environment. In our analogy here, you can think of it as a combination of the outer body and matching interiors. This is what provides the look and feel for your vehicle, does it not?
What’s the difference between GNOME and Xfce in Linux?
GNOME provides a modern-looking desktop, but it consumes more RAM and thus requires that your computer has more than 4 GB of RAM. Xfce on the other hand may look old/vintage but it can run on systems with 1 GB of RAM. As you start using Linux, you’ll also come across opportunities to easily install other desktop environments on your current system.
