==== How is Linux different from other Operating Systems ====
=== Ten things; ===
^  Linux  ^  Windows  ^ What that means!  ^
|  Linux is an open-source operating system.  |  Windows is a closed-source operating system.  |You can learn how a program works and see what it does.  |
|  Linux is free of cost.  |  Windows is paid and requires a license.  |You can keep more of your pay-check!  |
|  Uses a monolithic kernel.  |  Uses a hybrid kernel.  |Updates are simpler, and if an update breaks something, you still have the last working kernel available.  |
|  More efficient and stable, especially for servers and developers.  |  Less efficient due to resource-intensive processes.  |Your computer spends more time doing what you want.  |
|  Uses forward slash (/) for directory separation.  |  Uses backslash (\) for directory separation.  |Just like the Internet! Guess why...  |
|  More secure with better user control and fewer vulnerabilities.  |  Less secure due to higher susceptibility to malware and viruses.  |Part of this is because users tend to be more aware of security with Linux.  |
|  Preferred by hackers and security experts due to its open-source nature and control.  |  Not widely used for hacking as it lacks built-in security tools.  |You too, can learn to hack - or just use it to read your e-mail and surf the web.  |
|  Has 3 types of user accounts: (1) Regular, (2) Root, (3) Service Account.  |  Has 4 types of user accounts: (1) Administrator, (2) Standard, (3) Child, (4) Guest.  |Simpler to understand and maintain  |
|  Root user has all administrative privileges.  |  Administrator user has all administrative privileges.  |It's also very easy to allow a given user limited Admin privileges (using the sudo command).  |
|  In Linux, you can have two files with the same name but different cases (File.txt and file.txt).  |  In Windows, you cannot have two files with the same name in the same folder.  |Sometimes this is handy for configuration files.  |
