Differences Between Windows and Linux – A Guide for Windows Users

Very interesting! Could you do something like this for differences between Linux and MacOS?

I disagree with your assumption. Windows does not dominate globally.. windows dominates the desktop market only... outside of that there are 10's of billions of Linux devices that windows doesn't come remotely close to.. globally... in-fact windows has been pushed out of virtually all other markets and the desktop category is next the way Microsoft is making decisions these days.. unfortunate because i like windows too.. I only say this because its "Differences between windows and Linux" not "differences between windows and Linux in the desktop market" globally Linux dominates almost all OSes out there.. using your Globally term.. Statcounter puts windows at 26% where Linux holds ~47% even more if you lump Unix systems in with it.. but i left them out. Unix would be looking at approx 23% (it may be lumping Unix desktop systems into Linux) If you did add them together you are looking at 47+23% for all Unix/Linux like .. vs windows 26%.. one of the biggest Linux categories that has virtually eliminated windows is Android.. it is Linux.. billions of devices . What do you think?

Linux users use their operating system. The computer belongs to the user.
Windows users are used by their operating system and used by Microsoft. The hardware is taken over by microsoft.

With Linux being open source, not only is it easy to find and fix holes, but it is possible for hackers to quickly find and utilize holes in the OS. As to Linux support the user support is also very bad. They attack users for "stupid questions" and in some cases (Arch Linux for example) they are hostile to anyone asking basic questions. Linux is only great if you pick the right one is true. But you still have to become aware of the concept of mounting devices and getting access to that mount. There are also many older drivers that just do not exist on Linux. Or they are here but do not function the same making the software using that driver to fail or just not work.

Linux software and stability seemed lacking back in 2010. Yes, simply plugging an MP3 player via USB in Ubuntu 10.4 WIPED OUT THE ENTIRE HOME FOLDER! But now I'm on Linux Mint 22 and everything is much more improved and stable :)

Linux simply Rocks, I use RichARCH btw. With it I was able to get Arch Linux up and running simply and quickly with kickstart like automation features.

You can add telemetry and privacy to the list of differences. Windows makes you agree to data gathering in its license agreement and you have to opt out of it to reduce the amount of data Microsoft collects. Also you can't fully stop Microsoft's data collection on Windows 10 and 11. On Linux, there is usually no data collection by default and you have opt in to the limited data collection that some things have on Linux. When a distro makes the mistake of turning it on by default, the backlash is huge from the Linux community and there's always quick ways to turn it off.
