Abstract
In the current computing landscape, various operating systems are employed for different tasks, with Linux and Windows being among the most prominent. Windows OS is widely used due to its graphical user interface (GUI), but it is susceptible to viruses and security vulnerabilities. In contrast, Linux offers a more secure and efficient environment, making it a popular choice for those concerned with data integrity. While Windows is often preferred in smaller-scale settings, Linux is favored by large organizations and institutions because it is free and highly customizable. This study evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of both operating systems in terms of security measures. Through this study, we aim to provide a detailed comparison that highlights the contexts in which each operating system performs well and where they may encounter limitations. By analyzing these aspects, we seek to offer valuable insights and recommendations for individuals and organizations in selecting the most suitable operating system based on their specific needs and priorities.The comparative study of Linux and Windows operating systems has been a subject of ongoing interest and debate in the field of computer science and technology. This research aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of key differences and similarities between these two dominant platforms, focusing on aspects such as usability, security, performance, and software ecosystem.Through a systematic review of existing literature and empirical data, this study examines how Linux and Windows cater to different user needs and organizational requirements. It explores the fundamental design philosophies underlying each operating system, highlighting their impact on user experience and system administration.
